Illustration
From conceptual illustrations to crafting a brand’s visual language, drawing is at the center of all my work. Working with a client’s art direction, I kick off our collaboration by creating mutual understanding of the intended goals, develop multiple conceptual directions, revise ideas based on stakeholder feedback and finally deliver print ready files on time.
Some past clients include Apple, Facebook, SFMOMA, AirBnb, Penguin Books and Fast Company.

I worked with the team of Art Directors at Apple Books to create a cohesive illustration system for the Winter and Spring seasonal campaigns, including more than 20 original illustrations for different collections of content.
