She has a strong growing fan base online. Her dedication, hard work and ambitious nature has inspired many people to pursue their dreams.
Weapon of choice:
Black ink, pencils and paint.
Process:
It’s a collaborative process where she’s able to adapt to the needs of each client and creates timeless work. Wether it's bringing out someone's personality through portrait sketch or creating a timeless logo. “It’s really about connecting with people and brands on a deeper level and telling their story.” Communication and an intuitive understanding is key.
Drawing was an obsession from an early age and a form of escape from reality. It became a ‘professional’ business in May 2017 when people started asking for commissioned work and brands wanted to collaborate with her. “I realised I could make a living out of my passion, while creating a positive impact for others and that was the best feeling!”
