Since 2019, I’ve worked part-time as a freelance artist to fund my education. Starting as a portrait artist and novel illustrator, I mastered graphite, charcoal, watercolor, oil, acrylic, and digital media. During 2020, I explored social media content, earning mentions from Marcello Barenghi and Charles Laveso(internet personalities). I created flipbooks, logos, stop-motion videos, and social media edits. I have worked on comic books, Participated in Coca-Cola's "What's better time for us to __ than now?" contest, film poster contests for Chaos Walking and Morbius, and packaging contests for Absolut Vodka and Glenlivet. I've been a brand designer for Shepperton General Store (Australia), an illustrator for a statewide political campaign, and showcased my art in "Samabhavana" exhibition. I’ve also designed wedding card illustrations printed in the hundreds.
Hiring me means gaining a versatile, experienced creative at a sustainable price.
My traditional art education at R.L.V. College of Fine Arts provided a strong foundation for analyzing and solving diverse creative challenges through design and illustration. I am self-taught in several software tools, mostly Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as Clip Studio Paint, Adobe InDesign, Figma, Blender, ZBrush, Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Toon Boom Harmony. To stay current with industry trends, I’ve been exploring generative AI, using tools like ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion AI. While I am critical of generative AI using in final production, I am keen on developing AI models trained on my artworks to accelerate the creative process.
