I have a degree in Graphic Design and specialize in the creation and application of vector elements for various purposes. Here is a brief explanation and some benefits of vectors in graphic design: - Scalability without loss of quality: The main advantage of vector graphics is that they can be enlarged or reduced to any size without losing resolution or original quality. - Flexible Editing: Various elements are easy to edit, allowing you to adjust shapes, colors, and outlines independently and precisely. - Smaller File Size: Vector files are generally smaller than high-resolution image files because they store mathematical instructions instead of data for each individual pixel. Applications: Logos/ Illustrations/ Maps/ Stickers/ Banners/ Posters/ Canvas/ Clothing/ etc. Print (large or small scale) or Web

I create digitally hand-drawn architectural illustrations that combine atmosphere, composition, and storytelling to bring buildings, cities, and spaces to life. 🟢 Currently Available for New Projects I'm an architectural illustrator with over 8 years of professional experience and a licensed architect who enjoys drawing buildings, cities, and places with character. My work combines architectural knowledge with illustration to create artwork that feels thoughtful, atmospheric, and rich in detail. I specialize in architectural illustrations, freehand sketches, watercolor-style artwork, cityscapes, editorial illustrations, and book illustrations. Whether it's illustrating a historic street, visualizing a new architectural concept, or creating presentation artwork, I focus on strong composition, perspective, proportion, and visual hierarchy to communicate each idea clearly. I enjoy projects where architecture tells a story. From traditional sketch-style illustrations to detailed digital artwork, I aim to capture not only the design of a place but also its atmosphere, identity, and sense of scale. My architectural background allows me to approach every illustration with both technical understanding and artistic expression. If you're looking for architectural illustrations that combine craftsmanship, storytelling, and attention to detail, feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to discuss your project and get back to you promptly. Architectural Design - Architectural Rendering - Architectural Visualization - Architectural Drafting
