Technical illustrator and graphic designer. Published in BBC Science Focus, WIRED Italia, and Popular Mechanics. I specialise in making complex information clear and considered — 3D cutaways, technical schematics, infographics, data visualisation, whitepaper layout, and presentation design. Whether the brief is an F1 suspension exploded view or a property marketing brochure, the approach is the same: strong hierarchy, tight grids, and visuals that actually communicate. A decade of experience across publishing, tech, and property marketing. I work in Cinema 4D, Redshift, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Figma. Native English speaker

My skills include technical and realistic illustration, cutaway drawings, exploded views, maps, information graphics, step-by-step diagrams and photo retouching/manipulation.

I am a vector illustrator and graphic designer who creates both professional vector artwork and hand-drawn raster illustrations. My primary focus is educational illustrations, custom icon design, instructional graphics, diagrams, maps, and clean vector artwork. I enjoy transforming complex ideas into clear and engaging visuals while maintaining a consistent and professional style. Unlike many designers who work only with vector tools, I often begin projects by drawing concepts by hand in Procreate. This allows me to develop stronger compositions, more natural shapes, and unique visual solutions before creating the final vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator. I also create: • Custom vector icons • Educational illustrations and worksheets • Infographics and diagrams • Technical and instructional illustrations • Logo refinement and vector recreation • Print-ready vector artwork • Children's activity books and coloring books • Black-and-white line art illustrations • KDP interiors and activity pages My workflow combines hand-drawn raster illustration with professional vector production. Every project is carefully refined to ensure clean shapes, scalability, attention to detail, and excellent results in both print and digital formats. Software: • Adobe Illustrator • Adobe Photoshop • Procreate • Canva Whether you need educational graphics, icon systems, vector illustrations, print-ready artwork, or children's book content, I am committed to delivering professional, polished results and maintaining clear communication throughout the project.

As a freelance illustrator with over 13 years of experience, I’m all about creating colourful, bold, and adaptable artwork that brings my clients’ visions to life. My unique style is inspired by classic cartoons and comic art and I work primarily as a vector artist. My journey as an illustrator started when I discovered my interest in digital art after studying Fine Art at university almost 20 years ago, and since then I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from around the world. My approach is focused on quality and client satisfaction, and I’m committed to providing a personalised experience that meets the needs of each client.
