GRAPHIC DESIGNER

I am a 25 year old graphic designer/Illustrator in my 3rd and final year studying a bachelor of Interactive Digital Design, through Murdoch University. I specialize in western cartoon /comic artstyle and have an extensive knowledge of traditional and digital mediums and design processes.

I was born in 1983 in Perth, Western Australia, where I currently live. Around 1996, during my years in high school, I started reading comics. Soon after, I started drawing them, to which I have never stopped. I’m hugely inspired by artists such as Joe Madureira, Pop Mahn, Humberto Ramos, Bill Watterson and many, many others.
