I am an illustrator and an aspiring animator, currently working on a portfolio to grow my career as an artist. I love storytelling and creating characters. Often, I find myself drawn to stories where I can resonate emotionally and deeply with the characters. Because of that interest, I get inspiration from a personal place when creating my work. My goal was to spend this year creating pieces that highlight my skills as an illustrator by creating something from scratch, something that I can further develop when my time at university comes to an end. It has been a journey to discover what sort of identity I want as an adult going into the ‘real world’.
