Driven by a decade of exploration across vibrant cultures, my illustrations capture the intricate details of architecture and the stories they whisper. From honing my skills in London to immersing myself in the artistic energy of Tokyo, each experience has woven a thread into my creative tapestry. Now, based in Wellington, New Zealand, my focus remains on meticulous observation, merging the familiar with fantastical elements to create captivating narratives. This fusion reflects my own journey - a homecoming after a decade abroad, forever enriched by the diverse tapestry of cultures and experiences I encountered.
