From initial concept sketches to polished narrative scenes, my work focuses on bringing stories to life through expressive characters and rich visual lore.

Detailed sheets showcasing characters from every angle, capturing their personality and design elements for consistent animation and illustration.

Visual lore and concept art that establish the unique atmosphere and history of a story's setting, from props to environmental details.
From Sketchbook to Story
Every character starts with a tiny detail—a fraying scarf, a curious pet, or a hidden map. My process moves from initial thumbnail concepts to polished digital brushwork, ensuring each piece tells its own compelling story.
I draw cozy, story-rich worlds where small adventures lead to unexpected friendships, creating visual lore that reveals big character arcs through tiny details.
