✨ I’m beyond thrilled to share that my project has been awarded Overall New Talent Winner of the World Illustration Awards 2025! ✨ I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this, it still doesn’t feel real. No words could ever fully capture how grateful I am for this recognition. The past few weeks have been challenging, caught between job hunting and pursuing freelance illustration, questioning financial stability, and feeling torn between following my dream or choosing the safer path. That’s why this recognition feels like a beautiful sign from the universe to keep going, embrace the uncertainty, and trust the journey. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the support and encouragement along the way. I truly didn’t expect this, and I couldn’t be more thankful 💛 My cocktail cans and animated gifs are in the New Talent Design Product & Packaging category. This year counted over 4700 entries! Check my entry page on the WIA website (link in my bio) as well as the other shortlisted and winning projects of talented illustrators coming from all around the world! Thank you for making this amazing competition possible @theaoi  @dirillustration and @worldillustrationawards #wia2025 #wia2025winner #worldillustrationawards #worldillustrationawards2025

So proud to finally share this project I’ve been working on for @lartecoffeehouse 🩷 This 2 meter mural is now up in their Café in Bournemouth! It is amazing to see my illustration at such a scale. I feel tiny next to it!

Okay I know, it’s spring. But I really wanted to finish off this Winter Games series with a Paralympic illustration I did while watching the games! It’s the last one, I promise. Now let’s make way for summer ☀️ . . #illustration #digitalart #olympics #paralympics #sports

Editing this video and reliving all the crazy Olympic moments really inspired me to draw more winter athletes! Loved the challenge of using only a limited colour palette for this one ❤️🩷 . . #illustration #olympics #curling #sport

A few months ago, I participated in an open call to design an espresso cup and saucer plate for @moebelpfister Even though my design wasn’t selected, I’m still absolutely in love with it 🧡
