Interview:


Preferred Pronoun?
she/they

Why did you choose to enter this work?
I'm newer to the illustration industry and wanted to put myself out there! I've mainly worked as a 2D animator in the past, and this is my first series of personal work I've created since graduating.

What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
I love the playfulness, the characters, and the colours. I had a lot of fun making them, and I like that they feel like me!

What excites you most about being shortlisted?
To be among so many amazing illustrators is such an honour!

Where do you usually work?
I usually work from my apartment on my standing desk with a table easel.

How long did it take to complete your project?
The Mind Body series is still ongoing so I'm not sure when or if it will ever be complete, but it's definitely evolved and changed over time. each painting takes me anywhere from 3 - 8 days.

What is your dream commission?
I'd love to do a comic or graphic novel series! I'm also interested in designing some cool patterns for clothes :)

What’s your favourite thing to draw?
Little creatures!!!

What is your best tip for other illustrators?
To remember to follow your intuition!

What are your plans for the future?
To do more illustrations and murals, as well as explore longer-form storytelling with animation and comics! :)
