I’ve been working as an illustrator for the 8 years now (after graduating Uni in 2015). Somehow everything has grown quite organically and I haven’t needed to try too hard to find work. This is a privilege and I’m so incredibly grateful to all the wonderful people who’ve supported me over the years.
The other side of the coin is that I have never set out with a singular goal or mission in mind and have sometimes got caught up in small projects that don’t bring me as much joy or recognition. I’ve decided that this year, I’d like to slow down the retail side of my business (less markets and wholesaling) and focus on collaborations with other excellent Australian brands and publishers.
I’m currently in the middle of re-jigging my portfolio to include only some of my favourite pieces so that I might be able to pitch myself to some awesome people. If you’re interested in seeing my work-in-progress portfolio, check it out here!
