A digitally painted portrait of a girl defiantly staring at the viewer, with her hands clutching at her chest. She is made of marble and stone, the cracks running along her face and body is filled in with blue, shiny material.

An ode to the indomitable human spirit.

I was inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with the use of lacquer and gold, a practice which embraces flaws and imperfections.

I wanted to illustrate that philosophy in a way that can be applied to people. To those with the the strength to face adversity, pick up the pieces of themselves, and live on – changed but beautiful nonetheless. Those with an unbreakable will.

I had the pleasure to work together with the team at Happy Cap Studio to design two sets of spring themed photo strips.

Inspired by my visit to the Auburn Cherry Blossom Festival, I pitched my ‘Cherry Blossom’ and ‘Spring Picnic’ designs as an opportunity to welcome the warmer weather!

Jigamoe was a pleasure to work with! Their designs were well thought out, caring and brought value to both our in-store frame offerings and to our customers’ enjoyment! The communication style was clear, concise and easily understood. A notable mention was the use of visual mapping early on in the engagement to clearly communicate the design path we were discussing.

]]> Inspired by Lady Gaga’s song ‘Hair’, this series of portraits interprets each woman’s hair as water. The different bodies of water represents one’s hair as an extension of one’s identity.

Layout of the four illustrations in a diamond formation in clockwise order.
A slightly low angle digital portrait of a confidant woman peering down. Her blue wavy hair flows over one shoulder, ending as a crashing wave.
Wave
A girl is facing right, looking over her shoulder at the viewer. Light shines from her direction as her pink and purple hair gracefully falls like a waterfall.
Waterfall
A mysterious woman has her head tilted slightly down and looks up at the viewer. An unknown light source is casted onto her face from below creating a water reflection pattern. Her blue hair is styled in finger waves and moves like rippled water. She wears earring shaped in water droplets.
Ripple
A woman smiles cheekily as light shines from the left, illuminating her short undercut. The hair curves to one side while the shaved area is dyed blonde, like a green wave crashing onto sandy shores. She wears a spire shell earring that pierces through her ear, green eyeliner and has a coloured moon and jellyfish tattoo up her neck.
