During my time as a designer,
I never stopped drawing. I even started taking illustration commissions, although I initially felt a bit unsure about it.
Gradually, I realized that illustration was my true calling. So one day, I made the brave decision to leave my job. I immersed myself in furthering my illustration skills through courses, built a captivating portfolio, and created this website to showcase my work. I dedicated myself entirely to the art of illustration, turning down design projects. It wasn't always easy, but I was determined in pursuing my passion.
Since leaving the world of IT, nearly three years have passed, and during this time, I've had the privilege of working on various exciting projects. From collaborating with Labtorium, an eco-conscious cosmetics brand, to bringing joy to users through illustrations for the
Happy Color app. I even had the incredible opportunity to
illustrate an entire book about animals and several individual fairy tales, as well as working with non-profit organizations.
Eventually, an exciting new opportunity presented itself:
teaching. I developed offline courses in botanical illustration, color science, and composition. Recently, I also recorded an online course on Magical Botanical Illustration with an esteemed online Drawing School. It brings me great joy to see the course resonating with learners and igniting their passion for artistic expression.
