I'm a graphic designer of 15 years experience, I decided take a break and chase a dream of becoming an illustrator or an artist or maker of things - I'm just here trusting the process.

I have always loved animation, books with wonderful illustrations and growing up I was always drawing, painting and making some form of creation with scrap bits around the house. As an adult at work I would doodle on scrap pieces of paper or draw on the work board caricatures of my work colleagues. As a mom to three boys I am elbow deep with their school projects or general craft, our house is very well stocked with creative supplies :)

I recently started drawing on my iPad using Procreate and have never been this excited and eager to learn again, discovering an inspirational digital world full of professionals and others like me just giving it a good go at it.
