Hike

“I created a series of ink drawings featuring two little adventurers: Ginkgo Boy and Acorn Girl. I inked them on paper and brought them to life with colour in Procreate.”

Plaid

“I adored this thrifted shirt for its fun geometric shape and design. Inspired by it, I wanted to create a design that pushes playful, geometric shapes and finds that same joyful energy.”

Orange

“Inspired by a photo of a child on a bike, I imagined a story where a boy discovers a box of kittens and faces the dilemma of whether or not to take them home.”

Mary and Lambs

“I find a lot of inspiration in daydreaming and cloud watching. One day I saw a girl with a flock of lambs following closely behind her, which sparked this idea.”
