I grew up as a little kid who filled her pages with doodles, never thinking much beyond the joy of making them. During my volunteer trip to Cambodia, I gave a simple drawing to a girl who barely spoke. The way her face lit up in this quiet yet honest way, spoke to me more than words ever could. In that small moment, I realised art could hold real warmth, connection, and care. That feeling has shaped my work ever since.
I’m based in Melbourne and graduated from RMIT with a bachelor's in design (Animation & Interactive Media). I love working across illustration, character design, motion design, and storytelling. I’m equally comfortable working independently on my own ideas, or shaping a project around someone else's brief. Both processes push me in different ways and together they help me grow as an artist.
Artistically, my work often lives in the space between softness and imagination. I’m drawn to gentle characters, vibrant colours, and textured scenes that feel lived-in and handmade.
A lot of that comes from my love for creating things with my hands - tiny crafts, stitched pieces, and little experiments that don’t follow any rules. That simple act of making has always grounded me, and it’s also where many of my ideas begin. The textures, colours, and playfulness I discover through crafting naturally find their way into my illustration and design work, shaping how I think about character, atmosphere, and storytelling.
While I love creating for all ages, creating children’s media holds a special place in my heart. There’s something magical about the way children see the world: openly, intuitively, and without hesitation. They notice small things, believe big things, and hold onto stories in a way that becomes part of who they are. Creating for them feels like offering tiny guiding lights- I hope to give them sparks of comfort, courage, joy, or curiosity that might stay with them long after.
Deep in the heart of a magical jungle, Mira discovers a mysterious glowing fox unlike anything she's ever seen. The problem? No matter how hard she tries to attract it, the creature remains ever so elusive and refuses to come any closer. With the help of some animal friends, Mira sets off on a quest to collect the jungle’s shiniest treasures, in hopes of luring the creature closer.
