Artist, Illustrator and Designer based in Manchester, UK.
✱ With a background in Illustration, Art and Design, I bring a comical and energetic approach to visual storytelling. Deeply influenced by my playful drawing practice, I explore the space between reality and imagination. My work is rhythmic and expressive, depicting people, animals, and environments with a sense of active imperfection.

Culture & Influence
My creative outlook has always been shaped by curiosity and discovery. Growing up, summers were spent between San Martino di Castrozza in the Italian Dolomites and Rosnov in the Czech countryside. Both these places sparked a lifelong fascination with nature, animals, adventure and atmosphere.
Back home in England, during my college years studying Art & Design, I was drawn to urban exploration and graffiti, where I learnt the blend of rhythm and expression. Painting walls early in my career led me to discover lots about my practice - a fascination with the textures of urban walls, and the value of owning imperfections.
That same sense of searching runs through other parts of my life now - where I go vinyl digging, chasing rare records and unexpected sounds, and attending fashion shows across Europe. Music, fashion, art, and the streets constantly intersect in my practice. They all speak to finding beauty in what’s real, personal, and in motion.
