Rainy Thoughts.

2016. Mix of Pen + Digital.

"Princess Zoe's First Quest" is a story I wrote, illustrated and self-published for my fourth year narrative class. It is a 32-page children's book that tells the story of Zoe, a princess who loves archery and sword fighting. Zoe wants nothing more to go on a quest on her on, just like the heroes and princes, but is constantly told that she cannot, simply because she is a princess.

An illustration done for the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. It was used in The National's online gallery.

A promo animation I made for myself along with some of the single gif animations that were used in putting it together. I used frame by frame animation to create individual animated pieces in Adobe Photoshop, and then used After Effects to compile it into one complete animation.
The first gif (running girl) was featured on the Tumblr Radar.

One of my biggest passions aside from illustration and design is sewing. A few years ago I found the perfect way to combine these two passions: designing my own fabric. I illustrate the fabric designs, get the fabric printed, and then use create handmade items such as pouches and scarves.

I also use my design and illustration skills to create handmade products such as keychains and earrings.
