Living in the Moment
A typographic poster inspired by a meaningful quote from a loved one. The client wanted the words to take centre stage, reflecting both emotion and visual rhythm. I began by hand-lettering each word in ink, before scanning and refining the composition in Photoshop to experiment with colour variation, texture, and layout — achieving a design that feels both personal and expressive
Pet Portraits
A pair of digital pet portraits created as heartfelt gifts — one commissioned as a birthday present, and the other as a wedding gift. Each piece was carefully painted to highlight the personality and warmth of the dogs, blending realistic detail with a painterly digital style.
'That's lovely! Thank you so much again for doing that! I think they'll love it!'

AAJJ World Map
Commissioned by clients who wanted a digitally painted recreation of a sketch they had drawn during their travels. The brief was to preserve the charm and spontaneity of their original drawing while enhancing it with rich colour, texture, and detail — creating a finished piece that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the memories of their journey.
Tom & Jerry
This custom digital artwork was commissioned as a wedding anniversary gift, inspired by the couple’s shared love of the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons and their own motorbike and sidecar. The goal was to capture their playful energy and sense of nostalgia in a fun, personalised illustration.
Peter Rabbit
A birthday commission featuring a digital painting of Peter Rabbit, created as a modern tribute to the timeless character. The piece combines soft brushwork and subtle colour tones to evoke the charm and nostalgia of Beatrix Potter’s beloved illustrations.
Final Thoughts
My commissioned work has been wonderfully diverse — from a typographic poster and original character illustration to digital pet portraits and personalised gifts. Each project has taught me the importance of communication, understanding a client’s vision, and maintaining a smooth creative process within deadlines. I’ve gained confidence in my workflow and approach, and the positive feedback I’ve received has been both encouraging and rewarding. I look forward to taking on future commissions and collaborating with more great clients.
