The Summer and Autumn of 2023 were a vibrant mix of emotions and experiences that deeply influenced my illustrations. As I planned my move to Italy and dreamt of pursuing creative work full-time, you can sense the excitement and anticipation in my designs. Balancing client projects with my personal aspirations brought a burst of energy to my work. At the same time, the stress of my hectic life in London—juggling a full-time chef job I disliked—sparked a longing for peace, nature, and slower, more mindful moments. This period of transition is reflected in my designs, blending the liveliness of summer with the calm and introspective vibes of autumn, capturing both my dreams and the craving for tranquillity.
