Hello there! I'm Cora, an emerging designer and illustrator based in South Africa. My love for children's literature runs deep, and the splendour of nature continues to fuel my creativity.

Having acquired a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art alongside an Honours degree in Illustration, I embarked on my journey as a freelance Illustrator and Designer. I take pride in illustrating a spectrum of books, ranging from learning resources to personal tales and colourful children's illustrated books. I've also catered to unique small-scale projects like wedding invitations, product packaging, logo creation, and more. Most recently, I've found myself intrigued by UI design and am eager to hone my abilities in this area.

If my collection of works resonates with you and you need assistance with a project, please feel free to contact me. I'm open to both private commissions and team projects. I can't wait to hear from you soon!
