Beauty is a painter, visual designer, and illustrator who brings stories to life through color, texture, and form. Her work blends traditional painting, illustration, and digital design, with a strong focus on emotional connection and visual storytelling. Illustration remains central to her practice, where she creates expressive characters and designs full of energy and meaning.

From the artist:

Hi, I’m Beauty! I’m a painter, visual designer, and illustrator with a deep passion for bringing stories to life through color, texture, and form. My creative journey is all about exploring the emotional connection between visual language and the world around us, whether through traditional painting, detailed illustrations, or digital design.

Illustration plays a huge role in my work, and I love creating unique characters and designs that evoke meaning and energy. I bring this same passion and creativity to my role as a Product Designer, where I approach design with a strong eye for detail, storytelling, and visual harmony.

As a painter, visual designer, and illustrator, I combine artistic expression with technical skill to create thoughtful, people-centered experiences. If you share a love for art, design, or illustration, I’d love to connect and explore new ideas! Feel free to reach out.
