As an Illustrator and Graphic Designer, I have always been drawn to how minimalism can communicate complex ideas and narratives. I am influenced and inspired by contemporary illustrators such as Chris Haughton and Jon Klassen, and my work explores the use of simple shapes, colour and composition to convey emotions.

Working with Adobe Illustrator and After Effects, I have created an animated e-book with sound for children aged 3-6 years based on the Italian folktale Uncle Wolf (1956), which I have adapted for a modern audience. My aim is for the e-book to be used as an educational tool that children can learn from, so I have tried to evoke the various strong emotions created within the story.

Fel Darlunydd a Dylunydd Graffig, rwyf o hyd wedi cael fy nhynnu at sut y gall minimaliaeth gyfleu syniadau a naratifau cymhleth. Mae darlunwyr cyfoes fel Chris Haughton a Jon Klassen yn dylanwadu arnaf ac yn fy ysbrydoli, ac mae fy ngwaith yn archwilio'r defnydd o siapiau syml, lliw a chyfansoddiad i gyfleu emosiynau.

Gan ddefnyddio Adobe Illustrator ac After Effects, rwyf wedi creu e-lyfr animeiddiedig gyda sain ar gyfer plant oed 3-6 yn seiliedig ar y chwedl werin Eidalaidd Uncle Wolf (1956), yr wyf wedi'i haddasu ar gyfer cynulleidfa fodern. Fy nod yw i'r e-lyfr gael ei ddefnyddio fel offeryn addysgol y gall plant ddysgu ohono, felly rwyf wedi ceisio ennyn yr amrywiaeth o emosiynau cryf a grëwyd yn y stori.
