ABOUT WILX
For over 30 years, I’ve worked creativity across many diverse industries, from illustrating children’s books and designing luxury watches to film props and interactive TV platforms. No matter the medium, my focus is turning ideas into impactful, memorable design.
As a Creative Lead, I deliver cohesive, collaborative, high-impact solutions under pressure. My illustration work is internationally recognized, award-winning, and constantly evolving.
