I'm better known under the moniker, Handsome Girl. I mainly focuses on digital illustrations revolving around intersectional feminism, body positivity and female empowerment. My design path started as a therapeutic outlet for my own eating disorder, in which I secretly struggled on and off with for over 15 years. I started drawing as a way to celebrate the beauty of my own body and other womxn’s bodies. Celebrating all the different shapes, shades and experiences beauty can come in. Later, I moved on to adding in playful takes on sexual health, snacks, and positive affirmations. All things that have been fundamental elements in my personal recovery and ongoing journey to practice radical self-love and appreciation for all the diverse beauty in this world.

I have had the opportunity to lead the design and product development for licensed food, beauty, and care items across some of Universal's biggest intellectual properties. It has been an exciting challenge to offer a fresh perspective and innovation to ensure that Universal Licensed products and packaging stand out on the shelves against competitors. By constantly pushing the boundaries and thinking outside the box, we have created truly unique and captivating products that capture the essence of these beloved franchises. I am proud to have been a part of this process and to contribute to the success of Universal's licensed products and be the lead on the 19 Crimes x Universal Monster collaboration, which won 2023's Product of the Year for North America
