A live event illustrator creates bespoke illustrations during an event, offering guests a unique and interactive experience. From personalised guest portraits and fashion illustrations to live product personalisation, each piece is drawn on the spot. Guests can watch their illustration come to life and take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake from the occasion. Live illustration is a creative addition to weddings, corporate events, brand activations and private celebrations.The process is simple. Guests have their photo taken before returning to enjoy the event, while I work on bringing their portrait to life. Once complete, each illustration is printed on the spot and presented as a personalised keepsake for guests to take home.

I provide live illustration for a wide range of events and occasions, including:Weddings (live wedding illustration and guest portraits)Corporate events (galas, conferences and client experiences)Brand activations and in-store events (fashion, beauty and luxury brands)Private celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions)Fashion shows and industry eventsProduct launches and promotional eventsAnd moreAvailable for bookings across Dubai, UK and internationally, I bring a personalised live illustration experience to events of all kinds.
