Mea Jordaan

Freelance Illustrator, Designer, and Creative

Cape Town, South Africa
Illustration is my passion, but I'm pretty amped about information design too. My favourite design principles are colour, texture, and contrast and I'm always trying to find dynamic relationships between them. My personal work exists in flux between delightful and disturbing.
