Rowan Dunn (he/they)Digital Artist · Illustrator · Visual Storyteller · [email protected] · ruddykite.carrd.co · Reading, UKI’m a digital artist and illustrator exploring how stories, identity, and imagination intersect through visual design. My work bridges fine art and digital media — from detailed concept art and stylised illustration to narrative-led campaigns and participatory projects.I combine bold, character-driven creativity with a disciplined production mindset: delivering visuals that are expressive, accessible, and ready for real-world use — whether that means print, video, 3D, or social media.
