Affinity

Affinity is the award-winning creative software suite behind tools like Designer, Photo and Publisher. As a member of the Affinity Pro Panel, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with their team across a range of projects, including interviews, commissioned artwork, long-form creative sessions, social media content and speaking at international events.

Canva Create

In 2025, Affinity invited me and four other artists from around the world to join them in Los Angeles for a week of creative collaboration. The main event was Canva Create, a global conference that brings together designers, developers and creators to explore the future of visual communication.

As part of Affinity’s presence at the event, I had the opportunity to demo the software in real time, connect with attendees, and take part in a live on-stage interview to share my creative process and experience using Affinity tools.

Pro Panel

As a member of the Affinity Pro Panel, a small group of professional users from around the world, I play a modest role in helping shape the software. I share feedback, raise concerns, answer questions and connect with others in the group. It’s a space for open dialogue and collaboration, all with the goal of making Affinity even better.

Collaboration

Affinity has commissioned me to create commercial artwork that highlights what their tools can do. This includes fictional brand projects designed to showcase features in action, as well as social videos that walk through my process and demonstrate the software in real-world creative use.
