I create narratives of Connection and Self-Discovery.

Hyacinthe miller

In a world rich with diverse experiences, I delve deeply into universal themes like relationships, belonging, loss, joy, resilience and identity. I examine our relationship with ourselves and illustrate human interactions in a variety of situations and times. Each story reveals the paths we take to find ourselves and others. Every character I create must unravel the complex tapestry of human connections to define who they are and where they belong. These narratives invite readers to reflect on the moments that shape us all, making the personal universal and the universal deeply personal.
