PROJECTS
Scene Queen Slaughter (SQS) is a video game concept developed over the course of 4 weeks between a team of 20 designers. In that short timeframe, we developed characters, enemies, environments, props, and more! I was proud to be a part of the animation team. I also created sprites for a few of our characters, and put together an artbook showcasing all the work our team did on this project.
I learned so much about the development pipeline working on this project, and the tight deadline forced us to think on our feet and trust each other. I bonded with my teammates and shared passion for a project we all cared deeply about. Watch the trailer for our game above and explore the artbook I made here!
Pawn frontation is a chess board themed cats vs dogs playing card deck created between a group of 5 people over the course of 3 weeks. The goal of this project was to create a complete deck of cards with a coherent theme and style. An important aspect of working on a design team is being able to understand and match a style.
For this project, I designed the cat face cards, as well as the design for our joker card. We also needed a trailer to showcase our theme and all the cards we designed and animated, which I put together on Adobe After Effects
Working on pieces for clients is my absolute favorite part of being a designer. It is an honor to bring people's visions to life! These are some examples of commissions made for private clients. projects include character illustrations and pet portraits

When I craft my work, it has always been vital to me to focus on color and feeling. As a kid I focused a lot on animals and imagination, and I find myself carrying that same childlike whimsy into my work today. I always try to create vibrant, dynamic images that can reflect the color and beauty I know can be present in our world. Be it characters work, magazines, books, surface design, or personal projects, I bring in the playfulness, vibrance, and wonder present in the plants and animals all around us, and expand on those inspirations to create lasting connections with people. I have a special place in my heart for conservation and education, so spreading awareness and sparking interest will always be an important part of my mission. I try to bring my passion for conservation and love for animals to every project I am lucky enough to be a part of, and hopefully inspire that passion in others.
