Illustration Collection
When I’m not working on video or design projects, I love to draw. My illustration work is personal and playful, often focusing on animals, comics, and portraits. It’s a creative outlet that lets me experiment with style and storytelling in a different medium.
Poster Hodgepodge
Posters are one of my favorite things to make. This is a mash-up of designs I’ve created over the years, a colorful wall of shows, classes, and events that I’ve had fun bringing to life. Some you’ll spot on other pages, but here they’re stacked together just for the joy of it.
