To craft a memorable design, I blend typography and illustration methods to create visually striking logos and anagrams. These are some examples from current and past clients that showcase successful end products.
As and experienced painter, I’ve honed my craft to translate profound emotions onto canvas of familiarity and oddity. I aim to capture the essence of the moment, making my work a testament to the endless possibilities of artistic expression.

My work serves as a visual portal to the unparalleled. Igniting imagination and emotion is my goal when creating scenes, a visual language that resonates with individuality and wonder. Every illustration I create is a window into myself, unapologetically.

Being a character designer is a thrilling journey. I blend creativity and empathy to craft characters that resonate with audiences. It’s the opportunity to breathe life into a new world.
Aligning the narrative and target audience is what allows me to pay attention to every detail going into creating characters. Diverse representation and inclusivity is important to my goal, to seamlessly integrate my creations into the larger story.

This video includes:
● Multiple performance shots
● Several locations of filming
● Heightened quick-cuts
● Thematically haunting visuals
Foreign HandsSeparation Souvenir
(Music Video)
Shot on Nikon.
Co-Directed and Edited on Final Cut Pro.
This is the second video I worked on. This video also showcases my ability to color edit, cut, sync, and layer effects to create a nostalgic feel of the 90’s and early 2000’s.
This video includes:
● Multiple performance shots
● Several locations of filming
● Heightened quick-cuts
● Nostalgic rendering
Applying my knowledge of Video Editing, I decided to take it to the next level with creating Animation. All animation was created using Procreate, OpenToonz, and Final Cut Pro. (*Note: This is a work in progress)
Shown here is an example of applying multiplaning cameras in an animated still. The moon, forest, castle, and foreground are all moving independently to create a depth of field.
As we pull the forest closer and more into the frame, we draw the viewer's attention to the setting of the next scene.
Opening Scene for “1,000 Cuts” Animation (Work In Progress)
● 8-12fps
● Automated multiple opacities within layers while main animation is still active
● Camera dolly zoomed in for the eyes
● Added a glow layer to the eyes to soften the contrast
● 4-8 fps
● Lowered fps to create fast movements of twirling the sword in hand
● Automated fade to white
● Background repeats movement to emphasize the action
● 8-12fps
● Repeating background to display quick movement
● Slightly panned the character up (slowly) and down (quickly) to give more life into the action
● 12fps
● Created a layer and automated various opacities to create a slashing effect
● “Scratchy” effect on figure done by making 3-4 repeated cells
● Automated the figure to pan upwards
Here we have the different layers from the first scene displayed. All have been created to work in junction with each other, while working independently into their role.
Creating several background layers allow opportunities for seamless, smooth multipaning.
