Nintendo X GenCon Mock Poster Assets -
Programs Used: Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, & Adobe Illustrator
I designed these for a class assignment where we were challenged to create interactive brand assets inspired by Milton Glaser's fonts and artwork! Following up the teaser announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, I made these posters in the context of a fake Switch 2 Exhibition at GenCon.
No Days Off For the Dream - Apparel Brand Designs + Mockup
Program Used: Procreate
I was commissioned by a family friend to create apparel mockups and assets for a fashion brand. The brand was themed around taking "No Days Off" when persuing entrepreneurial goals to achieve all that one may want when going for them. I was given full creative control and chose to depict in this simple illustration the fun that still remains in constantly tossing around passion projects in ones mind.

Programs Used: Procreate & Carrd
To the left is a little video that overviews how the final storefront looks! If you'd like to see the assets created below at work, by all means, watch it.
I decided to build a personal storefront for myself in my final Design Class using Carrd! This was a massive case study in designing brand elements, hand written typography, and utilizing product and print distributors I made accounts with to sell my art through! ACGGoods, Inprnt, and Ko-fi were chosen for physical products, prints, and digital products respectively.
Astraria's Heart: Visual Concept
Astraria's Heart: Visual + Character Exploration -
Programs Used: Procreate & Adobe Photoshop
I did these to explore a potential IP/Game concept where jaded courier, Sage, goes against the most powerful corporation in their world. I did some work laying out the world and some characters, but would like to retackle and reform aspects of this concept in the future.
