Fun
Not every project starts with a brief. Some start with a feeling a texture, a reference, a craving for something expressive. This is the other side of my practice: illustrations made for clients, for culture, and for myself. Tote bags, watercolors, fan art, merch no rules, just craft.

Challenge
Design work lives inside systems, grids, brand guidelines, user flows. As much as I love that structure, there's a creative muscle that only gets exercised when there are no constraints. Without a space for free expression, design can start to feel mechanical. This section exists because I needed somewhere to just draw.
Solution
I've taken on a mix of illustration projects some commissioned, some self-initiated across formats like tote bag graphics, watercolor paintings, merch designs, and fan art. Each piece gets the same attention as any client project, but with full creative ownership. Whether it's a Pacifico-inspired watercolor or a concert tee concept, the goal is always the same: make something that feels alive.
Impact
These pieces have reinforced my eye for detail, pushed my range as a visual communicator, and kept design feeling exciting. A few have been produced and worn, used, or shared out in the world which, honestly, is one of the best feelings a designer can have.
