Terrible Things
Graduate School Project, 2019
I wanted to experiment with both relief printing and digital animation, and attempted to create a project that would combine the two. Inspired by Russian folklore and the concept of childhood memory, I first storyboarded an animation and then selected four frames that I thought I would be able to pull most of my animated assets from. Those frames were then revised, transferred to linoleum blocks, hand carved, and used to create relief prints. Once the prints were pulled I scanned them, digitized them, and used those digital assets to create the final animation in Adobe After Effects.
In addition to the four frames that I carved, I also created two small character studies that were printed in red and blue, then overprinted. I wanted to further tell the story, using the overprint to highlight a "transformation" between the sweet old lady in blue to the red witch.

Oracle Brewing Package Design
Student Work, 2018
Oracle Brewing is a fictional brewery I created for a 2018 package design class. Heavily inspired by paper cut illustration and mid-century aesthetics, I wanted to create a series of labels with a strong, visual identity that would stand out on a store shelf.

Arby's D&D Character Sheets
Our team was tasked with designing custom, playable Arby's themed Dungeons & Dragons style TTRPG character sheets. Copywriters on the team developed a story centering around the character Beefheart the Arbarian, and I was responsible for illustrating Beefheart and key elements of his tale. These spot illustrations were placed on custom character sheets, intended to look like sketches or doodles drawn by the person playing. In addition to the spot illustrations, I developed the layout and illustrative elements of the sheets themselves.
Arby's Boneless Buffalo Wings
Final Social Asset: Arby's Instagram
I was asked to illustrate fully developed storyboards for an Arby's Instagram reel highlighting their boneless buffalo wings. Each storyboard was designed so that it could easily be picked up by our animation team and used to create the final social media asset. For this task I was provided with the overarching story and rough concept sketches, and proceeded to develop the final artwork from there.
