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.

Protected Pack Playing Cards
Press: Alumni Collaboration for a Cause
Kickstarter: Protected Pack Kickstarter
During the pandemic, myself and five other Chatham University alumni banded together to work on a project. Initially we were looking to connect and work on something creative at a time when the world seemed a little crazy, and through many ideation sessions, Protected Pack was developed. We designed and successfully funded via Kickstarter a fully illustrated deck of playing cards that featured endangered plants, animals, and insects. We were featured as one of Kickstarter's "Projects we Love" and were able to successfully produce and fulfill all of our backer orders. My primary role was illustrating several animals, plants, and insects featured.
