All of my ideas start in my sketchbook! I keep lists of ideas all over the place and random things will inspire me. Illustrations are created using alcohol markers, Posca Markers, and Micron Pens.

Inspired by traditional Japanese Daruma dolls, this illustration reimagines the iconic symbol of perseverance and good fortune through my own whimsical, creature-focused style. I wanted to preserve the spirit of resilience and determination that Daruma represents.

In a way my Daruma was me deciding to take myself seriously as an artist and committing to myself and making a life that I love and that is sustainable for me.

imonster
This illustrated instant camera was inspired by both my love of transforming everyday objects into playful creatures and the growing resurgence of analog photography. As more people embrace instant cameras and physical prints in an increasingly digital world, I wanted to capture the nostalgia and excitement of documenting memories in a tangible way. By reimagining a classic Polaroid-style camera as a friendly monster, the piece blends retro charm with whimsical character design, celebrating creativity, nostalgia, and the enduring appeal of analog experiences.

I wanted to bring the whimsies and nostalgia to the 3D by turning this design into a literal memory holder aka a photocard holder!
SummerWeen
I absolutely love Halloween and since watching Gravity Falls I agree- we can still celebrate in the middle of summer, it will just take on a more tropical yet spooky take! I created various designs in line with that in mind as well as a bit of nostalgia, because when you think of summer you think of being a kid.

Design Sketchs
I wanted to have enough variety in the designs that I could make patterns with them collectively or that each design would look great as a stand alone.
Scanned Designs
From here I was able to transform all of them into waterproof vinyl stickers and I am looking to expand this line into other patterned products!
Midnight Critter club
I, myself, have been a midnight critter my entire life. I've created this camp\scouts inspired line for all the critters you might catch in your trashcan at night or looking at you through a window.

Starting with the badges and a few other camp inspired illustrations, I was able to create a cute pattern that I was able to use while crafting various useful items!
