Sydney, Australia

This is what I do when I am not working for clients, or in other words, side projects. I've created paintings that were featured in a solo art show. I create illustrations to share with the worldwide web. Animate silly shorts and lively gifs.

I was approached to make products for their acquired license, Ren & Stimpy. After submitting concepts and designs, a set of products were selected. Throughout the illustration and design phase, I worked closely with the Super7 team and the vendor, Viacom, to get a final product everyone was happy with.

I was approached to design a shirt for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles product launch. After working through some initial designs, I began illustrating the final artwork. After a few rounds of small revisions with the vendor and client, I made the final changes and delivered a design that everyone was excited about.

In need of graphics for their upcoming gaming platform, Giphy contacted me to conceptualize and design artwork for several games. After sharing a few ideas, I worked closely with the client to narrow the ideas down to our favorite three concepts. A fun challenge was to design all animations to seamlessly loop for the game's sprites as well as design.
