ART COMMISSIONS
On my instagram and other social media channels, I take commissions from my followers, drawing their original characters and fan art concepts in both traditional and digital mediums. I work directly with my customers to illustrate their character’s personalities, props, costumes, and characteristics.
3D Character Design
Working in Blender and Unity, I created 3D character models for use in the VR game VRChat, managing the full pipeline from sculpting to final implementation. I optimized models through retopology, UV mapping, and texturing to meet real-time performance and VRChat technical requirements. In Unity, I integrated assets by setting up materials, shaders, and rigging for smooth animation and interaction. I focused on balancing visual quality with performance while iterating based on testing and feedback.
VAGARO
While interviewing for Varago Inc. I was tasked with creating a video highlighting their newest feature, Vagaro Form Builder. For this prompt under my own management, in a two day time period, I completed the following:
Researched the product and its primary functions and benefits.
Created a shot list for the video shoot and wrote the video script.
Worked with a videographer, directed lighting, camera placements, and acted in video.
Edited video including green screen effects, incorporating stock footage, screen captures, and original footage, and edited music and sound elements.
Animated text motion graphics.
Designed custom thumbnail
Uploaded to YouTube using YouTube creator best practices.
CRÉATIF
Worked on a short contract with local Art Studio Créatif before their grand opening to help launch their social channels.
Helped with their website design, shot and created photo, art, and video content. Scheduled out a month's worth of social posts with a focused aesthetic for them to continue to use after my contract ended.
Also assisted with helping their SEO, including setting up their Google Business and Yelp pages.
DREAM SAILOR
Illustrated the setting design for upcoming animated series “Dream Sailor”, due to premier on YouTube in 2021.
PERISCOPE SUMMIT
Designed logo for the community run Periscope Summit, a small convention held in New York City and San Francisco in 2015-16.
Assets were used for social channels including Facebook Cover photo, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook profile images, and the official Event page. These assets were also used for promotional banners at the convention, projections behind every panel discussion, on T-shirts, badges, and other official convention merchandise.
KITTEN GRENADE
Created all promotional art materials for my Indie pop-ukulele band Kitten Grenade. This includes album art and package design for the self titled album, art for the single release for "Gray" from that album, t-shrits and show posters. Work for this project also included images for Kitten Grenade’s social channels, as well as cover art for Kitten Grenade's sophmore album, "Nice Day".
