Cotton Anniversary Tattoos
Personal Character Design Project, 2018.

Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Fresco.

To commemorate our second wedding anniversary, I designed this pair of tattoos for my wife and me. Inspired by the traditional 'cotton anniversary' symbolizing durability and comfort, I created these eerie yet endearing stuffed animals as complementary designs. They capture both our love for the spooky and the sentimental—perfectly reflecting the unique bond we share.

Boo-tiful Pride Ghost
Halloween Character Design, 2024.

This spooky yet adorable ghost was designed for the Euphoria Threads Halloween collection in 2024. Capturing the spirit of both pride and Halloween, this charming character proudly sports socks in the vibrant colors of the Progress Pride flag. Perfect for spooky season lovers, this design seamlessly blends festive fun with LGBTQIA+ representation. This design was used for social media, holographic stickers, and tees.

CANDY MONSTERS

Board Game Character Design Concept, 2016.

For this project, I brought a sugary-sweet nightmare to life—a wild crew of candy monster characters for a board game concept! The client wanted whimsical, fun, and totally out-of-this-world creatures, each made entirely of different types of candy.

Challenge accepted! I designed these characters by blending the playful charm of candy with the mischievous, slightly spooky vibes of monsters. Each one has a unique personality, a little bit of monster magic, and a whole lot of sugar-fueled fun!
