Illustration
I create playful, expressive illustrations that bring ideas, stories, and brands to life. My work spans hand-drawn illustration, character design, editorial storytelling, and illustration for merchandise, apparel, campaigns, and marketing materials. I enjoy combining creativity and visual storytelling to create artwork that feels distinctive, engaging, and memorable.
Ignite Seattle — 20th Anniversary
Editorial Illustration & Visual Storytelling
To celebrate 20 years of Ignite Seattle, I created a hand-drawn illustration series inspired by 10–15 memorable talks from the event's history.
Each five-minute presentation was distilled into a symbolic visual narrative, translating complex ideas, personal stories, and moments of inspiration into expressive illustrations. The series captures the energy and creativity of Ignite's fast-paced format while creating a visual archive of the ideas and people that have shaped two decades of the event.
The completed illustration series was brought together as a commemorative tote bag, giving attendees a tangible way to celebrate Ignite Seattle's history and carry its spirit of curiosity, creativity, and connection beyond the event.

Vietnam Travel Sketchbook
A collection of hand-drawn sketches inspired by travels throughout Vietnam, capturing the country's vibrant culture, architecture, landscapes, and everyday moments. Created on location and refined from travel observations, each illustration explores the beauty found in local details—from bustling street scenes and historic landmarks to quiet cafés and natural scenery. This ongoing personal project celebrates the joy of slow travel while documenting meaningful experiences through illustration and visual storytelling.
