The Princess and the Frog
I animated this short sequence of a princess and her frog sidekick as an experiment in storytelling and simple motion. I wanted to convey the vibe of their friendship in as few shots as possible.
Science Friday Live 2025
Because of the success of the Cannavan editorial illustration I did for Science Friday the previous May, when Senior Manager of Experiences Diana Plasker wanted to evolve the look and feel for the Science Friday Live event branding in a more illustrative direction, she emailed me. I was assigned two cities—Salt Lake City, UT and Columbia, MO—and tasked with playfully depicting the science that happens in each in order to promote Science Friday’s live event for potential audiences.
Creative Black Women In History You Should Know
To celebrate Black History Month 2023, I created assets for an Instagram random selector filter prompting users to learn about underappreciated Black women historical figures on the @HelloSunshine handle, which has a following of about 1M. “Creative Black Women In History You Should Know” highlights six women—Alice Allison Dunnigan, Cicely Tyson, Harriet E. Wilson, Hazel Scott, Della Reese, and Dana Canedy—all who have made important contributions but who I knew nothing about at the start of this project.
Commuters

New York 2098
Playwright Kaley Roth Mamo commissioned me to create a poster for her one-act play, New York 2098, which was running at the Secret Theatre as part of the 2024 Queens Short Play Festival. The story is about two teenaged students in the year 2098 who get trapped in a classroom as their Manhattan high school sinks underwater.
Rat Skate Video
I designed and animated the eponymous rat for Ivan Lagos’s skate video “RAT” that came out on Halloween 2023. This project was a creative collaboration between myself and the skater who provided art direction for the piece. The full video is linked below.
Debtworld
I pitched several concepts to WWDN, a taskforce whose mission was to inform Gen Z about the growing crisis of the American national debt. The approved idea, Debtworld, is a portrait of a place where the projected changes brought on by our astronomically increasing national debt are wrecking havoc—social security has dried up and there’s no money available for civic projects like road maintenance or disaster relief from oncoming climate change. The project unfortunately did not end up launching but the illustrations I did for it were influential in the development of my creative sensibility.
Amy Muller’s Vital Signs
Comedian Amy Muller commissioned me for her 2024 ProjectorFest entry, Vital Signs, to make the accompanying animations that would go on-screen. The 30-minute live show was based off her collection of weird and unusual signs she’d seen across America and my job was help her visualize the scenarios that might’ve led up to their installations. I had so much fun with this project!
Reese’s Book Club x Blue Buffalo
I had the honor of drawing a set of dogs for a Reese's Book Club x Blue Buffalo dog personality quiz. This was an early foray into drawing completely in Adobe Illustrator for me, as I've always preferred to draw by hand, but it was a fun experiment and learning opportunity!
Science Friday Cannavan
I was approached by digital producer Emma Lee Gometz to create an editorial illustration to accompany a news article they were writing on a mobile cannabis research van. The objective of my design was to visualize how the van allowed researchers to “cut through the red tape” and make groundbreaking scientific discoveries faster, while also emphasizing the positive relationship between cannabis and science.
Animals Holding Their Babies
While watching a nature documentary about elephants, I noticed that not all animals can anatomically pick up and hold their babies—to carry them while they’re on the move, to protect them from danger, or even just to cuddle with them. This observation prompted an illo series consisting of four animals who cannot hold their babies, holding their babies in tender embraces.
The Bright Side Podcast
In my capacity as a graphic designer for Hello Sunshine, I had the honor of designing the cover art for its first podcast, The Bright Side. We wanted something bright and eye-catching—something that would cut through the noise of the podcast section and bring positivity and light to listeners’ days.
Sign of the Dog
I ran this illustration series for three weeks on my blog, Enrichment Activities, titled Sign of the Dog. It features three illustrations of various dogs posing with signs that refer to them.
Reese’s Book Club May 2024 Gift of Reading Tote Bag
I designed this tote bag for the Reese’s Book Club Gift of Reading for Mother’s Day 2024. It was a fun merch moment on a very high-quality canvas bag with wide straps and a horizontal orientation (as a tote bag snob myself, I love that it has differentiators like this—much more likely to be reached for in the pile of tote bags everyone already owns). I’m happy to report that the gift box sold out!
Reese’s Book Club Chats
A few weeks after a new Reese’s Book Club Pick is announced, the brand’s official handle puts up a post prompting the community to talk about the book together in something called a Reese’s Book Club Chat. These monthly comment section discussions put the “Book Club” in “Reese’s Book Club” and is a cute way for followers to connect with each other. I designed the logo, adding a fun flourish to the existing wordmark in a handwritten curly script.
Alphaholics Anonymous Podcast
I was commissioned by a finance podcast to create cover art depicting “Wall Street Chaos.” The podcast never ended up getting launched but this was still a fun prompt to respond to and I think the illustration turned out really cute.
The Apology Paperback Tour
Graphic set commission for the writer Jimin Han (who is my mom) for the paperback book tour of her sophomore novel, The Apology, published by Little, Brown in 2023.
