Art Director & Illustrator
Independent creative studio focused on brand identity and visual storytelling for authors, musicians, and local food entrepreneurs. I build complete visual worlds — logo systems, palettes, typography pairings, packaging mockups, and social media templates — rooted in narrative rather than corporate formulas.
Studio activity
A running record of projects in progress, shipped identities, and the occasional behind-the-scenes thought from the desk.

Art direction · Templates
Built a flexible social media template system for a ceramic studio. Editorial layouts with generous white space, letting process shots and material textures carry the narrative.

Creative direction · Guidelines
A modular logo system built to move across posters, stage screens, and merch. Burnt orange against deep forest green, echoing the coastal setting without leaning on clichés.
