    Free Falling Illustration
    This digital illustration is a still from an animated narrative developed during my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. The image depicts a layman doll—an object commonly used in art education to teach figure drawing and human proportion—captured in a moment of free fall through an open sky. The piece emerged from a fictional story imagining the layman doll coming to life and becoming conscious of its role within a classroom environment. In this narrative, the doll experiences being bent, twisted, and manipulated by students into various poses, transforming a familiar instructional tool into a character with vulnerability and agency. The act of falling serves as both a literal and metaphorical device, representing loss of control, disorientation, and the tension between objecthood and autonomy. As part of a larger animation project, this still reflects my focus on visual storytelling, character development, and the use of symbolic imagery to convey emotion. The work demonstrates my ability to build narrative through illustration, drawing meaning from everyday educational objects and recontextualizing them within a conceptual and emotional framework.
    Educator's Protest Paintings
    This freelance project for the Michigan Education Association (MEA) consists of two large-scale digital paintings advocating for teachers’ rights and collective action. Each piece documents moments of organized protest, highlighting the strength, unity, and visibility of educators fighting for fair treatment and systemic change. One painting depicts a march on the Michigan State Capitol, capturing the momentum and resolve of educators gathered at the seat of state governance. The second illustrates a protest parade in Wyandotte, Michigan, emphasizing community presence and grassroots activism at a local level. Together, the works reflect both the масштаб and intimacy of educator-led movements across the state. Printed at an immersive scale of 8.5 × 11 feet, these works were designed to command physical space and reinforce the power of collective voices. Both paintings are currently installed in an MEA office, where they serve as permanent visual statements of advocacy, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for educators’ rights

    Mot, a children's book about Dyslexia
    Mot is a children’s chapter book written by Tom Wiltse and loosely inspired by his experiences growing up with dyslexia. I illustrated the full exterior of the book—cover, spine, and back—developing a visual narrative that reflects the emotional and developmental journey at the heart of the story. The front cover features the main character’s shadow cast against the wall of an elementary school. The shadow subtly shifts in form and scale, representing different stages of life and the evolving experience of growing up with dyslexia. Rather than depicting the character directly, the use of shadow serves as a metaphor for identity, struggle, and growth—elements that are present but not always visibly understood. The back cover shows a kite caught in a tree, offering a quiet visual preview of one of the book’s stories. This image reinforces themes of childhood, persistence, and moments of frustration balanced with curiosity and hope. Together, the illustrations aim to support the book’s narrative with warmth and sensitivity, inviting young readers into Mot’s world while honoring the author’s personal history.
