About

Hello! I am a passionate 2D illustrator specializing in the expressive worlds of anime, manga, and comics. With a BFA in Pictorial Arts, I bring a unique blend of traditional art discipline and modern digital expertise to every project. My work is 100% human-made and infused with a love for storytelling. I’ve managed complex projects from start to finish, including independently curating and installing my senior BFA show, and I have a proven ability to solve technical challenges, as demonstrated by my custom-coded portfolio website. I am ready to bring my versatile skill set and authentic style to your next creative project. Let’s make something amazing together!

Project Summary: This site was a personal challenge I decided to take on: creating a fully custom portfolio website designed to reflect my unique artistic style and technical abilities. The result is a site that simulates a desktop OS on desktop devices and adapts to a mobile OS for mobile users, providing a highly engaging and personalized user experience. The site is not only functional, but is designed to act as a constantly evolving work of art to add to my portfolio, while hosting my artistic portfolio itself. My Role: I was the sole developer and designer for this project. Key Points: Designed the full UX and UI to simulate a functional desktop and mobile operating system Wrote all front-end code from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and jQuery) Implemented responsive design principles to ensure a seamless experience across all devices Added creative coding elements and interactive features (such as movable and resizable windows on desktop, and an app drawer on mobile) to showcase my artistic skills Integrated my own artwork and illustrations to create a unique and personal mood and aesthetic View the website here: https://www.twine.net/signin webdesign designer HTML CSS JS art artist digitalart illustrator graphicdesigner
