    paper Creating and scoring a musical stage play

    I’ve been scripting and composing for a musical I’m making with some fellow theater enthusiasts. So far, I’ve written half the scenes, written about four songs (lyrics included!) and created some very enjoyable characters as well as an obscurely interesting world to put them in. It’s still a wip, but I hope to finish it soon!

    paper "Barely Adequate Heroes" Personal Series

    I’ve been developing my own post-apocalyptic fantasy series for about four-five years. I’ve written four different pilots (each of which is drastically different), developed at least three different versions of each character, and storyboarded over 300 panels. I’ve finally settled on the theme, and now I’m working on slowly and tediously bringing it to life.

    paper "Cat and Mouse" Freelance Project

    I received a commission on Fiverr to make a storyboard about a girl who gets shrunk by a mad scientist. It was a very whimsical and funny story and I loved the open communication with the client; it really helped us come to the final product quickly.
