Work Experience

Assets Game Designer at Balloon Labs
June 1, 2026 - Present
Creating game assets is not only about making something look good — it is about making an idea instantly understandable. In my current work, I create **custom 2D vector assets and illustrations for a hidden-object mobile game**, covering everything from buildings, vehicles, food, cultural objects, landmarks, and environmental props to unique collectible items. A big part of the work is understanding the identity behind each location. I research local culture, architecture, traditions, and everyday objects, then translate those references into **simple, playful, and highly recognizable illustrations** that fit naturally into the game world. Each asset is carefully designed around the game’s visual language — with clear silhouettes, strong shapes, readable details, and consistent proportions — so players can recognize an object even at a small size. The project involves creating assets for different countries and regions, which means every new location brings a different visual challenge. The goal is always the same: **make the world feel authentic, visually engaging, and fun to explore while keeping the artwork consistent as one cohesive game experience.**

    Custom 2D Game Assets & Vector Illustration for a Game
    I create custom 2D game assets and vector illustrations for a hidden-object mobile game, helping bring different locations, cultures, and stories to life through playful and highly recognizable visuals. The project involves creating a wide range of assets — from buildings, vehicles, food, landmarks, and cultural objects to smaller props and collectible items. Each asset is designed to be visually engaging while remaining easy for players to recognize, even at a small scale. One of the most interesting parts of this work is translating the identity of different countries and regions into a consistent game art style. I research local culture, architecture, traditions, and everyday objects, then turn those references into illustrations that feel authentic while still fitting naturally into the game world. Every asset is carefully developed with clear silhouettes, strong shapes, readable details, and consistent proportions. The challenge is finding the right balance between cultural authenticity, visual appeal, and gameplay readability. The result is a growing visual library that allows players to explore the world through objects that are not only fun to discover, but also meaningful to the places they represent.

    T-Shirt & Merch Illustration Design

    A great T-shirt design should feel like more than just something printed on fabric. It should give people a reason to notice it, wear it, and remember the brand behind it.

    This project focuses on creating fully custom, hand-drawn illustrations that help turn ordinary apparel into something more distinctive and premium.

    Every illustration is created from scratch and developed around the client’s vision, whether they already have a clear concept or need help turning an idea into a strong visual. I take the time to understand the story, personality, and audience behind each design, so the final artwork feels intentional rather than generic.

    The goal is simple: create artwork that makes the merchandise feel more special and gives the brand a stronger visual identity.

    Each illustration is custom-made for the client, with typical project costs ranging from $30–$100 per illustration, depending on the complexity and creative direction.

    childern book illustration

    This project focuses on creating a vibrant and whimsical visual world for young readers. My goal was to translate complex narratives into approachable and engaging illustrations that spark curiosity. By blending playful color palettes with expressive character designs, I aimed to create a bridge between the written word and a child’s imagination, ensuring each page feels like a new discovery.

    Key Highlights:

    Visual Storytelling: Creating a cohesive atmosphere that follows the story’s emotional rhythm.

    Child-Centric Design: Using soft shapes and inviting colors to ensure the content is relatable and “safe” for children.
