    2026 Illustration/Motion Design Reel
    This video reel includes illustrations that I completed for an educational animated series as well as motion graphics and branding for media projects of the same organization. Some pieces that I'm the proudest of include hand-drawn animations of bats and whales echolocating, and colorful cartoons for an animated children's series. I illustrated everything shown in this video, both the backgrounds and characters. animator motiondesign backgrounddesign characterdesign illustration
    Model Trains Market - Autumn 2021 Poster

    Back in 2020 I completed this project, which was part of a series of 4 seasonal posters for a model train company. I worked with the client to create a flat style, I provided options for the poster composition and I illustrated the entire scene with a high level of detail. This included a few rounds of a revisions from the Art Director. Although my style has changed and my work has developed since then, I still look back fondly on this project and the way it turned out!
