Hello! I’m Shaine and I recently graduated from SCAD where I studied Advertising with a concentration in Art Direction. At my core, I’m someone who just loves creating. A lot of my inspiration comes from movies, games, music, internet culture, and entertainment design. I’m drawn to work that feels cinematic, emotionally driven, and visually bold. Whether I’m illustrating, developing campaign concepts, or designing brand identities, I enjoy creating visuals that feel intentional and leave a lasting impression. Outside of advertising, I spend a lot of time exploring personal creative projects, experimenting with different styles, and pushing myself creatively. I love the process of turning ideas into full visual worlds and finding ways to blend strategy with strong artistic direction.
