    This project was made for a friend's birthday as a gift. It was printed on a 20x30 poster and framed.

  • U Jelly?
    This project was very fun to make. I wanted a new vector illustration that could combine my quirky character design with something a little more mature.

  • Layer56 Business Card
    A business card is much more professional then jotting down your email on a napkin. Here's mine!

  • Ninja Viking
    I designed this character for a friend of mine who needed an avatar for his gamer tag. He wanted a ninja-viking crossover, so I did the best I could while still bearing resemblance to him!

  • Wind Mobile Logo
    I have never really found Wind Mobile's logo to be effective or appealing so I decided to make my own version! I decided to use a kite-like object as a logo to symbolize Wind's easy-going image while adding sharp edges for a more sophisticated look.

  • What's on your mind?
    I had this idea that was best transformed into a vector. I wanted to illustrate my vision of the human mind's invisible forces and electricity. I've always held a great interest in how the mind works and reacts to everyday life.

    Silly ideas still require good execution, there really is no deep meaning to this vector, and yet it remains one of my favourites, regardless of it's simplicity.

  • Portfolio V2
    Sometimes the most difficult work is the work that you do for yourself. I have redesigned Layer56 several times before I finally decided on a completely fresh layout. Here is one of my Layer56 layouts which may not have ended up becoming my website, but should not be neglected and deserves a showcase!

    The layout was based on an accordion-style menu using Javascript where I was planning on putting all of my content on the same page.

  • Vivian's Gift Ideas logo
    This logo was designed for a freelance client who wanted her small brand to have a more professional identity. This client specializes in creating custom cakes, candies and party favours. She has a feminine image and I wanted to reflect her work's cheerful nature while symbolizing her line of work.

  • SKateboard Design
    This was one of my few school projects that I kept in my portfolio. It may not be the newest but I'm still very proud of it! I ended up giving the printed skateboard to my little brother as a gift :)
