As a multi-disciplinary designer, I seek to explore different ways to work and create, and enjoy learning new tools and mediums. Below are a few examples of work I've done outside of product design roles in the from of exhibited art, knitwear, and illustration.
Poison Tree, 2025 • wool, cotton, acrylic • 20 x 16 inches
Sold for $200 at Holland Project Galleries "ALL IN" Biennial Fundraiser. Artists were asked to donate pieces, all of which were priced at a flat rate of $100-$200, with many being worth much more - all proceeds from art sales went to support the Holland Project Gallery.
A watercolor-style illustration of the TOE LIBRARY HOTEL, a small building of boutique apartments (and now a cafe on the first floor) in Tokyo, Japan. It was the first place I stayed in when I visited, and my favorite.
A gig announcement poster for 44.caliberloveletter, a screamo band from Malmö, Sweden. Support from Wretched self, Thiscouldneverwork, and Foilsick at The Holland Project in Reno, NV.
A gouache painting of a scene from Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service. I began with a rough sketch based on the film, and used water-based gouache paints to fill the color and finishing linework. The piece itself was quite small, measuring only about 5.5 inches wide.
A test-knit for the "Checked Out Sweater" by Mouton Kints, a former knitwear pattern seller. I tested the draft for a size small sweater, and gave feedback and suggestions about the measurements and the technique used to bind off the collar, all of which made it into the final pattern when made available to the general public for purchase.
A test-knit for the "In Your Face Jumper" by brendamadethis, a knitwear pattern seller. I tested the draft for a size medium sweater, and gave feedback around time-to-completion and overall comprehensibility of the written pattern before it was made available to the general public for purchase.
