YEARS: 2017–PRESENT
The Client: This is a personal brand of mine. I create content for children who need love, support, encouragement, and to be empowered to be their best selves. The main philosophy I explore with this work is “Choose who you’re going to be on purpose.”
Project Objective: There’s a lot of pain in the world, and while I can’t remove all of what’s creating it, I can definitely contribute beautiful things to help counterbalance it. The only way to counter darkness in the world is to cast light into the environment, and this collection of work represents some of what I’m doing to help with that effort.
This work includes comics, animations, character creation, and delightful products like cards, stickers, and posters.
My role on this project: Visual Design, Illustration, Writing, Animation, Voice Acting, Song Writing & more.

A Snufflebear Cartoon
This is my first cartoon. I wrote the script, made all the artwork, did most of the voice acting, recruited a few friends for additional voiceovers, wrote and recorded the soundtrack, and learned Adobe After Effects while animating it. It was a very involved, educational, and fulfilling project. :)

Cuteness & Pareidolia
I have pareidolia! This is a delightful li'l perceptual anomaly where one sees faces in random patterns and inanimate objects. I see faces and critters with personalities everywhere I go. It's something I enjoy, and pointing them out is a great way to share delight with others, too. :)
