Illustrations
This collection showcases a series of digital illustrations created during my Illustration class at Stockton University in 2025. Each piece reflects experimentation with digital tools and techniques, highlighting my growth in visual storytelling, composition, and stylistic range through digital media.
Directed Attention Series
This set of digital illustrations was created as an exercise in directed attention through composition. Each piece guides the viewer’s eye with intentional use of color, contrast, and spatial relationships to emphasize focal points and narrative tension within a minimalistic style.
Character Design - Pop Art
These four character designs are based on Joe Hill’s short story ‘Pop Art’, which follows the unlikely friendship between a troubled boy and his inflatable, silent best friend, Art. The designs reflect the story’s blend of melancholy, imagination, and emotional connection, bringing its unique characters to life through visual interpretation.
Cathay Visualizations
This collection of four digital illustrations is inspired by Steven Millhauser’s short story Cathay. Each piece draws from the story’s vivid and fantastical imagery, using a watercolor-like texture to evoke the dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere that defines the narrative.
Modern Love
Inspired by the New York Times Modern Love essay My 11-Year Relationship That Never Happened, this illustration plays with the story’s themes of imagined intimacy and delusion. Conversation hearts are reimagined as anti-psychotic pills, creating a kitschy yet poignant visual that reflects the surreal, bittersweet nature of a decade-long episode.
This black-and-white illustration was created as an exercise in practicing depth of field without the use of color. Through contrast, line weight, and value, the piece explores how spatial relationships and focal points can be effectively conveyed using only monochrome elements.
