Custom Portraits
Outside of client work, I create digital portraits as a personal creative outlet. Painted in Photoshop and Procreate, each piece is rendered in a painterly style that blends digital tools with a hand-crafted feel. The subjects range from friends and family to celebrities, and many have been given as gifts, making them personal in both subject and purpose. It is the kind of work that keeps the joy of making something purely for the love of it alive.
Industrial Illustrations
For a training developed by WILL Interactive, I created a series of custom illustrations to elevate the visual experience of the course. Rather than relying on standard stock imagery, I felt that original artwork would make the program more engaging and ultimately more effective as a learning tool.
To ensure the illustrations felt authentic to the world of the workers going through the training, I developed each piece from reference photos taken on location at the industrial site where the program was filmed. That grounding in real environment and detail gave each image a sense of realism that generic visuals simply could not achieve. Each illustration was a time intensive process, requiring careful attention to detail, but the result is a set of images that go beyond decoration, adding visual depth and a genuine connection to the content they support.
Vector Portraits
These portraits were created in Adobe Illustrator, capturing likenesses through clean, stylized lines and a bold, modern aesthetic. Each piece is built entirely from vectors, a process that demands precision and a strong command of the pen tool.
Many of these pieces began as side projects early in my career and quietly grew into something more. What started as personal work eventually became a small freelance business, taking on commissions for portraits of friends, families, and pets. These projects hold a special place in my story as a designer. They were my first taste of sharing my art with others, and in many ways they laid the foundation for everything that followed, building the Illustrator skills and pen tool mastery that continue to inform my work today.
