My first illustrated take on Follow Friday! I love the photos from @kinjo.co - they are so beautiful and always make me miss Japan so much. This was illustrated from a beautiful photo in its feed.

Recent Work

I've neglected the blog a bit for the past couple months as I've taken time to evaluate my business and work on client projects that I wasn't able to immediately share.  Here is a quick update with some of my recent work!

A quick sketch from J. Crew's 2015 NYFW line up.

Added color to a tanabata drawing I made a while ago.

Updated logo for ICATCH (International Community Access to Child Health), a branch of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

A fun logo for Stuff't, a delicious, DC-based pizza roll company.
