Hi Bluesky! Obligatory pinned intro post :)

I'm a full-time graphic & product designer with illustration skills! I want to be more involved in the #indiegame and #design communities as I'm starting to make my own games alongside my dev partner and other art/design side projects.

Happy to be here!
I don't typically post about my pokemon pack ripping but... Had to share this one 🥹🙏🏻💖✨

I am SO tired of everything being a subscription... I saw an ad for an app that just helps you clean up your photos (swipe left to delete, right to keep) and it had a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION????

I hate what we've become.

Grading final submissions from a half-semester class and I totally screwed myself over with giving them two project options but I think the results were worth it at least 🥲 grading these will indeed take forever

I stayed up too late and woke up to feel the consequences. A harsh reminder of how I have grown WEAK in times of peace

Working for news

Pro: you're up to date

Con: you cannot stop being up to date and you know what sometimes maybe I should take a break from being up to date

It's been a while since I posted art stuff, so here's my most recent style exploration for a card game I keep working on and off on. I've basically been redrawing this card over and over in different styles to try and figure something out that I'm happy with lol #illustration #art #workinprogress

Interactive design project capstone class planned and almost ready. Just gotta figure out the grading scale and put it in canvas and we roll out Monday 😎

I have thought of ANOTHER project... Unrelated to my full time job, the adjunct class I'm teaching this fall, and the game design course I'm taking.

And yes, I will spend time planning it as if I have time for it lolol

Taking the Epic Games Coursera Game Design course 👀 hoping for a good summary/lay of the land of game design and how my graphic design, illustration, and UX/UI skills can apply to games ✨

Been recovering from a wisdom teeth pull this past week and just woke up to take more pain meds. I'm so ready for this to be overrrrr but I'm glad I took last week off! Clocked in so many hours on persona 5 royal, too 😁

Some doodles last night using a new brush. Left is an attempt at proportions I'd use for children's illustration and the right is Lomi :)

For some reason I did a lot today and it was really good! Played some mariomon, went grocery, got a nice boba treat, worked on my game and set up some much needed templates, chatted with friends, took a shower... Just overall feeling good with how today went

I forgot to post a head drawing exercise thing I did... I definitely suffer from not thinking super hard about unique face features so this was a good idea to help break out of that a little!

While I'm here can someone explain the phenomenon of always needing to pee before a meeting -_- so inconvenient
April 24, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Hiiii I've been SWAMPED but I did a thing last night that was fun and thought I'd share :)

Next time I'll have to either be better about my markers on this paper or try a different material...

Went to my first Meetup! It was a casual free draw session and it was so fun!! I was there for like a whole half day and got SO much work done for the card game I keep spiraling on...

A reminder that I will enjoy myself when I get to an event even if I'm nervous to meet new people 🙂‍↕️

Weekend trip to Austin to have a little fun and see Caleb Hearon! Exciting!! Aiming to have Franklin bbq and get goodies at kinokuniya but uh that's kinda it so far lol

Sometimes I think "man if I actually knew how to draw I'd be unstoppable"

We're training the cats for collars and he is sulking next to me to remind me that I have wronged him

Fields of mistria is the exact escape from reality I needed tonight

But also like what if I just lived alone as a hermit farmer somewhere lol
