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 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.

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

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 ✨

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!

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 🙂↕️
