Recycle & Die
An illustrative exploration reveals the deceptive narrative sold to us by plastic companies: the idea that recycling will effectively benefit our planet. However, this notion masks a troubling reality—it serves as a ploy to perpetuate the cycle of production and pollution, ultimately exacerbating our planet.

Climbing Out
For some, climbing out of 2020 feels like this… carefully ascending out of a hole, while perhaps navigating loss of a loved one, a job, anxiety, depression, long covid. Wishing all a good year of hope and renewal. As Ian Maclaren wisely stated, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

Lost Privacy
Illustrative concepts exploring technology, who owns our data, loss of privacy, and our mental health. Technology (specifically the smallish computer in your pocket) has been a wonderful tool for us. But, they also have been used unethically for data collection, observation of dark patterns, and social network disinformation campaigns. Like warning signs located on products that are dangerous for us, should we do the same for technology products?

Crow & Pitcher
This weekend I read several fables by Aesop to my kids. One of the fables, The Crow & the Pitcher draws a relationship between problem-solving and wit (critical thinking), and perseverance. Within my own practice of strategic visual communication, these two attributes are critical in the process of developing and building brands. Without it, the ability to perceive, create and innovate is deprived.

Nook Real Estate
Nook Real Estate, nestled in the heart of Newport Beach, California, epitomizes modernity in the realm of real estate. With a team of astute industry leaders, they specialize in handpicking lifestyle properties that captivate discerning buyers. I've was hired by Nook to craft simple illustrations showcasing the diverse architectural styles of California, enriching their marketing arsenal with visual allure.

Employing my minimalist illustrative approach, I visually captured 20 distinct architectural styles. These illustrations were subsequently compiled into a poster, presenting a comprehensive showcase of the diverse spectrum of architectural designs found in Newport Beach, California.
