Last week, I updated my #illustration and #typography course materials and came across Designing Type by Karen Cheng, a great find for both new and experienced designers. Highly recommend! This is an illustration I created for the DesCan Journal descan.ca

Over the past few months, I’ve been restructuring my career, shifting from FT self-employment to a new role as an Assistant Professor (Teaching). Now that things are gradually settling into place, I look forward to sharing more about this transition and what it means for my practice and teaching.

Happy first day of spring! 🌼 Today, I’m revisiting my City Pollinators illustration from last year, which was featured in the International Poster Biennial in Mexico A.C. It’s a reminder of the beauty of nature and the importance of supporting pollinators. buff.ly/4gk8c99

Another #illustration was revived from my archives—this one was created for the Government of Alberta! Here’s a look at both the sketch and the final piece.

What do you think?

Going through my archives, I rediscovered this identity and visual elements I created for @ucalgary! Loved working on this project.

Here are some final pieces, sketches, and proposals. If you have something in mind, let’s chat! ✨ #illustration #design

Just came across this very old #illustration—almost 10 years ago! This piece was created for Kiplinger’s Financial Magazine. My style has definitely evolved quite a bit since then. #editorial

Illustrated spread from THE KING OF BOOKS, by Gina Perry (July '25, Feiwel and Friends, Macmillan). A tiger with a crown is ROARING at a small wild boar with a bowl of soup, spoon, and book flying off to the side. Text reads ROAR! "Who dares to interrupt the King?!"

Here’s a still look at my animated poster, which I was honoured to have featured last year at the International Poster Biennial in Mexico A.C. This work highlights the importance of pollinators and the ways we can support their environment.

Nighttime illustration of a boy wearing green, blue, and white striped pyjamas sitting on a desk and holding the head of teddy bear who is sat next to him. There is a book about space on the desk next to them, as well as a toy rocket and a cup filled with pens, brushes, and pencils. They are sitting in front of a large window, through which we can see the night sky and the Ursa Major constellation.

For the first time ever I’ve been working on a Christmassy book in the festive season! Here’s a little sneaky peek as I sign off for the holidays and wish all who celebrate it a very Merry Christmas.
