    Clean, high quality, vector splash illustrations for a beloved local brewery.

    Silhouette CAMEO 5

    This double-sided sweater graphic was designed, cut and applied as an experiment with Heat Transfer Vinyl. After looking to expand my output options at home, and working with vinyl at my job, I purchased a Silhouette CAMEO 5 plotter.

    This purchase let me experiment with my output in a way that wasn’t possible before, expanding my skillset and giving me control over the entire production process.

    The goal for this design was to share a positive and inclusive message in a clean, wearable and appealing way. I wanted to spread kindness in a vintage, nostalgic and friendly typeface that could encourage others and cater to my own sense of style.

    Moondoggy Shirt Designs

    Laid-back apparel designs to promote the release of the Toronto-based indie rock group’s debut and sophomore albums

    Client Work
    Adobe Illustrator

    The goal of these projects was to develop T-shirt designs to coincide with the releases of the indie rock band Moondoggy’s 2023 debut album Mad and Noisy, and their 2026 follow-up album Around the Fire.

    Both shirts feature campground and wilderness inspired designs that reflect the laid-back and nostalgic sounds of their respective albums, paying homage to the band’s hometown of Collingwood, ON.

    These designs build off of the existing branding for each album, as both were designed after the album cover art had been created, but before the full albums had been released.

    The sound of the pre-release singles also influenced the direction of each shirt’s aesthetics.

    Playing Cards

    A colourful deck of playing cards with quirky designs steeped in tradition

    Personal Project
    Adobe Illustrator

    These cards were designed as a pet project in the early weeks of the COVID-19 Pandemic, where one face card was designed each day over the course of several weeks.

    The goal of this set was to create symmetrical designs in a consistent art style that could pay homage to the traditional interpretations of playing card art.

    Each suit was designed with a distinct colour palette and theme, tying in the four classical elements and the societal classes of medieval times.

    The Clubs were designed after woodland creatures and the element of Earth, symbolizing the peasant class through their humble, muted and pastoral designs.

    The Hearts were based on sailors, sea life and the element of Water, representing the clergy through superstition and mythos.

    The Diamonds were designed after birds, resort life, and the element of Air, representing merchants through their lavish lifestyle.

    The Spades were designed after classical depictions of the underworld and the element of Fire, representing nobility through their stern stances. The Ace of Spades is also known as the “Death Card”.

    The Jokers are based on classic depictions of the moon from Georges Méliès’ silent films “A Trip to the Moon” (1902) and “The Astronomer’s Dream” (1898).

    In the Summer of 2024, these cards were printed in a limited run on Matte Linen Cardstock.

    Book One: “Trials”

    Cover design & illustration for the first novel in a high-fantasy vampire trilogy

    Blood-Red Eyes is a dark fantasy series released independently by L. Laszlo Mady, which centres on a world of unique magical cultures and the dark, vampiric underbelly which controls it from the shadows.

    The cover for “Trials”, the first book, was commissioned directly by the author, who provided the series logo, a basic sketch of the cover, and requested the use of yellow as the primary colour.

    The goal was to create a visually striking and conceptual image using the sketch provided, as many details from the novel were still being developed during the illustration process. Being able to iterate and expand on these loose or implicit descriptions was a key skill relevant to this project.

    The book was officially published on July 20, 2021 on Amazon.

    This project also involved licensing fonts, client presentations and reformatting the design for a variety of dimensions. As the first book in the series, it was also important to consider brand development and to plan ahead for the rest of the series’ artwork going forward.

    ▲ A collection of designs all making reference to the brewery, pizza stand, and surrounding area with alternate versions to keep things interesting!

    The goal of this project was to create a series of splash illustrations to decorate the pagers at Steel Wheel Brewery in Brant, ON.

    These pagers are given to clients at the brewery’s pizza stand, and were designed to be light-hearted, visually cohesive, and consistent with the existing branding, adding to the laid-back, relaxed and charming atmosphere of the brewery.

    Several of the illustrations make reference to the unique and iconic elements of the brewery, including the on-site hop farm and chicken coop, the brewery’s railroad theme, and specific topping combinations highlighted on the menu.
