Fairytale Zine Project 2022-2023

Joined a group of writers and artists to put together a magazine in which the profit will go towards charity. 

​

I was part of the merchandise team and created a design for a phone background and a physical print. Both of these pieces are attached to the left. 

Colorado Anime Fest 2023 Artist Alley

Created various merchandise, including stickers, keychains, and prints, that would appeal to the attendees of the convention.

​

All merchandise that was made was first drawn digitally then printed on either paper or sticker sheets, which I would then hand cut or in the case of the button, I would individually press every button. 

​

As for keychains, I sent the psd artwork to a manufacturer who when then make the keychains and ship them out to me. 

Vtuber Design & Brand: Rin Ambrose

Create the design and brand for the character, including 1 character sheet, 1 character turnaround, 1 background illustration, 2 character sprites, schedule post design, 1 profile picture, and 1 rig-ready Photoshop doc for the model.
