A glimpse into some of my recent work…

I am thrilled to be this year's artist for The Alaska State Fair. It's an honor to contribute to an event that celebrates the unique culture and heritage of Alaska. My design captures the spirit of this year’s theme, 'Enjoy the Ride,' showcasing the animals on their joyful journey before their big show.

Branding is at the heart of what I do. It's about creating a recognizable and consistent visual identity, then bringing it to life.
