ROLE -> Illustrator + Product Designer
These pieces sit at the intersection of illustration, design, and personality. Some were created for friends’ small businesses, others for design contests or just for fun. Each one reflects a distinct tone or subculture, from tongue-in-cheek metal aesthetics to expressive character-driven design. The throughline is craft, clarity, and a sense of play.
Petalheads
END-OF-SEASON MERCH DROP
VALLEJO STREET DAHLIAS 2025
-
Designed for a friend’s dahlia farm, this shirt was made for the loyal crew who help clear the fields at the end of each flower season. He coined them the “Petalheads” and wanted something fun and gritty to gift them.
The client wanted it to reflect the “Rat Fink” style, by Ed Roth. I studied the exaggerated, expressive look and applied it to this one-off design. I created both light and dark versions, each hand-built for its specific format.
A joyful and funky tribute to the grimiest part of flower farming.

WORLD WIDE WEB DESIGN CHALLENGE
RAW PAW PRINT STUDIO 2025
-
Created for an online design contest hosted by Raw Paw Collective, this shirt was my take on the prompt “World Wide Web.” I leaned into a mix of internet nostalgia, heavy metal energy, and weird character design. Channeling the chaotic spirit of early tech with a playful, possessed edge. It was a chance to experiment stylistically and have fun pushing the tone a little further than usual.

CITY-WIDE SERVICE DAY VOLUNTEER SHIRTS
BEAUTIFUL DAY 2023
-
Beautiful Day is a city-wide volunteer initiative. In 2023, following a leadership transition, we aimed to reenergize the campaign with a lighthearted tone. I created “Dipper the Paint Can” as a playful mascot tied to the year's theme, drawing on the rising rubber hose cartoon trend.
For flexibility, we also offered a simplified alternate shirt design, giving volunteers the option to choose their preferred look.
