Demo Reel
Travelling Show
(Senior Short Film)
This was a 2023 senior film project created during my final year at Emily Carr University of Art + Design as a part of my Bachelor of Media Arts degree program.
I directed, wrote, storyboarded, designed, animated, composited, and edited the entire film with some assistance with layout art/prop design. It was a big undertaking with a limited time frame but it is a project I am very proud to have created with the support of my teachers and the ECUAD animation faculty who I am grateful to have received feedback from during the production.
Art & Design
Rainy Village is a children’s series concept that I had developed featuring little berry creatures learning how to navigate social situations and friendships!
Inspired by many endearing series like Moomin, Care Bears, and Miffy.
OMGPop! (Outlaw Motorcycle Gang) is an adult cartoon concept I had developed about a spoiled young guy who has to move to a shady, biker gang-ridden part of town and must navigate young adulthood in his intimidating new home!
Inspired by shows/movies I love like Mission Hill, Powerpuff Girls, Kill Bill, and Scott Pilgrim.
I created lots of design notes and guides for production assistants to follow.
Character design work done for Bacon Skateboards. The featured skaters gave input on the mascots they wanted to represent them and I applied these ideas into my designs that were intended for use on the company’s skate decks.
Vanille Créme Bunny is a Vtuber persona that I created the design for. The aesthetics of the character’s story video are intended to look similar to a Nintendo DS game circa 2006 and feature somewhat pixelated anime-esque graphics common during that timeframe.
Character designs created for AniMirai’s mascots to be used in promotional materials. The concept we settled on as a team was a duo where one girl is a J-Idol and the other is her #1 fan. I tried to do something a bit unconventional for what is typically seen in anime organization mascots by adding small things like undereye bags and glasses to the character while the idol has a more expected appearance.
Style Studies/Fan Works
I enjoy doing style studies and testing my abilities to replicate brush styles, colour sensibilities, motifs, and other aspects of character and prop designs! I also have fun adapting characters into my own style or other styles as well.
Here I have a collection of these fun, skill-building projects!
