Nova is an original character for an ongoing personal project about characters in a magical fantasy academy. She is a problematic wealthy aristocrat who comes across as abrasive to those who don't stick around long enough to penetrate her prideful attitude. I made an effort to display this attitude in her facial expressions through her eyes as much as possible.

Expressions

12/22
I went through a few design options throughout my character design process. The design process below overlays the original body shape I made for her. I tried different hairstyles and outfits, but ultimately went with the simpler overall design. Her character is made up of rounded circles with a few pointy edges to appear imposing and regal.

Kings of Colour is a museum exhibition concept I proposed for a corporate branding project. The goal was to build exhibition assets in the style of Craig & Karl's brand, which consists of bold, colourful and playful work filled with simple messages thoughtfully executed in a fun way.

Willy Wonka's chocolate river and boat are iconic elements from Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The chocolate river is a whimsical, flowing body of rich, melted chocolate that runs through the factory, showcasing Wonka's fantastical approach to candy making. The river not only serves as a visual delight but also symbolizes excess and indulgence, reflecting the fantastical and slightly dangerous nature of the factory.
Boat
Unreal Engine
09/24
The boat, made of a giant pink boiled sweet, is piloted by Oompa-Loompas and is used to transport guests along the river. It embodies the surreal, dreamlike atmosphere of Wonka's world—it's elegant yet bizarre, underscoring the blend of wonder and unease that permeates the factory. The journey on the boat also represents a deeper plunge into Wonka's mysterious and unpredictable world, foreshadowing the unexpected twists and moral lessons that await the characters.

Oishi Cafe is a restaurant concept design I made for a corporate design course I took at George Brown. While the project was a full branding exercise including a storefront and menu, the component I enjoyed creating most was the merchandise. I created a variety of props including packaging, aprons, mugs, toys and more!
