Character Portfolio

Character illustration is not one of my specialties. That might sound like a strange thing to lead with, but hear me out. Because I do not have a fixed way of drawing characters, the ones I create tend to be original. They are not copies of something I have seen before or variations on a style I have practiced too many times. I approach each project with the open mind of a child and the enthusiasm of a teenager. Creating characters lets me show how I see the world without filters or professional hesitation.

What the Characters Say

Take the snake I made for FIU. That was a chance to show how I anthropomorphize everyday objects. A snake becomes a character with attitude, not just an animal. The little orange guy named Hughey let me poke gentle fun at the comical people around me without any negative consequences. He is exaggerated but affectionate. The cigar smoker gave me room to explore how some men manage to stay cool way past their expiration date. That combination of confidence and absurdity interests me.

What I Can Do for You

If you need a mascot for a brand, a team, or an event, I can build one from scratch. If you need character development for a project, a publication, or a campaign, I can bring personalities to life that feel fresh and unforced. I am not working from a template. I am working from whatever the project asks for.

Contact me if you need a mascot or some character development. The kind that has nothing to do with self help and everything to do with making something people remember.
