A quick highlight of my work for your speed run convenience

 

What am I up to right now?

Gosh, what am I NOT up to?

Currently I am working as a Production Artist with Hattas Studios in sunny Los Angeles bringing murals and faux finishes and anything you can dream of to life! From painting a historical Old Hollywood Theater top to bottom or working under deadline as a commercial muralist painter on Melrose, I’ve spent the last year as a member of a great team in Hattas Studios bringing stories to life and learning so so much.

Home and Renovation design

Here is a freelance project I designed, exterior and interior, working directly with a client to bring her dream home to life, from sketches to construction.

View Project

I have been lucky to show my work in a growing number of shows. Currently I am a resident artist with Hive Galleries in DTLA. Other places include with SAB galleries, product design work in ShenZhen, China. Others include at UC Irvine, and installation art displayed at the Bendix building in DTLA.

Messing with the mainstream

By exploring some basic patterns understood by both human and machine eye, how far can you blend a purely visual approach to technological depth?

A Soothing Game

Based on a given prompt “I’m losing my mind!” I created a game app that focuses on exploring visuals and provide an alternative to doom scrolling.

300 miles or 3 months. That is how long running shoes typically last. So why not design the degradation to happen on purpose?

Packaging for a drink I love

Classy Lassi is a packaging project I designed because I love mango Lassi, but I’ve only found it served in specific restaurants. It got me thinking, if a retail version existed to be sold in places like wholefoods…what would that brand look like?

Looking for Future Visions

What if google glass had been developed with a jewelry approach in mind instead of voyeurism evoking glasses? UNSPKN is an exploration into BCI as a wearable device and the accompanying new UX to go with hands free technology.
