Industry Experience

Gaming, Media & Entertainment, Software & Internet
    uniE621 KaryogeneSYS UI
    This UI was created at a 640x480 resolution for an atmospheric retro-style game project. I've scaled it up so it can be enjoyed without zooming in.
    uniE621 Baroness of Wolves Battle Map
    This battle map was created for Conquest of the Heretic God, a D&D 5e module in active development. It was designed for use with online tabletop simulators such as Roll20 and Foundry. illustrator
    uniE621 Breakerfist
    This digital painting was created for a trading card game in Clip Studio Paint. illustrator
    uniE621 Mist UI
    This is a screenshot of the UI I created for an unreleased project codenamed 'Mist'. I did layout in Affinity Designer, asset creation in Clip Studio Paint, and implementation in Unity. The icons are all mine, and the font is HollaMediaeval. graphicdesigner designer illustrator
    uniE621 Kil Stream Schedule
    This schedule graphic was created for the livestreamer TheLadyKil. I designed and painted the assets in Clip Studio, then exported it as a PSD for her to edit as needed. The logo design is also mine. graphicdesigner illustrator logo branding
    uniE621 Lady Kil Overlay
    This Twitch overlay was created for the livestreamer TheLadyKil. I designed and painted the assets in Clip Studio, then assembled the final overlays in StreamElements. graphicdesigner illustrator
    uniE621 DriverInbound Flyer
    DriverInbound is a mobile application providing last-mile delivery guides to truckers across the United States. I was contracted to overhaul the UI of the early app, as well as define its branding and style. This promotional flyer was created in Affinity Designer, with an app screenshot taken from the Unity build. The logo and UI design were done by me, and the font used is General Sans. logo graphicdesigner illustrator designer
    uniE621 DriverInbound Assets
    DriverInbound is a mobile application providing last-mile delivery guides to truckers across the United States. I was contracted to overhaul the UI of the early app, as well as define its branding and style. These assets were created as vectors in Affinity Designer for use in the Unity app. logo graphicdesigner designer illustrator
    uniE621 Book Cover: Your Friend In Witchcraft
    This illustration was created for Kay Marlow Allen, who commissioned me to revamp the cover of their epistolary game 'Your Friend In Witchcraft'. The piece is designed with a significant bleed in mind, so it works for both digital and physical zine releases. To create the textured patterns, I scanned scrapbook paper and masked them to the flatted elements. illustrator graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Promo Art: Seattle Indies Slow Jam '22
    I did this one for the Seattle Indies, a nonprofit that empowers indie game devs through education, networking, and other opportunities. My favorite part was drawing all the objects to give the three developers depicted unique personalities and interests! illustrator
    uniE621 Card Art: Wizard College
    Art for an upcoming TCG! This piece was meant to evoke a wizard tower, barracks, and a university all in one. The medieval setting was a lot of fun to work with! illustrator
