Here is a 15-second clip of an animation I did for a Vista High School teacher’s virtual English lecture.

I based the concept on the idea of students doodling in their notebooks, and I tried to evoke ballpoint pens and sharpie markers with the black lines.

I used both Procreate and Adobe Premiere Pro to create this project. I drew the individual frames in Procreate and then I exported them to Premiere to synchronize them with the lecture audio 

Click beneath the “keep reading” link to see a bonus animation that didn’t make it into the clip.

The animation above is based on the lines from Beowulf where he brags about what a fierce warrior he is. He says, “They have seen my strength for themselves, Have watched me rise from the darkness of war, Dripping with my enemies' blood.”

This is a digital vocabulary sheet I designed for an online Spanish 1 class. I made this in Adobe Illustrator.

My scientist brother asked me to help create a visual aid for a presentation he was doing on DNA. This 15-second animation is what I created using Procreate and Adobe Animate. It represents a chemical process where a jumble of DNA in a sample is separated into individual strands of DNA and RNA. Click the “read more” to learn more about my process drawing and animating this video.

I love Procreate’s animation features (which I have used to create this walk cycle and this animated PowerPoint slide) but sometimes I need a more robust animation software. For this program, I exported my Procreate artwork to Adobe Animate (formerly known as Flash) to create this finished video.

To see another project combining Procreate and Adobe Creative Cloud, check out this illustrated lecture on Beowulf I animated. In that project, I drew the individual frames in Procreate and then I exported them to Adobe Premiere Pro to synchronize them with the lecture audio.

I recently saw this video about Brutalist web design, a trend that has taken the internet by storm in the last couple of years. The video inspired me to try my hand at creating this brutalist style web page design.

Another poster for Hurst Orthodontics, this time advertising an ice cream social. I incorporated the hue of their logo into a color palette sweet enough to eat.

This is an inspirational poster intended for libraries and K-12 classrooms. I designed this a few years ago to practice mixing and matching fonts, as well as to practice changing the lighting and color balance of a photograph. (Creative Commons license.) See the original image for comparison below the “keep reading” link:

I really liked the composition of this royalty-free stock image, and I thought it would make a great inspirational poster, however I thought that the shades of blue and grey made it look a bit dim and gloomy. As you can see in my final product up top, I edited the lighting and colors, and I even added a little lens flare where the sun would be. I also cleaned up some of the background details that distracted from the main focus of the image. I used Photoshop for this project.

This is a template I made for a lesson on Greek gods. I designed it at 8.5″ x 11″, specifically with printer-friendliness in mind.

This walk cycle of a donkey is the first thing I ever made when I tried out the animation functionality on Procreate way back in 2020. Since then I have had a lot of practice with traditional frame-by-frame animation.

For more of my hand drawn animation, check out this illustrated lecture on Beowulf I made.

To see a cleaner, more rigged approach to animation, see this 15-second visual aid I created for a science presentation.

This is a custom e-reader template designed for elementary school students to read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on their tablets. Now that both the text and original W. W. Denslow illustrations have entered the public domain, I was able to combine this illustration with the full text of the novel (courtesy of project Gutenberg) to create an immersive environment for the first chapter. I chose to leave some of the grain in the illustration and use vintage fonts to mimic the aesthetic of reading a physical book, and as a nod to the fact that the book was published originally in 1900.

Mockup for an app icon of a space-themed arcade game I am programming with C# in Unity. Since the main character’s design has not yet been finalized, I created the temporary stand-in character using the “3D and Materials” functionality of Adobe Illustrator. The purpose of this exercise was mainly to help me decide on a color palette and overall aesthetic for the game. The color palette will be used throughout the game and its UX design.

This is a Nelson Mandela quote I that I liked so much I designed this little graphic for it. This would be perfect to post on any social media page, to add a little inspiration to your followers’ newsfeeds.

Another fun contest at Hurst Orthodontics = another fun poster I got to make. :) In fact, this is probably the funniest project I’ve ever designed!

The matching answer sheet is below, designed to be printer-friendly on half sheets of paper.

Here’s a pair of Lemony Snicket quote graphics I designed back in 2020 during lockdown. These were designed for an imaginary website called “Quotatious.” The idea was that visitors would visit the site to read the quote of the day and then repost it to their own social media feeds if it speaks to them.
