Here are some 2D Designs that I have completed. These include sketches of characters, logos, license plate designs, and more!
Below are some characters I created for my Design Club. The theme was based around ducks, so I wanted to create a “Ducktator” and some “Ducktroopers”. They were inspired by Daffy Duck, Chilean Soldiers, and soldier designs from one of my favorite games: Far Cry 6. I recently took these designs to Fayetteville Comic-Con and managed to sell a few of these illustrations!
My most loved design
This was a personal commission from my dad. He wanted a logo made from the phrase “The One” and the number one. I initially started with a sketch, and then after my Dad’s approval, I brought the design into Adobe Illustrator and digitized it.
When I showed the fully colored design below to my dad, he loved it. He loved it so much that he decided to have the design as a screensaver, on a shirt, and even on a coffee mug! Not only that but his work colleagues think the logo is fantastic.

Satellite Infographic
This next animation was created for a class on design for multimedia (which was a very fun class). I had to create an infographic animation on a satellite that UNCW was involved in making. This satellite would be launched to monitor harmful algae blooms. I was able to create a static infographic in Adobe Illustrator and bring it over to After Effects to animate it.
Song of the United Republic
One of my favorite fantasy series is Avatar: Legend of Korra. I fell in love with it due to the 1920s Technology and the addition of a new nation: The United Republic. I had seen music videos for the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, and Water Tribes on YouTube, but none for the United Republic. So for one of the small assignments for Multimedia Design, I decided to create one. I utilized Adobe After Effects to create an “animated sound visualization” often seen for music on YouTube. I used a Chinese-sounding song by Tiffany Roman Louk for the YouTube show Extra History and included the symbol for the United Republic of Nations.
Veteran Momento
During the Cold War and Vietnam, My grandfather was a navigator for a B-52 Stratofortress, a bomber plane for the US Air Force that is still in service today. My grandfather wanted me to create a license plate/cup design for him. Through the design process of sketching thumbnails, creating a draft, and publishing the final graphic, I asked my grandfather what he wanted in the design and what to change! Here is the final result:
Here you see other creative works from character sketches to Book Covers to Logos!
This video was a commission that I created after attending the 2023 Wings Over Wayne Airshow at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. I had an amazing experience and my family wanted me to create a video from the various videos we took from it. This is the resulting video!
