From Letters to Lumens is a visual commentary on the transformation of romantic communication in the digital age.

Couple-ish is a new canadian produced LGBTQ web series. It's about Dee, a bisexual, non-binary Canadian illustrator, who finds themselves locked into a lease they can’t afford. With the help of younger sister Amy, Dee thinks they find the perfect new roommate in Rachel, a queer British bartender. The challenge here was to create promotional posters that would convey the characters unique personalities. We also made the posters complimentary to increase collect-ability.

In addition to establishing the UX foundations, I contributed significantly to business-to-business (B2B) engagements, designing a web page optimized for conversion, serving as a critical touchpoint for prospective partners. My involvement with the product extended beyond the digital surface; I embraced the possibilities of additive manufacturing to construct the initial product prototype. This process not only expedited the development phase but also allowed for a seamless transition into creating marketing materials, leveraging the 3D models for visual consistency across all collateral. My tenure at Bin Metrics was marked by a harmonious blend of design, innovation, and strategic marketing, driving forward both the product and the brand.

At Ill Broken Entertainment, my role as the in-house designer was a deep dive into the brand's ethos, driving its evolution and sharpening its identity in the entertainment landscape.

Each marketing piece I created was not just a design but a strategic vehicle to elevate the brand's presence, making sure that every visual interaction was an echo of Ill Broken's unique narrative.

In collaboration with a close friend, this piece springs from a static canvas into a vibrant, breathing animation.
