My Design Philosophy
I am a graphic designer and illustrator focused on creating expressive visuals that explore the human form and emotion.
My work often experiments with expressions, composition, and subtle distortion to create pieces that feel engaging and thought provoking.
I enjoy incorporating hidden meanings and small details that encourage viewers to look closer and form their own interpretations.
While I can create a range of styles, I am especially inspired by dark fantasy and futuristic themes that influence the mood and direction of my work.
My creative process is shaped by both personal exploration and influences from digital media and contemporary artists.
As a designer, my goal is to create work that connects with people and leaves a lasting impression, whether through visual impact, storytelling, or emotional response.
About Me
I’m someone who genuinely enjoys building meaningful interactions, and connecting with new people.
I take a lot of pride in my work and stay dedicated to improving my craft, especially when it comes to my illustrations and creative projects. I tend to spend a lot of time refining details and making sure my final pieces evoke some type of response.
Outside of my work, I love going downtown in different cities, especially at night. The atmosphere, the lights, and the overall energy inspires me, and I enjoy capturing those moments through photography.
Music is also a big part of my life. It plays a huge role in my creative process and helps me stay focused and motivated whenever I’m working. It also has inspired me to start a band of my own.
Uniqueness
My art style leans into a gritty, raw aesthetic. I focus heavily on blending and deep contrast, using dark shading to create intensity and atmosphere. I like pushing textures and shadows to make my work feel immersive and slightly unsettling, giving each piece a strong visual presence.
Originality
My process starts traditionally. I begin most of my work using pencil, micron pens, and other physical tools, often fully rendering pieces by hand. Once complete, I scan them and bring them into a digital space to apply finishing touches and refinements.
For graphic design, I work digitally, but my ideas still begin in a sketchbook. I go through multiple iterations before settling on a final direction, allowing each concept to evolve naturally. This mix of traditional and digital techniques helps me maintain a unique and personal feel across all my work.

Why These Inspirations
My inspirations come from artists and films that aren’t afraid to push boundaries visually and emotionally. I’m drawn to work that blends intensity with style. Whether it’s bold linework, exaggerated expressions, or unsettling atmospheres.
Artists like Hirohiko Araki and Tatsuki Fujimoto inspire me through their dynamic compositions and unique storytelling, while Tsutomu Kitazawa represents the roots of expressive illustration. The films I chose, like Hereditary and No Country for Old Men, influence my use of tension, mood, and pacing.
In short, I’m inspired by anything that creates a strong feeling, especially within horror and thriller spaces, and I try to reflect that same energy and depth in my own work.
