Last week, I updated my #illustration and #typography course materials and came across Designing Type by Karen Cheng, a great find for both new and experienced designers. Highly recommend! This is an illustration I created for the DesCan Journal descan.ca

Over the past few months, I’ve been restructuring my career, shifting from FT self-employment to a new role as an Assistant Professor (Teaching). Now that things are gradually settling into place, I look forward to sharing more about this transition and what it means for my practice and teaching.

Today marks my first day as an Assistant Professor (teaching) at the @uofaartdesign ! #artdesign #uofa

Yes, it’s been a little quiet across my social media channels lately. I’ve been busy focusing on my clients and their projects. #illustration #scbwi #elderly

Happy first day of spring! 🌼 Today, I’m revisiting my City Pollinators illustration from last year, which was featured in the International Poster Biennial in Mexico A.C. It’s a reminder of the beauty of nature and the importance of supporting pollinators. buff.ly/4gk8c99 #illustration

Here’s to another sketch and final #illustration ! ✨

Excited to kick off this great collaboration with Réseau plein air Québec! Here’s an #illustration from last year, alongside its original sketch. Looking forward to creating more!

Another #illustration was revived from my archives—this one was created for the Government of Alberta! Here’s a look at both the sketch and the final piece. What do you think?

Going through my archives, I rediscovered this identity and visual elements I created for @ucalgary! Loved working on this project. Here are some final pieces, sketches, and proposals. If you have something in mind, let’s chat! ✨ #illustration #design

Just wrapped up 10 hours of illustration (in a single day), finishing 7 little pieces—so tomorrow I can take it easy and start the weekend early! #comics #illustration #education

Here is another sketch + final illustration. I did this piece for the @ucalgary #illustration #editorial

Just came across this very old #illustration—almost 10 years ago! This piece was created for Kiplinger’s Financial Magazine. My style has definitely evolved quite a bit since then. #editorial

Since I have a tiny bit of time to dedicate to social media, I have decided to share some interesting process work as well as the final work. Let me know what you think and what you would like to see! #illustration #ucalgary #kidlitart

Here’s a still look at my animated poster, which I was honoured to have featured last year at the International Poster Biennial in Mexico A.C. This work highlights the importance of pollinators and the ways we can support their environment.
