My Character Design Portfolio

(a work in progress)

​

Character design has always been my greatest passion—crafting personalities, exploring shapes, and bringing stories to life through expressive, memorable silhouettes. With years of experience in animation, games, and illustration, I strive to create characters that feel rich with history and purpose. My work is deeply inspired by fantasy, folklore, and mythology, blending stylization with storytelling. This portfolio is a work in progress as I refine my art and develop my website—check back for updates as I continue to explore and expand my designs!

Elvira the Pop Star

Elvira is a character of my own that I've enjoyed developing. She's an 80's electro-funk wannabe-pop star with a band of her own and dreams of fame.

Mbali is a little character from my very first student animated short back in 2019. I loved redesigning her after a few years.

I wanted to explore a character grounded in a more real space - while still working on something magical. Who doesn't love witches??

Some development for my storyboard project that you can find on my Storyboard page! Kali is almost as small as a mouse, as she's an African Black Footed Cat.

The Soloists - my Annie Award Winning Short Film from Gobelins - was a blast to direct and design the characters for!
