PSA Animations

While studying at BGSU, I took a class where myself and a team of artists worked together to create video PSAs for various clean energy organizations. In the Green Energy Ohio PSA (above), I was the sole animator and lead illustrator.

This series of paintings (oil on canvas, 2022) depict skin being torn at the fingers and mouth, invoking visceral and uncomfortable images of the body while exploring themes of self-harm.
These digital paintings (Photoshop, 2020) focus on cultivating a specific atmosphere: a dark, fantasy forest visitors may not find their way out of.

Damsel in Distress (Photoshop, 2018) is a Pitch Bible for a video game concept I created at BGSU. The concept explores the "damsel in distress" trope by twisting the narrative to the perspective of a kidnapped princess. Audiences literally adapt Acele’s point of view as she navigates sexism and classism in a war-ridden world.
