Illustration

I love working with clients and collaborators on detailed, whimsical illustration assets that give that viewers feel welcomed by and want to spend time with. My illustration work is very influenced by well-loved childrenʼs media like “I Spy” books and Richard Scarry, and I maintain that these playful, thoughtfully cluttered scenes have a lot to offer for adult and child audiences alike. 

Boston Marathon tote for Brooks Running

                                                           As a runner myself, I loved partnering                                                              with Brooks on a tote bag for their                                                                      "Hype House" pop-up for the 2025                                                                   Boston Marathon. 300 of these totes                                                             were printed on-site and distributed as an                                                    exclusive souvenir. My design features the                                                                     silhouette of the race course,                                                                               accessorized with impressions from                                                                my runs in the Boston area – the                                                                     skyline, pedestrian walk signals, clouds                                                           and trees, and the ever-present "anti-                                                            cheering section" (Canada geese).

Illustration Suite for DiscoverBrookline.com and promotional campaign

In 2021 and 2022 I worked with the Brookline Chamber to create a comprehensive suite of illustrations to populate and promote their local business directory website, DiscoverBrookline.com. I illustrate the site’s homepage hero image; headers for each 5 main topic pages; decorative spot illustrations; and a series of promotional vinyl banners that still decorate Rt 9 to this day. My work for the Chamber also included promotional designs and illustrations for events like the First Light Ceremony, and roadside banners ahead of the US Open in Brookline.

"Four Seasons of the MBTA" lllustration campaign for the Conservation Law Foundation

I worked with the CLF Communications Team on graphics for their 2023 "Four Seasons of the MBTA" campaign. I created one graphic each of the four seasons to illustrate the climate-related issues that become acute for greater Boston's public transit system throughout the year. Paired with text, these illustrations were published in a digital campaign to raise awareness of the increasing resiliency challenges the MBTA faces as seasonal weather patterns are exacerbated by climate change.

Our Revolution Medford campaign mailer

In a direct crossover between my political life and artistic life, I contributed an 8"x10" illustrated mail piece to the team of local candidates endorsed by Our Revolution Medford in 2023 (which included myself). The mailer was sent to thousands of voters in Medford ahead of the 2023 election and features many scenes and vignettes illustrating the Medford People's Platform
