A couple of months ago I got to work with AD Stephanie Scholz from the Berliner Zietung and made this animated illustration for a digital campaign to promote reader submission.
Rarely does your bedroom simply serve as a bedroom. It can become your office, your garden, your gym, your rehearsal space, your library, and your art studio all throughout the course of a day. It becomes whatever you need it to be while trying to keep your spirits up amid the loneliness of sheltering in place.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms and mom’s to be out there.
So very excited to share this piece I got to work on with @tonydeluxxx for the @nytimes. It is a series of personal accounts of people who have fallen sick with Covid-19, including my own. I’ve always been in love with any sort of rear window kind of narrative and was beyond stoked to utilize this trope for such a current and relevant story.
When Breath Becomes Air: Not my kind of book but it was very insightful but also utterly tragic. A Gentleman in Moscow: Yes, very readable. The Plague: Has one of my all time favs and now one of four books I read for a second time.
At the end of last year I got to work with a great team @zero.studios to create a series of illustrations for Canvas Medical. All illustration a geared toward explaining Canvas Medical very specific products and functionalities while keeping them cool. I’m gonna post a few of the illustrations and this one here is one of my personal favs. Swipe right for the animated version (animated by @pg.finn)
