illustrator & Designer
Independent Projects, Illustration
In January 2021, USAA was nearing completion on a new design system and a refresh of their brand voice. They needed help defining how illustration at USAA should look, feel, and function. I crafted an illustration style and system that integrates directly into Reveille and reflects the modernized brand, then trained and led a team of illustrators to expand the library into the future.
In 2013, a team within Intel’s R&D division called the “Perceptual Computing Group” approached Fresh Tilled Soil with a curious bit of technology: a depth-sensing camera that could recognize objects in 3D space. Paired with the right software, this would enable computers to understand human hand gestures. My colleagues and I designed and developed a fully-functioning prototype application that would demonstrate the technology’s extraordinary potential.
The team at MoveableCode saw an opportunity: technology could enable new directions in storytelling and gaming, using the virtual to connect us with our physical world like never before. The result was Incantor, an innovative mobile game that sought to make magic real. Along with my colleagues at Fresh Tilled Soil, I helped to refine and design the game, from its mechanics and mythology to its unique visual language.
