My Portfolio

An animated illustration of three women, each with distinct appearances and personalities, with text describing their traits and preferences. The first woman has curly red hair, blue eyes, and a confident expression, holding her hand out with glowing magic and a statement about chaos being a plan. The second woman has long, curly orange hair, wears a witch's hat, and seems thoughtful, with a note about her being Cthulie's best friend. The third woman has long, wavy red hair, blue eyes, and a surprised expression, accompanied by a small plant-like creature, with text noting her love for long conversations with her plants and a humorous fact about her skin sparkling in moonlight.

Great visuals don’t just capture attention—they tell stories. Here, you’ll find examples of my professional work in visual branding: book covers that entice readers, logos that communicate identity, and titles that set the mood. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to resonate deeply and convey your vision with artistry and clarity.

An illustration of a young woman with red wavy hair, green eyes, and goth clothing, kneeling on the floor surrounded by magical symbols. She is holding a lit candle with both hands. Around her are potion bottles, a spellbook, tarot cards, a sprig of herbs, a pentagram, and a cute, blue chibi-style demon with wings and horns. The background is gray, and the scene has a mystical, occult vibe.

Hex Rated

Hex Rated, my main comic series. Set in the gothic, Lovecraft-inspired city of Cinderlock during an alternate 1930s timeline, this is a dark tale of mystery, magic, romance, and cosmic intrigue. Follow the spirited Effie Hexin, an impulsive witch with a chaotic familiar by her side, as she navigates dangerously tangled relationships, ancient secrets, and hidden horrors lurking just beneath reality's surface.

With vibrant characters, darkly beautiful artwork, and a story inspired by Lovecraftian mythos and gothic noir, Hex Rated invites you into a world where darkness and romance entwine—and nothing is quite as it seems.

Explore the lore, characters, and behind-the-scenes insights as you await its exciting debut on Webtoon later this year!
