It’s an illustrated guide to making the most of roommate life. It’s full of flowcharts, art, short essays and hypotheticals that celebrate friendship and roommate life.

The Mama Book The Mama Book 2.0, by Andrea Faulkner Williams, was released in 2021. Illustrations: Me!Design: Seohee ChoPhotography: Neighbors Creative Adobe Creative Residency Ad I incorporated my Charleston beach pattern into an ad for Adobe in the San Francisco Art Quarterly.—Process:drawn > scanned (I could have used the Capture app because it would have been faster for what I ended up doing) > image trace in Illustrator > live paint >created a repeating pattern Ruthie Lindsey Deck Ruthie Lindsey is a Nashville-based speaker and stylist whose work has been featured in Darling Magazine, The Great Discontent, Better Homes & Gardens, Lonny, and Design* Spongeto name a few.Ruthie speaks on living a rich, beautiful life in the midst of brokenness and pain, and I had the honor of designing her deck. I decided to do a few illustrations (where she didn't have photos) and emphasize her pictures with frames cut out of construction paper. I went this route for two reasons. 1)I knew this called for something simple and minimal, as to not distract from her powerful story. 2) I wanted to experiment with the process of taking something apart (like cutting paper) and putting it back together for the sake of creating something entirely new. Ruthie's journey wasn't all by choice, but what she's decided to make of it is a powerful testament to humanity's capacity for both resilience and love. Enamel Pins Various enamel pins created for Chipper Things. Intercom Illustrations Editorial Illustrations created for the Intercomblog. You can see (and read) them here,here and here. Various Illustration Projects A collection of illustration projects. Jess Lively: Life With Intention Jess Livel's podcast, the Lively Show,has over 9 million downloads and has been named an iTunes "What's Hot" and "New and Noteworthy." With a loyal fanbase and a conviction to educate the world on intentional living, Jess created an online course calledLife With Intention.The class is composed of four modules, and dozens of short videos. We worked together to come up with over 200 illustrations to make these lessons POP. Hand Lettering Various hand lettering projects. The top 3 are for Tubby Todd. Design Milk I partnered with Design Milk to show users how to use the Adobe mobile apps, like Adobe Draw, to enhance their work. Check out the full tutorial here. Dallas Children's Magazine Font Design Mama's Sauce: Holiday Drawliday In December 2015 I led a workshop at Mama’s Sauce called, “Holiday Drawliday,” where we walked through a series of prompts. Attendees drew their version as we went along. It was kind of like a Paint by Numbers and Choose Your Own Adventure mash up. Everybody took home one of my 18×24″ screen printed posters and a letterpressed image bank (courtesy of Mama’s Sauce,Creative Cloud and Creative Live.) More Flowcharts Custom flowcharts for Esperos SOHO, Man Repeller, Allure Magazine, 10 Days and Chipper Things. Allure Flowchart I created this flowchart for Allure's September 2015 issue.
