Ƿes hāl!

And welcome to my online portfolio.

A Humble About

What I've done.

For five years I studied at Baldwin Wallace University. I started as only a Creative Writing major and stumbled through two other double majors before discovering my second true calling: graphic design. I added this major as a final test after I completed military training for the National Guard, and found that it was a perfect fit for me. Currently, I've been working on minor design projects and even writing commissions for personal clients. Other than that, my goal for 2023 is to see my first fiction work (one of the design samples in my portfolio) from start-to-finish.

Update (September 2023): I completed the Creative Coding course on edX and received the certificate of completion in September 2021, so I'm definitely capable of coding with JavaSript's p5 library. That being said, you can now click here to view and interact with my final project if you'd like! Another thing to note is that my portfolio section doesn't work the same because the coding library I used is too outdted now - just refresh the page if the screen "goes dark."

Things that I like to do in my free time include: continuing to enhance my creative skills through ficlets and Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, practising and recording new music for the symphonic metal band I sing in, sharing new cosplays I've crafted to my instagram, and reading a good book once in a while to keep my mind engaged (I'm particularly interested in danmei novels right now).

My Current Projects

Future Website Updates

I plan to do a major redesigning of this website to include all of my creative identities, not just graphic design. The current design was constructed during my time at BW, and I'd like to evolve it into a more engaging interface with separate pages rather than just a simple scroll-type. There will be a portfolio page for my graphic design skills, my creative writing samples, professional cosplay images one could purchase prints of, and potentially samples of my band's music.

Other projects include setting up an Instagram account for the band, The Last Alliance, re-envisioning the seven deadly sins project in my portfolio to better fit the book I'm writing, and aiding my best friend in designing her website.

"The Last Straw"

My current writing commission for a short story about my client's boyfriend's Dungeons and Dragons character from a campaign I was involved in with him. Since she has a craving for the steamier side of things, I will not be disclosing any part of it on here (I may share the opening on my future writing portfolio, however, seeing as that will at least be safe for a general audience).

My other writing project involves the Greek epic novel envisioned in a mock-up below, now titled as: "Alcides: Hera's Envy." I may also write articles for the website I'm aiding my friend in establishing, however.
