apparel
I design t‑shirts that carry story and attitude. Bold enough to stand out, simple enough to wear on repeat. From personal pieces to event merch, each of my designs balances clarity with character. Scroll on to see some wearable examples.
Weird Hoodie
A resurrection of a beloved, faded tee
My remake leans into embracing my weirdness. The alien character stands for “outsider” or “other,” crowned with horns and a halo to honor one of my favorite themes: duality. Clean, hand-drawn lines keep that tension alive: imperfect, balanced, and real.
On the back, the “weird” design repeats with a rough, handwritten definition: “The state of being different or strange in the greatest way possible.”
To me, that means embracing what makes me who I truly am — the everyday parts alongside the truly weird parts that complete the whole.
Iteration - I started this design in Illustrator first before moving to digitally draw it.
I felt the design was too clean in Illustrator and was missing a human touch.

Better Yourself Shirt
Quote inspiration
Inspired by the line “It’s not about battering yourself. It’s about bettering yourself” from Few Will Hunt, this design turns grit into growth. I first explored a quick, simple version with text, but I wanted something deeper than just two short sentences.
My second version begins quietly on the front: a small dagger and diamond symbol with no text, inviting the viewer to explore further. On the back, the story unfolds with bold blackletter headers, clean serif copy, and traditional tattoo-style hands I drew. One hand cradles a diamond, adorned with jewelry and sprouting grapevines to symbolize abundance. The other hand is pierced by a dagger and wrapped in thorny vines, representing self-punishment.
The style choices — blackletter, serif, and tattoo iconography — give this shirt an older, time-worn weight. To me, this piece is a reminder to be kinder to myself even when I stumble. Mistakes don’t tear me down; they shape me into something stronger.

Turkey Trot t-shirt
humorous tee for the holidays
I designed this tee for my very first 5K. For a Turkey Trot, I wanted something festive for Thanksgiving but without using a turkey. Instead, I leaned into humor and typography to make it readable and memorable.
The front features broken pieces of type framed by teeth, giving the effect of the words being chewed away. On the back, motion takes over: “running” stretches with speed, “meat” carries a meat texture, and “sweats” drips like it’s melting, all framed by playful little sweat drops in the shape of meat.
This shirt was meant to be paired with all-over meat-print joggers (they didn’t arrive in time 😭), but it carried the spirit of the run on its own.
