Beyond Illustration

Illustration alone will not be enough to impact the world or change the way people think. While it is an artist's task to transform and portray their perspective on the world and inspire others, it has become increasingly difficult for creative and compassionate individuals to thrive in a world that prioritizes efficiency and materialism. However, creatives must adapt to the instability of the 21st century and consider how they can contribute to change while remaining commercially viable. I hope the projects shown below integrate art and interaction, technology, user experience, and most importantly, social activism.
