1 out of an 8 graphic series I've made for a media framing project while attending the University of Tulsa. Showcasing harmful racial imagery. The “mammy” is a doll that Katie Smith is holding as a reference to her article conveying how much she loved her mammy. The mammy is not viewed as a person, but more so as a sort of security blanket.

Hey everyone,
For the Envato Hackathon: Human by Design, I created a brand exploration for one of the most anticipated events for cricket fans, the Cricket World Cup 2027.
My process usually starts with the defining story first. I collect references, get a clear picture of the mood I'm going for, and then figure out how to actually bring it to life using stock assets, design tools, and AI as my execution partner. For this one, I wanted the whole thing to feel vibrant, dynamic, and bold, basically a visual system that captures the energy of the game.
I'll be adding a walkthrough video in comments showing how I arrived at certain creative decisions, and how @envato assets & AI tools helped shape the final look and feel.

Can illustration become part of architecture?
I've been exploring the idea of taking my geometric illustrations beyond fashion and transforming them into pieces that live within interior spaces.
Instead of treating artwork as something added to a room, I wanted it to feel like it belongs to the architecture itself—quiet, minimal and timeless.
This concept is part of my ongoing visual exploration for VALMA, where fashion, art and interior design share the same visual language.
I'm curious—would you see work like this in a home, boutique hotel or gallery?
Grix is a geometric display typeface built for dominance. based on strict modular grid logic, every letterform is deliberate — sharp transitions, angular notches, and heavy visual weight work together to anchor any composition.
