The Crossroads: The Fiddler’s Compass — Comic Cover Concept
An original promotional comic-book cover created for The Crossroads: The Fiddler’s Compass, a fictional story inspired by Hecate, the Greek goddess of crossroads, night, magic, and the boundaries between worlds.
I developed the concept, composition, layered imagery, typography, and initial artwork in Photoshop, reimagining the mythology through a contemporary visual lens.
During final production, I used generative AI selectively to embellish the layered artwork, strengthen its atmosphere, and adjust specific visual elements, then refined it further in Photoshop. The piece demonstrates my approach to conceptual storytelling, atmospheric image-making, and AI-assisted cover design.

Eleven Eleven — Hand-Drawn Logo & Brand Identity
A physical therapist and psychic commissioned me to create the visual identity for Eleven Eleven, a new business combining physical healing and psychic services. After researching relevant imagery and visual references, I developed the logo entirely from original hand-drawn artwork. I then digitized, vectorized, and refined the design in Adobe Illustrator, preparing a versatile final identity for merchandise, T-shirts, stickers, social media, and official business collateral.

Pharmaceutical Patient-Education Illustrations
While working as a UX designer at Cambridge BioMarketing, I identified an opportunity to improve a pharmaceutical disease-education website whose symptom graphics relied on low-quality raster imagery. Drawing on my illustration background, I redrew and recreated the symptom visuals in Photoshop, producing cleaner, more consistent artwork for the final website. The project demonstrates my ability to work across UX and visual design, using illustration to improve the clarity and quality of patient-facing educational content.

Wah Lum Kung Fu Association — Apparel & Promotional Design
For more than 22 years, I created annual T-shirt designs and promotional graphics for the Wah Lum Kung Fu Association. My work included original apparel artwork, physical and hand-painted signage, logo refinements, and promotional materials supporting school events and community activities. Over time, I also helped modernize and organize the association’s graphic inventory, updating established visual assets while preserving the tradition and recognizable character of the Wah Lum identity.
