Approach
RECENTLY I STARTED UP A BRAND WORLD CALLED Mind's Eye as a space to BRING EVERYTHING THAT I DO CREATIVELY, TOGETHER. characters, objects, and studies that all hang together, grounded in honest, lived-in human experience rather than a polished version of it. It's shaped how I want every project to work going forward. FOCUS ON A core brand asset, then let a whole world hang off IT, visually, tonally, structurally, rather than treating the work as one idea in isolation. The goal isn't JUST ABOUT conceptS, BUT a world that holds together, and feels like it was made the way real, TANGIBLE things get made.
