Not too long ago, I dreamt up a place I’d like to go to and relax. A place that could potentially serve as an escape from reality while still feeling grounded and realistic.

I’ve been developing (or at least trying to develop) a certain style that I could call my own - and I’m finally feeling like I’m getting closer to realizing it.

I started my whole design journey studying spaces and structures, not graphics and animation. This helped me to think logically about certain tasks but held me back in a realm that craved something a bit more surreal. Slowly, I started toward a more stylized, “cartoony” style. Well, eventually, I found myself incorporating a more grounded, structural aesthetic into my more stylized pieces and this is where I ended up.

I was really inspired by Hereditary and the use of miniatures in that film. So, I set out to craft my own miniature space. The proportions are a bit off, a bit funky, and that all serves a purpose.

As I move forward and continue to develop my craft, I hope to uncover more fascinating bits as I try and merge styles together in my own way :)
