Excited to share my contribution to this year’s Posters for Parks show! 🌹🦋
Inspired by the Lyndale Park Rose Garden, one of my daughter’s favorite places, this piece is a reflection on the resilience of Minneapolis amid the recent surge in federal immigration enforcement.
Pink represents strength rooted in compassion and vulnerability, while roses and butterflies symbolize resilience, renewal, and the many journeys that shape our city.
It’s a two-color screen print on @frenchpaperco Pop-Tone Pink Lemonade paper, beautifully printed by the awesome gals at @nightswimproject 🐦✨
Find it today alongside 40+ limited-edition posters celebrating our parks!

📍 Minnehaha Falls Regional Park 🕑 Today, 2–6 PM

Any remaining posters will be available at postersforparks.org from October 12–17, with proceeds supporting the protection and preservation of Minneapolis parks. Special thanks to @love.mpls.parks and @mplsparksfoundation for making this event possible!

A closer look at the magic. ✨

After sharing about the @target x harry potter collaboration, I wanted to share some of the details that went into bringing this project to life — from the packaging artwork to the in-store display.

It was so fun seeing the work come to life across the different pieces. There are so many little details throughout this project that I loved getting to explore.

And as a Harry Potter fan, getting to be part of this one was pretty surreal.

Here are some closer looks at the packaging, display, and some of my favorite details from the project. ⚡✨

Excited to finally share a little bit of magic! ✨

I had the opportunity to illustrate the packaging and in-store display for the official Harry Potter x Target collaboration.

This was such a fun project to work on — reinterpreting some classic Honeydukes treats while also helping bring a new one to life: the official Honeydukes assortment created for retail at Target, bringing these treats beyond the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the first time.

It was a blast exploring the world of Honeydukes through illustration and translating that magic into a new retail experience. Seeing the artwork come to life across the packaging and in-store display was such a rewarding part of the process. 🪄🍫✨

A huge shoutout to all the amazing folks on the Target team who helped make this project happen. From packaging engineering and copywriting to planning and visual merchandising, what you see here is just a small piece of all the magic that went into bringing it to life.

And a big shoutout to the Warner Bros. team for being such awesome partners throughout the process! ✨

I’m excited to share my piece for Hold the Boundary, a poster exhibition curated by ArtYouHeart in support of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Superior National Forest.

My piece is inspired by the idea of a common thread—the connections between water, plants, and wildlife that make the Boundary Waters such a special place. Nothing exists in isolation; everything is part of a larger, living system.

I’m honored to be part of this talented group of artists and to contribute to the conversation about protecting this incredible place.

The exhibition opens today, August 25, at Can Can Wonderland in St. Paul.

Excited to share my piece for this year’s Posters for Parks show! 🖤
“Cuervos Recuerdan”— a 3-color screen print on @frenchpaperco Grey Grout — is inspired by my childhood in South Minneapolis, when every fall the trees around Powderhorn Park filled with crows and transformed the landscape.

Starting the spooky season by bringing this monster to life! ⚡️💿
Had the chance to design and illustrate this exclusive Halloween compilation pressed on glow-in-the-dark vinyl — it’s alive!! 🎃👻
Feels like the perfect mix of eerie and fun, straight out of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab.

I had the opportunity to design and illustrate an exclusive vinyl cover for a special summer compilation  From concept to color palette, every detail was inspired by the warmth and rhythm of summer.
 Pressed on a beautiful translucent blue vinyl that captures the feeling of clear skies and cool waters—Stoked to see this one come to life. ⛱️🛟☀️🌊

Here is a closer look and some of the thought behind the illustrations I made for the 2023 studio on fire letterpress calendar.

I was super exited to have been able to create illustrations for two of my favorite months. With both months having such and inherited connection to life and death, I wanted to showcase the duality and friendship of both.
With one illustration representing the renewal and beauty of spring and the other showcasing decline and death of fall.

Each illustration can stand on its own and showcase its own unique traits, but also they balance each other out when placed next to each other.
