Hi everyone! Happy 2026. A lot has been happening lately, but I wanted to take a moment to share another special post for a project that’s incredibly dear to my heart. Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy!

This marked the first supersuit I had the privilege of seeing through from start to finish. I joined the project to work on Skyfox’s surface design under the leadership of Costume Designer @thebigbadlizzwolf .

It was an intricate, demanding process on a very tight deadline but the team came together and delivered like absolute champs. Forever proud of this one and thanks to everyone involved!

I had such an amazing experience at #LightboxExpo on October 24th, 2025. Thank you so much to my team at @csulbstudent for funding my trip and I am looking forward to attending in the future!

I met so many creatives and it was inspiring to hear from those working in the entertainment industry. I had the opportunity to attend two panels, consisting of the artists I tagged above. Thank you to @clconceptart for reviewing my portfolio, I will take your insight with me.

LBX.

Successfully paneled, passed my 1st kyu test & helped teach younglings, took blurry pics of the homies from 3 feet away, lost my voice, gave @jasecastagna as much shit as possible, and reconnected with so many.

Thank you @digitalbobert and @kei_acedera 🥲

Wow! What an incredible night! I am beyond happy for the amazing @paultazewell for getting the recognition he deserves. I am so lucky to have worked on the early conceptual stages for Shiz. Thank you Paul and @9bcollective for bringing me on! It was an honor to work alongside so many talented artists. ✨💚🩷

I decided this is a post-worthy moment. When the Oscar nominees for Best Costume Design were announced, it barely registered to me that this was a career milestone, being a part of an Oscar nominated project. The reason being that out of all the concept artists, I was probably involved the least, (or close to it) from what feels like ages ago. Seeing my work on that stage was a reminder to me that no matter how small my role might be on any given project, I should give it everything I have, because you never know what may come of your hard work (and it’s usually something great). However, What’s most important right now is to give a MASSIVE congratulations to @paultazewell !!! No one deserved this award more than him. As well as the rest of the crew including concept artists @jasecastagna @darrelljwarner @illustratedbygina @sim0ndo @sophialee_johnson @barry_brownjr @phil_boutte , @carolinelindopdesign , @amakatja and more! (Apologies if I missed you). Lastly, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity at all without being recruited by @9bcollective. Thank you so much!!! Xx Cheers to team WICKED 🥂
