At Sprints Athletic Apparel, I create original designs, illustrations, repeat patterns, and production-ready tech packs for 2027 collections. I lead the Custom Design program and collaborate with overseas vendors, factories, marketing, catalog, and web teams.

I've also created 2D illustrations, animation, background art, visual-development concepts, and character designs for Michael Lynn Animation, an NDA short film, and Gabb Global. I enjoy moving from early research and mood boards to polished visuals while incorporating feedback and maintaining visual consistency.
