Graphic Design
Here’s a selection of fine art and graphic design work that showcases my design skills:
Graphic Design Projects
I bring a versatile approach to graphic design, combining digital tools and traditional artistry to create compelling visuals. As a prolific user of GIMP and a trained professional in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I excel in crafting designs that are both visually striking and purposeful.
My skill set spans graphic design, illustration, and painting, allowing me to adapt to a wide variety of projects and styles. From digital posters and album covers to hand-drawn illustrations and fine art, my work reflects creativity, precision, and attention to detail.
Squarespace Web Design Projects
During my 2022 Internship with Brent & Jo Studio, I worked on several Squarespace websites for small businesses and creative professionals. These projects allowed me to develop my skills in web design, focusing on user experience, mobile optimization, and visually compelling layouts tailored to each client’s needs.

My fine art projects reflect a deep connection to my Ojibwe heritage, celebrating Indigenous heroes from history and spiritual elements through vivid, imaginative storytelling. Working primarily in acrylic, I aim for a realistic style enriched with influences of surrealism, magical realism, and fantasy art, blending tradition with contemporary inspiration.
Many of my pieces draw from a rich tapestry of cultural and spiritual narratives, infused with elements of pop culture to bridge the past and present. Through my art, I seek to honor Indigenous identity while exploring themes of resilience, transformation, and wonder.
