MATERIALS EXPERIENCE

A SAMPLING OF MY WORK WITH MATERIALS

PLASTIC

Transparency

This bright Spectre bike shows two different applications to note: transparent colored chain guard plastic and colored rubber tires. I also have experience with different densities of plastics.

Sparkle & Pearl

Plastic sparkle injections and pearl finishes are shown on this My Little Pony battery Ride-On.

Engineering Support

My illustration skills help tremendously when communicating. This is especially true when collaborating with engineering teams, such as when I requested we develop the ears on this kitty suitcase.

PAINT

My experience with paint stretches wide: liquid, powder, metallic, neon, mirror, and candy coats are some of the most notable. I also have experience with different finishes like matte, gloss, and pearl. 

Amazing effects can be achieved by experimenting with different layering and curing applications. When designing this KYRO bike, I kept the graphics on the frame minimal to the crackle effect shine.

FABRIC

FABRICS

In brick and mortar stores, consumers use physical touch to gauge the value of a product. Fabrics are a vital part of this first impression as well as overall functionality. Working with project managers and supplier factories, I have experience developing products with fabrics.

DEBOSS/EMBOSS

Graphic applications can be applied in many different ways. Forever trying to elevate my design without going over budget, I can provide creative solutions like debossing and embossing to achieve the desired look.

STITCHING

With one of my personal hobbies being sewing, projects that require stitching or cut-and-sew are no problem for me! I have developed many bag and saddle designs.
