“DEANNE” an art toy named after my mother. The idea for this figure came from a transitional period in my life which had me evaluate my own thoughts and choices on the future.
It’s only by chance that this figure looks like me, it was never the intention but cool nonetheless. I see this project as a physical manifestation of my commitment to exploration, in both nature and within myself.
With life; and even ourselves being unpredictable, one needs to be ready for anything. This need for traversal is represented by the figure’s attire and interchangeable heads.

An ongoing exploration of my interest in time and clocks.
The image reflects my current state of being where it feels as if life’s challenges are seemingly endless and numerous. A constant struggle in the pursuit of understanding.

This sourced picture frame clock blends functionality with personal expression. Designed to hold a cherished image while displaying the time, temperature, and date, it transforms a simple desk accessory into a narrative piece. The clean lines and minimalist design ensure the focus remains on the photograph, while the digital clock subtly grounds the frame in the present moment.

A zine I designed for the development agency I’m apart of, Scope of Work “SOW”.
This zine is centered around my view of photography and my current state of being. I intended this to be a look into how I think and compose ideas.
