Inside my Sandbox

My creative sandbox is a collection of the projects, passions, and ideas that inspire me beyond my everyday work. It’s where I experiment, explore new skills, and follow the threads of creativity just to see where they lead. Some of my best ideas start here.

Exploring Ideas

    How Many Hearts Do You Have? is a heartfelt tale about unconditional love and a hero's greatest strength. This story emphasizes the importance of kindness and the power of empathy. All illustrations were done by Monika Marzec.

Avery Dylan Photography & Design

Named after my first born niece and first born nephew, Avery Dylan Photography & Design is where my passion in fine arts first moved into a digital space before starting a career in graphic design.

Photography has always complemented my design work, shaping the way I see color, composition, and the emotional impact art can evoke. I see the world the same way I dream—in vivid colors and raw emotion.
