I worked with iconic 100+ year old San Francisco race, Bay To Breakers, to develop a system for their brand and illustration design from sketches to final asset creation used by the brand, partner agencies, and sponsors! My work is featured across medals, race event collateral, official t-shirts, murals along the race route, and more!

Adobe filmed an advertisement at my home studio where I showcased my virtual background designs created using their apps for remote work. My comfortability on camera and VO skills made the filming process smooth and fun! The footage and VO were turned into tutorials that are now featured on Adobe's website! The ad is shown to millions across the world in a variety of languages.
