I’m in a countercultural mood these days, less of a heraldry nerd and more of a “listens to old rock bands” nerd, so I decided to change my online branding once again.
Logo drawn by me.

Pathfinders and the New World (2026)
On the open sea, there is no government, no law, no war. It is a place where you can be the master of your own fate. This is the life the Sea Ronin have chosen.
From 2022 to 2026 I was the creative director of Pathfinders and the New World (also known as Pathsoul). This was an NFT project with ambitious plans for branching into games, animation, and other media. I was in charge of all worldbuilding, art direction, and narrative direction. (I’m not much of an NFT person, but they were nice people who paid me, so.)

I designed a business card to match my website redesign. (I’ve blanked out my phone number in case malicious web crawlers pick it up.)
Chess Defense (2020)
Chess Defense is a strategy game that blends chess with tower defense. It was made for an assignment to create a “classic game with a twist.” You can download it from my itch.io page.
Personal Coat of Arms (2019)
After playing Crusader Kings 2, I got interested in heraldry, a centuries-old artistic tradition that is strikingly similar to modern graphic design. I decided to try making a coat of arms for myself based on traditional English heraldic rules.
Here’s the blazon (the formal technical definition of the design, from which the image is derived):
Sable, on a bend Gules fimbriated Or, the symbol of Spades (as in a deck of playing cards) Or.
Mantling: Sable doubled Or.
Crest: From flames Gules a phoenix incensed rising with wings raised and extended Or.
Motto: “Arte Non Fortuna”
The vector linework was adapted from Wikimedia Commons.
Changi Booklet (2018)
Here’s a booklet design I made for class. Each image is supposed to be a 2-page spread.
AUNZ Logo (2018)
As you may know, I am was an avid Guild Wars 2 player. My guild, Aussie And New Zealand Flamers [AUNZ], recently hit a milestone of 100 players. The guild leader wanted to commission a logo to celebrate. I decided to design the logo ex gratia instead.
Here is the original boilerplate in-game icon for comparison:
Hark, My Name Is (2018)
For this class project, I had to render my name in a variety of different styles based on different contexts. I chose the RPG archetypes: fighter, rogue, cleric, and wizard.
REWIND (2017)
I made this time-rewinding browser game for a school project.
Debtzilla (2017)
During my internship at Capital Gains Studio, I was the primary graphic designer for Debtzilla. While Andimoo and Alan Bay provided the cartoon illustrations, I designed the logo, card layouts, and typography (with input from the client). I also helped with some rulebook wording and copy writing.
