Below are some of my design work, sketches, and even fan art. While not everything on here would end up becoming part of a game, the design process was all the same.
Personal Fantasy
This is concept art for a game idea called Personal Fantasy. It's a game about a transgender woman that recently transitioned, and is thus still trying to confront her identity. The idea behind it is that it would have been an RPG game, in where during battle she imagines herself as her ideal self and fights in a turn-based format.
Fan Works
This is more general fanwork of screenshots from Final Fantasy XIV Online. While there is an in-game Photo Mode, I sometimes like to go one step beyond and use Photoshop to change up the context of these images.

My love for making characters caused me to grown quite attach to mine
As a result, I did creative projects like these to flesh her out
I tend to reference a lot of my favorite works to give me a base.
In this case, Yakuza 0's Kiryu gave me the idea of making a stoic and loyal character.

These cutscene recreations gave me a chance to play around with potential UI ideas
I'm used to a visual novel format style for my work, so it was fun to not be bounded by standard conventions for this experiment.
In a way, it was kind of like lettering a comic book.
With help from my sister, we decided to recreate a cutscene shot to shot
The photo mode in FFXIV is great-although I admit I never had a passion for photography
There's a lot of shots facing the table from behind June's back. I actually wanted to play around with different angles rather than making it consistent.
This shot follows up a screenshot from the game itself.
I decided not to include it in here, as it still works within context.
The signage below is from my time working at the NYU Laguardia Co-op. Many of these were advertisements for events and/or services that we offer to clients. The majority of these were created in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
