Anyone But You, 2023 - ★★★½

Sometimes, a lighthearted romance driven solely by the actors' chemistry is more than enough to bring a smile to my face.

The Commission 00005-Strathmere Leather by Aaron Aiken

Once again commissioned by Aaron, I was tasked with designing a logo to serve as a website header for his brand, "Strathmere Leather." This time, the goal was to create a logo that embodies the entire brand identity, moving beyond the product-specific design of the previous Ocean Front logo. The challenge lies in balancing simplicity with the luxurious feel of handmade leather craftsmanship. Initial Concepts and Inspirations

Love, Simon, 2018 - ★★★★

I didn't feel much for the romantic aspect of this film; however, the speeches from each parent were incredibly powerful. It's something people in the community would have loved to hear from their own parents. I felt it in my soul when she said, "You get to exhale now, Simon." What a great scene!!

The Commission 00004-Ocean Front Leather Bags by Aaron

Technically, it’s not a commission since I was the one who saw Aaron's post about his latest product line, "Ocean Front," and loved the name so much that I couldn't resist designing a lettering for it. When I saw the words "Ocean Front," the image of waves immediately came to mind. The name should flow like the waves, so I used the typeface Aaron had already visualized, made it more fluid, and adjusted the slant to align with the waves.

The Wallpaper 00002-The Love of My Life is the Love for My LifeThe Wallpaper 00002 - The Love of My Life is the Love for My Life

I've offered this as a free wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and PC. However, donating a little would mean a lot to me as I am saving up for a new iPad as my birthday present this month. In a world where we are often taught to seek validation from others, most people believe they need someone to fulfill their lives, thinking they must find the missing piece of their heart to feel truly loved.

The Commission 00003-Wallpapers for Vincent Ritter

Vincent tried to help me get a new iPad (and you can help too!), so he gave me a tip that made me feel over the moon when I saw the amount. I wanted to show my gratitude with some lettering, but he didn’t give me any brief, so I had to wing it myself! Then, I remembered he mentioned liking red before, so I used a deep red and brown color scheme.

My Newfound Appreciation for the Song "Oblivion" by Bastille

The song "Oblivion" by Bastille has always held a special place in my heart since its release. When you fall asleep with your head upon my shoulder When you're in my arms but you've gone somewhere deeper Are you going to age with grace? Are you going to age without mistakes? Are you going to age with grace? Or only to wake and hide your face? When oblivion is calling out your name You always take it further than I ever can When you play it hard and I try to follow you there It's not about control, but I turn back when I see where you go Are you going to age with grace?

The Wallpaper 00001-Fear Less, Progress, Live More

I've offered this as a free wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and PC. However, if you could donate a little, it would mean a lot to me as I am saving up for a new iPad as my birthday present this month. I love the word "fearless," but eliminating fear is impossible. Instead, we’d be better off focusing on being less fearful and taking steps toward a more meaningful life.

Uranus 2324, 2024 - ★★★½

"Uranus 2324" is a movie that really caters to fans of a certain on-screen couple, but if you're looking for a strong storyline as a whole, you might be disappointed. The space operations scenes are some of the worst I've ever seen, with no sense of urgency at all. The editing, score, dialogue, and line deliveries all fall flat. Let’s just say they left the sense of urgency back on Earth.

Death Is a Collective Grief That Brings Families Together

Grandma is dying; there’s no way around it. She’s already 94 years old, so no one is surprised, and we’ve all been preparing for it in our own ways for a long time. Still, when the doctor said she had less than a month, putting a definite deadline on something we were too scared to think about, it made us realize that it’s really happening and not just some arbitrary prediction anymore.
