Sketchy People
Sketchy People was an NFT project built around a simple idea: creating equity and accessibility for immigrants and the children of immigrants. Though the project never launched, it had ambitious plans in the works — future events, drops, and even a convention on the horizon.
The project founders drew heavy inspiration from 90s anime, manga, video games, and pop culture. I modeled, composited, and rendered the GIF above in Blender. I drew illustrations below in Procreate and composited them in Photoshop.
With 44 hats, 7 pieces of eyewear, 11 heads, 66 tops, 10 bodies, and 9 backgrounds, the project allows for 20,756,880 unique combinations.
The gallery below features 20 of the 50 made for the initial friends and family run.
Underneath the gallery sits a randomizer where you can build your own Sketchy Person!
B/R Spectrum was a YouTube pilot program conceived to bring independent creator channels under the Bleacher Report umbrella — a win-win designed to amplify both the creators' audiences and Bleacher Report's own reach. The project never made it to launch, but the vision was fully realized in its development.
The visual identity was a collaboration with motion designer Jordan Coelho, whose signature cosmic aesthetic became the backbone of the brand. I handled the concept, art direction, and project management end-to-end — from hand-picking the YouTube creators we'd partner with, to doing the sound design for the intro and end slates that Jordan brought to life visually. What started as BR Curiosities evolved into the bold, kaleidoscopic world you see here: fluid color, kinetic energy, and a look that felt as expansive as the range of voices it was built to showcase.
