The bottom 5 prints my favorite prints that were made in a series of 40 prints. I made these to show the difference a short period of time can make and how fast environments can change, resulting in different outcomes that are drastic. All 40 prints were made in one sitting and the changes and differences between the whole series is huge. This series and project made me fall in love with gelli plate printing.
Prints
Printmaking was a hyper fixation medium for me within the years of 2018 - 2021. During those years, all I would do is make prints.

The bottom 5 prints were a series that showcased the light that would change through my room throughout the day. It was created during quarantine where I would spend my whole day in my room creating prints.

Sketchbooks
I inconsistently keep a sketchbook, however I have made it a habit to carry one with me wherever I go, especially when I travel. Here are some of my favorite pages over the past few years.

Doodles
My most recent way to keep my creative juices flowing has been doing little doodles.
π¨ created with pen and my crazy daily activities
A little fun fact is that I had teal hair at the time, and lots of these characters in my cartoons are defined by the hair color I assigned them. The cartoon on the right with teal hair was how I looked when I would show up in my own cartoons, or when I drew cartoons of myself. It was a great way to explore simple character design on my own time.
Lots of the cartoons are still up and can be found on this instagram account.
Mandyβs Universe
A style of character that I created throughout my senior year of high school. A time where I desperately needed a new creative outlet, I created a character style to make an online comic series. I drew my life in the form of a character that I have created. I was able to make commissions off of drawing other people in cartoon form, I also utilized this cartoon form to raise money for charity, drawing commissions and donating all the profits.

Graphic Design
Before focusing on product and ux design, I was a graphic design major and did some graphic design work here and there. I made logos and graphics for a club on campus called Founders.
