Illustration System

The illustration system was crafted by Josh Lafayette and myself over time.

We made a lot of intentional choices to make sure the whole team could pick up and create new illustrations within the GL style.

About me

I started out designing by creating custom myspace pages and photoshopping memes of friends. Now the projects are a biiiiit larger, but the joy remains.

Outside of work, I'm always up for competitive play, like playing Rocket League, Spikeball, and Volleyball.
