The Robin's Nest coloring book
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (2024)
I designed this coloring book based on my team member Autumn's text file, starting with a storyboard to ensure the style and illustrations effectively conveyed the story’s concept. Once the storyboard was approved by the team, I began drawing each page with separate line and color layers in Photoshop. The book was designed for both coloring and a full-color version for school students. Later in the year, the book was translated into Spanish.
This book was created to supplement the Department’s 1st-grade lesson unit on Washington baby wildlife. It is a re-telling of an old English fable using Washington birds to create a sense of relevance and connection to children, families, and educators. The book aims to introduce young children to differences in the way birds build nests, forming a foundation for building nature observation skills.

I designed this coloring book by first drawing the illustrations on my iPad, then refining the lines in Adobe Illustrator and laying out the pages in InDesign. The book is designed to educate the public about the mutual importance of trees and people, highlighting why trees are essential to us and how we play a crucial role in their care and preservation.

Environmental design
Zoland Animation, China (2012)
I drew these environmental illustrations over 10 years ago for the animation Highway Battle. The scenes depict a futuristic city, both during the day and night, as well as Monster Valley. These illustrations were designed to capture the mood and atmosphere of each environment, blending futuristic architecture with dynamic lighting and detailed landscapes.
Aquatic Reserve Decals
Washington department of Natural resources (2022)
I created detailed illustrations for stickers and PowerPoint presentations, focusing on accurately representing various species. The design process involved collaborating closely with biologists, providing multiple iterations to ensure the biological accuracy of each species. Each version was refined based on their feedback, resulting in visually engaging, scientifically precise illustrations for educational and professional use.
