In 2022 I was creative director, illustrator, and production artist for a trading card game that saw a rapid level of success.
I was in charge of all branding, packaging design, pattern generation, holographic isolation, print production, and advertising.
This project achieved $450,000 between 2 Kickstarters and 3 mini-sets due to my involvement.

I worked on a variety of collaboration cards for various celebrities within the industry. This one was made for Berner from Cookies.
Alpha Deck - Packaging Design
The initial deck created for the game - I designed & laid-out the boxes this first set was delivered in, and built a branded theme from one supplied logo.
High Spirits - Full Set & Social Media Campaign
For the High Spirits set, I designed all of the packaging and introduced myself as a featured artist for the game. I designed the identity of the set, created the card layouts & color options based on each style or theme of the types of characters. I illustrated a series of original characters, and promoted the artists altogether under one social media post that had a wide reach in the trading card game community.
Winter Blazed - Full set, Packaging & Advertising
Despite a lead artist and close friend taking an exit from the game after the release of High Spirits, I stayed involved and continued my tasks. I illustrated a set of cards and performed the same tasks I did for High Spirits on an even shorter timeline.
NCL Packs - Packaging Design & Advertisement
Despite being gatekept as a lead artist - overnight, I was instructed that I needed to layout and design the entire branded packaging for the 'NCL' series packs. Without any reference outside of a knockoff logo, I built an entire identity within 12 hours; between the playmats and the final-delivery packaging - the entire campaign video was the source of it all. The NCL packaging project was final before being exiled by the owner.
