Sora, VENUSIAN SULPHUR RUNNER
Helionis is a neo-futuristic, floating city suspended high above Venus' uninhabitable surface, where the atmosphere is suitable for human life. Held up by decades-old pillars, the city thrives as humanity’s last refuge on the planet, driven by a sulphur-based economy. The city’s golden haze reflects the harsh beauty of its surroundings, with sleek upper districts for the privileged ("The Stratos") and decaying industrial zones ("The Tiers") where workers toil to sustain it. Resource scarcity fosters tension between social classes, while unpredictable storms and atmospheric threats constantly challenge the city's stability.
Sora, a Sulphur Runner from The Tiers, flies her ship across the city transporting resources to keep businesses and neighborhoods running. As an average grunt working in Helionis, she can only dream of bringing social equality to her city and having a more stable life on the harsh planet of Venus.

Treasured Inc. Mascot Character Project (2020-2021)
Treasured Mascots Promotional Pixel Animation
This project was created as part of during my internship at Treasured Inc., where I was tasked with designing a set of mascots to reflect the company’s brand identity. The mascots were developed to represent the brand’s family-orientated mission and positive values while boosting engagement on their social media platforms. Focusing on evoking the company's focus on community and family, I created 6 final designs of a close-knit group of friends: Earl, Hugo, Noel, Poncho, Spark and Stanley.

JIRAI KEI COLLEGE STUDENT
Final Render
I designed a cheerful and stylish female college student who loves wearing Jirai Kei fashion - a Japanese fashion style that is known for soft, feminine looks that also embodies an edgy, romantic aesthetic. Her girly and fun personality is reflected in her bright pink clothes, bow and heart accessories and flirty pose. Through this project, I honed my skills in human anatomy, clothing rendering, and cell shading, focusing on capturing both the intricate details of her outfit and the expressiveness of her character.
