Commissioned Artwork

ART DIRECTION  ✷  2021-2023

I had the pleasure of working with nearly 60 artists in the span of two years at The Walrus, with a focus on working with emerging artists. I collaborated closely with artists to ensure that their work aligned with the themes and moods of accompanying articles, and that each illustration fits for different formats (including print, desktop, mobile and social media). Below is a selection of some of the illustrations made under my art direction.
