Character & Costume Design
Where story meets silhouette.
This is a collection of original characters brought to life through costume, silhouette, and expression. Each piece explores identity, world-building, and story, often drawing from folklore, film, fashion, or myth. This work focuses on how design can reflect personality and purpose, from post-apocalyptic survivors to shapeshifters rooted in legend.
Nina: Costume Design from Sunset Baby
Caption: This is a costume study inspired by Sunset Baby by Dominique Morisseau. These two looks reflect pivotal moments in Nina’s journey—one, her guarded nightlife persona as she navigates survival; the other, a symbol of her turning point as she prepares to leave it all behind and reclaim her future. This design focused on character psychology, visual contrast, and narrative tone.

Daily Outfit
Mazzy’s everyday gear — practical, lightweight, and made for movement. Perfect for city scavenging and quick getaways.
Cold Weather
Built for frigid terrain and long-distance travel, this layered look balances warmth, stealth, and agility.
Hot Weather
Breathable, protective, and sun-ready — this outfit keeps her light on her feet in dry heat and open terrain.
Dressy/Formal
Clean lines with subtle armor — when survival calls for negotiation, infiltration, or blending in. A reminder that style doesn’t have to mean vulnerability.
Superpower Mode
When adrenaline spikes and something deeper kicks in — reinforced armor, enhanced mobility, and an edge that says, “don’t get close.”
Vireya: Character Design Project
Caption: Developed for a character design course, Vireya is a werewolf-inspired shapeshifter born from the fusion of Amazonian mythology and Skinwalker folklore. Her design reflects primal power, spiritual symbology, and a deep connection to the natural world. This project includes complete process work — from anatomical studies to final render — focusing on form, silhouette, and story.
