Faces of Sybil Poster
April 2017
My first project after graduating college. I had just moved to a new city and wanted to decorate my apartment. I did a search for some cardistry theme decoration and, at the time, there were none around. I figured I would just make my own and that maybe others would want some too. So I reached out to an old high school friend who is an amazing artist and created a kickstarter to make these posters.
Royal Magic Poster
July 2017
After the success of the Faces of Sybil poster, I had the idea to create another poster in a very different style. I reached out to a friend who knew an incredible artist and I commissioned this poster next. Entirely hand-drawn and painted with acrylic.
Technicolor Playing Cards
August 2017
It's every cardist's dream to have their own deck of playing cards. With the market for custom decks so saturated I wanted to make something different. I was inspired by Tobias Levin's hand painted cards but wanted to add my own spin on them which is when I got the idea to make hand splattered cards custom made to order with whatever colors people wanted. It was a super labor intensive process but the outcome was very worth it.

Liquids: Ocean Blue
February 2018
After the hand painted cards, I turned my attention on cardistry trainers. I thought it would be very interesting to add one more element of movement to an already movement based art form. After months of trial and error I developed Liquids: a cardisty trainer with moving liquids inside.
Amber, Green, Purple Liquids
May 2018
The community received the first iteration of Liquids so well that I quickly improved the process and made them in 3 more colors.
Sands
August 2018
I was so excited with the prospect of filling trainers with liquid that I started to brainstorm other things to fill them with. I came up with Sands. These were great in theory but very difficult to build and honestly I feel like they needed more R&D before releasing.
Split Liquids
September 2018
I really wanted to make Liquids with multiple colors but couldn't find a way to have them mix and stay different colors. I came up with a way to add a barrier down the center of them so I could have 2 different colors. I also improved the design so there would be zero chance of leakage.
Dual Liquids
January 2019
The final iteration of Liquids (so far). I put everything I've learned over the years in creating these to make my most proudest creation yet. 2 colors intertwined, no chance of leaking, no evaporating, and the thinnest trainer possible. I am considering restarting this line but the process to make them is so labor intensive I am reluctant to dive in again.
