For this artist, building a career in food illustration means balancing work with mom-and-pop restaurants with commercial work
, which was super fun. I’m very, very happy with that collaboration. We have been fans of each other for many years and finally we were able to make it happen., where I sell merch. I like useful gifts, so instead of coming out with prints, I started with kitchen tea towels in fruit patterns. With a tea towel, you can keep it as a piece of artwork or use it to wipe your counter. I really like the duality of that.
In my previous full-time job, I spent the past few years working on websites for Google, Spotify, Nike, and Converse. For 2023, the goal is to be able to create websites for restaurants and food brands and beverage brands. I want to bring those two worlds closer to each other. That’s what I’m aiming to do.What did you originally want to do when you started your career?
I thought I wanted to be a brand designer, focusing on visual identity. So creating logos, choosing color palettes, working on typography and iconography, illustrating — all of the elements that make up the visual identity. Then things progressed in a different way.I grew tired of working on branding projects, so I transitioned to UI/UX, which then led to becoming a product designer.
And I had always, even in college, admired people that were in the illustration branch of the program. I was like,There was this project called the 100 Day Project and I just decided that I was going to draw a different food item every day for a hundred days straight. The caveat was it shouldn’t take me more than 20 or 30 minutes. It would be something that I would do on my lunch break.
Because it was something that I was doing in the office, it just made sense for it to be digital instead of drawing or painting. That’s how I ended up working digitally, which also made me feel more comfortable illustrating something that wasn’t completely realistic — it was more like my take on it. A hundred days later I was like, ‘Dang, I really freaking enjoyed this.’During that first year after getting my green card in 2020, anytime I would get a project felt like a really big win.
