Everyday Joy in Motion — Editorial

Editorial Illustration Playbook, Inkygoodness

This personal project was created for a brief by Libby VanderPloeg, inviting us to illustrate the small joys of everyday life in motion. I chose to focus on inner joy—the intimate, deeply personal feeling that arises in the simplest gestures: a gentle breeze on the skin, floating effortlessly in water, becoming one with music. Through this series of spot illustrations, I explored how these subtle experiences can be true moments of lightness and presence, reflecting my tendency to experience life in a deeply introspective and sensory way.

Inner Sight — Fine Art Illustration

Personal fine art illustration titled "Inner Sight," inspired by a sketch from Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s Red Book. The artwork visualizes the quote “Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes,” exploring a key concept of psychoanalytic research through optical illusion, symbolic imagery, and a rich, layered color palette.

Illustrating Sound — Intent Recordings

An ongoing creative collaboration with Intent Recordings, an independent house music label based between Berlin and St. Louis. This is one of my most treasured personal projects, as it is a collaboration with my husband, music producer Gene Siewing. For each cover, I aim to capture the essence of his sound and translate it into a visual narrative, conveying its mood and energy while maintaining a cohesive visual language. Most pieces are painted on canvas or created through a mix of acrylic and digital techniques. I also designed the label’s logo, shaping a visual identity that reflects the music’s cultural roots, expressiveness, and immersive character.
