Custom Illustration Library

Tech

2026
Commissioned by philanthropic funder Coefficient Giving, Project Tailwind required a cohesive library of hand-drawn visual assets to power a public microsite inspiring new AI safety organizations. I delivered 45 bespoke digital artworks; spanning a homepage hero banner, 7 category headers, and 37 spot illustrations—tailored specifically for dynamic web layouts. The entire design system was conceptualized, illustrated, and finalized on a rapid timeline of under 45 days.

Commissioned by AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Jacky Winter. This project establishes a library of custom illustration assets designed to humanize technical topics and translate them into visual brand stories. Building on the AWS brand system created by the GBCE Team, my work embraced a dynamic personality to expand visual expression and vividly communicate the narrative behind AWS products and technology.

My strategy effectively captured the technology's unsettling nature while carefully avoiding overt promiscuity.Art directed by Michael Bucher
