This section showcases a vinyl installation project I completed on a trailer. While I didn’t design the artwork itself, I was responsible for applying the vinyl to the trailer’s surface, ensuring precise alignment and a smooth, professional finish. The installation process required attention to detail, as I carefully worked to eliminate air bubbles, wrinkles, and imperfections, achieving a seamless look that highlights the graphic design beautifully.
This custom design for the boat Loonatic was created in collaboration with the owners to bring their vision to life.

The loon’s graceful lines and striking markings are intricately detailed to make it a standout feature.
This project involved redesigning an aggressive, eye-catching "angry panda" graphic for a car, with a focus on upgrading the quality and durability of the vinyl.

I enhanced the illustration's contrast, fine-tuned the line work, and selected a vibrant color palette to make the graphic truly stand out.
