About this gig

Most board game and card game projects fail not because the art is bad, but because the designer never thought about how the game actually plays. I design board games and card games with both sides in mind custom illustration that fits your theme, and structure that holds up once people are actually sitting at the table.


What you get: original card and character illustration, board game or card game box design, layout for rulebooks, and design support for game mechanics if you're still refining how the game works. I work with indie designers, tabletop hobbyists, and Kickstarter creators who need files that are ready for print or crowdfunding, not just concept art.



If you already have a theme and rules, I'll bring the visual identity to life. If you're starting from an idea, I can help shape the mechanics alongside the design. Either way, you'll get a tabletop or card game that looks finished and plays the way you intended.


Send me your game concept, theme, and any reference material, and let's build something players will actually want to play.

I design board games and card games from concept to print-ready files mechanics, card illustration, character art, box design, and rulebooks. I work with indie designers and Kickstarter creators who need a partner that understands the structural side of game design, not just decorative art. Whether you need full board game design, custom card game illustration, or a polished prototype ready for crowdfunding, I focus on mechanics that work and art that holds up at the table. If you have a concept, I can help turn it into something players actually want to play.
