  2. Pixel Art as Metaphor: Graduation as Leveling Up
    Most video games are built around progression. One of the most common mechanics is earning experience points to advance to the next level. “Level up” has become such a widely understood phrase that it translates easily across industries, as seen in this graduation-themed gift card for Target.

  3. Pixel Art as Metaphor: Fighting Battles
    This editorial illustration for About Health reimagines interventional radiology as a side-scrolling action game, with a miniature doctor running through the human body. Tumors and blockages are treated like in-game enemies, each requiring a different “weapon” to defeat. The pixel art style makes a complex medical topic feel accessible, playful, and easy to engage with.
