Do you know that feeling when your brain juggles 47 different character arcs, subplots, and a love triangle involving a demon, an angel, and some cosmic catastrophe? Yeah, me too. After countless nights wrestling with dialogue and wondering if I should let the villain wear sunglasses indoors, I realized that my brain was fried. I’m talking “forgot-what-day-it-is, fried.
So, I did what any creative person would do when they’re feeling pooped from plot twists: I pivoted. Enter graphic design!
Why graphic design, you ask? Well, after spending so much time crafting cinematic worlds, I thought, “Hey, wouldn’t it be fun to make visual things without worrying if the protagonist's tragic backstory is believable?” Plus, who doesn’t want to see stimulating colors, right? I get to turn ideas into visuals and make people say, “Whoa, that looks cool!” instead of “Wait, why did the talking shadow betray the hero again?”
And here’s the thing. I’m now officially offering graphic design services! Whether you need social media graphics, multimedia ads, or that perfect design to tell your story without words, I’ve got you covered.
So, while my screenwriting is on a little vacation (hopefully throwing back shots somewhere in my subconscious), I’m here to help make your projects shine visually. And who knows? Maybe one of those designs will inspire the next great screenplay.
Until then, grab your popcorn and get ready for some stunning visuals!
Graphic design may not have plot holes, but it sure has punchlines. Let’s create something epic together!
