Graphic designer. I've worked on marketing teams most of career but after I lost my last job I tried freelancing. That was shortly before the pandemic started so that plan ended up fizzling out. I've been living on whatever few contracts I can land and gig work ever since.
I'm not a big Star Wars fan but I really enjoyed Andor. The depictions were on-point because they drew inspiration from actual history (1917 Revolution, Palestine, ANC, Haitian revolution, etc). Oh and the heist storyline was inspired by the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery.
