Short Rest Society • Selbstständig
Apr 2025 - Present • 1 yr 1 mo
I write and illustrate original homebrew content for Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Daggerheart, developing campaign frameworks, ancestries, species, minigames, and narrative tools that expand collaborative storytelling at the table. I create digital TTRPG assets including illustrated icons, token frames, textured backgrounds, and decorative borders. I develop a signature cozy-craft style by combining handmade textures—such as masking tape and shoe polish—with digital illustration techniques, creating a distinctive scrapbook-inspired aesthetic. I also produce short-form videos and animation for social media to promote my work and engage the tabletop community. Through my Patreon project, Short Rest Society, I write, design, and illustrate original tabletop RPG content, blending strong visual identity with thoughtful game mechanics. Each release combines art, storytelling, and system design to create immersive, playable worlds. The project operates as an independent, community-supported creative studio focused on crafting imaginative, well-designed experiences. In addition, I work as a professional Game Master for Dungeons & Dragons 5e and accept freelance commissions for game art and TTRPG design assets.

I managed college publications and websites, maintained the college events calendar, and created and monitored social media content as needed. I ensured consistent brand presentation across departments, programs, research centers, student organizations, and external partners.

Additionally, I wrote news articles, promotional materials, and press releases, and provided direction and mentorship to the Junior Graphic Designer.

Alan was able to take a design that I've had for several years and breath new life into it! Incredible work and amazing sense of detail. It's hard to argue with results!
