This is my first spotlight design chosen for use by the Marvel SNAP team, for the Bloodstone season. This design was used as a template for the all other character and location spotlights for this season.


This was a Halloween-themed season about monsters and monster hunters, so I opted for a vintage horror movie vibe with a piece of film strip for the type container and two pieces of a torn movie poster for the borders, as well a sharp toothed mouth-like opening for the character container.

This spotlight was made for the Black Order season and used as a template for the rest of the spotlight designs for the season.


This season was themed around Thanos and his minions, and the design was inspired by the season’s key art, which used gold geometric lines and a dark planet in the background. The client preferred the borders from my coworker's proposed design, so we placed it in mine and the spotlight was approved by the Marvel SNAP team.

This spotlight was made for the Avengers Vs. X-Men season and used as a template for the rest of the spotlight designs for the season.


For this design, I went in an action-oriented direction, drawing speed lines for the borders and a blast shape for the character container. The client preferred the type lockup from my coworker’s proposed design, so we placed it in mine and the spotlight was approved by the Marvel SNAP team.

This spotlight was made for A Blink In Time season and used as a template for the rest of the spotlight designs for the season.


This season was based on the Exiles comics from Marvel, and is themed around Blink, the leader of a team of alternate versions of Marvel characters that hop around different realities using Blink's portals to save the multiverse. I used one of the portals I created for my proposed design for this season's key art as the character container, and I really like how it turned out. The type lockup is one of my favorites as well.

This spotlight was made for the Maximum Effort season and used as a template for the rest of the spotlight designs for that season.


This season coincided with the theatrical release of Marvel Studios 'Deadpool & Wolverine', and I was excited to use my illustrative skills to create more of Deadpool's doodles, and create a spotlight design much like the alternative key art I previously made for this season. It was a lot of fun creating unique hand-drawn type lockups for each character and location, as well as a unique set of doodles themed around each character.
