Slay | Bold Character Design, Women Empowerment and Dynamic Composition

   I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.
– Maya Angelou

Slay is bold character design with zero apologies. It explores women’s empowerment through dynamic composition, vibrant color, and unapologetic fierceness. A self-initiated project celebrating confidence that doesn’t shrink. The result: illustration that proves empowerment can kick ass and look damn good doing it.
