New Tubby Todd Packaging

I redesigned Tubby Todd’s packaging system. We created wave, bubble and liquid color blocking patterns, along with a vibrant color palette. The design was executed by myself as well as our senior designer.

Photography by Neighbors Creative and directed by me.

Chipper Things

I founded Chipper Things (2.0) in 2016, as I completed my Adobe Creative Residency. We launched with over 80 products, and now the line includes flowcharts, pins, hats, art prints, cards and more. We're in dozens of retail stores across the US and Canada.

I'm the creative director, web designer, social media manager (and content creator), illustrator, product developer, CEO, intern and everything in between.

THE ROOMMATE BOOK

The Roommate Book (published by Andrews McMeel, June 2016) is my second book. It’s an illustrated guide to making the most of roommate life. It’s full of flowcharts, art, short essays and hypotheticals  that celebrate friendship and roommate life.

Tubby Todd May Sale '21

Tubby Todd’s May Sale is the biggest sale of the year (along with Cyber Weekend). This year we decided to keep it fresh and clean with our custom-designed gradient backdrops that match our packaging. We also went all in on the texture shots. The result was beautiful!

31 Bits

I teamed up with 31 Bits to create packaging for their TOGETHER Campaign, launched on International Women's Day. They created a new bracelet as a simple reminder that nobody is a stranger when we stand TOGETHER.

I'D RATHER BE SHORT

I’d Rather Be Short  was written and illustrated by yours truly. This nifty book provides 100 of the greatest reasons to be small. It was published in 2013 by Plume Books (imprint of Penguin Random House). You can order online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound and Books-A-Million.

“5’1″ is the new 6’2″, and Becky’s book proves it.” —Kristen Bell

“As a fellow short person, reading I’d Rather Be Short was, in short, awesome.” —Ashley Rickards, star of MTV’s Awkward

Brit + Co Class

I collaborated with Brit + Co to create a beginner's online illustration course. I talk about inspiration, warm ups, sketching, digitizing, using Adobe Illustrator to manipulate shapes, adding color palettes and more. This is a great class for anyone interested in learning how to digitize their drawings, or just learn the basics of the program.

The class is available now. Sign up today!
