Charleston — Peach Salad & Happy Hour
A Friday happy hour at Renaissance Charleston—peach salad, wine, and live music—became an illustrated travel memory.

After I shared the salad in an Instagram story, artist Branden Sherman challenged me to animate it. I created the illustration and animation as a personal project inspired by the stay.
