Hey Everyone!
I thought I’d share a little about the real person behind the computer.
I started my journey studying fine art, which transferred to multimedia design, and eventually to instructional technology. This background is key to my passion for creating visuals that communicate with people and designing characters that make readers feel things (e.g., fire emojis, NSFW comments LOL).
When you work with 80 Mode, you’re not working with a faceless AI tool. You’re working with someone who has 20+ years of creative experience, genuine passion for your vision, and meticulous attention to detail (who might be munching on cheese puffs while working 😁).
Your character deserves a real person who cares. 🖤✨
Got a character living in your head? Let’s make them real. Bio link!
She’s always been the “good girl”.
Until she saw him.
She knows she shouldn’t.
But tonight, she’s going to anyway.
We’ve all had that moment, right? When you see someone and suddenly all your rules go out the window. 😎🙌
Care to share a “good girl gone bad” moment? Tell us in the comments! 💕
And if you’ve got a story or character moment like this in mind, head to our bio to chat about your project! We’d love to help! 🖤✨
They touched his woman.
Big mistake.
Now he’s coming for them.
With his sword.
And absolutely no mercy. 🔥
This is a Highlander on a mission. Protective. Fierce. Absolutely unstoppable.
Drop a 🔥if you love “touch her and d!e” heroes!

Lucian has a magic trick up his sleeve.

Designing Convict 💀💜
This was such a fun collaborative journey! From “hot video guy” placeholder to the final “chaotic messy boy”, we worked with Jolie and her amazing reader group to design Roscoe “Convict” Locke, Jolie’s latest book boyfriend in Convict’s Game of the Skeleton Crew series.
The process? Community votes and feedback on every detail: his face, his scars, his tattoos, and other juicy traits from the book.
Big thanks to Jolie Vines and her Fall Hard Facebook Group for making this design process such a blast! 🖤

Client Spotlight: Lyndsey Gallagher (L. A. Gallagher)
Author @lyndseygallagherauthor turns up the heat in her Beckett Brothers Series—where forbidden romance, filthy-talking billionaires, and alpha energy collide.
I had the pleasure of designing and animating two unforgettable brothers: James, the notorious playboy CEO from Wreck Me, and Sean, the “quiet one” with a secret BDSM club from Reveal Me. Together, we brought some of their most high-voltage moments to life—equal parts seductive, raw, and utterly addictive.
Follow Lyndsey for more high-intensity drama, forbidden desires, and alpha heroes you’ll never forget. 🔥
