“When I look at the foothills I immediately think of San Jose, but also thought it’d be fun to convey San Jose’s diversity through classic characters and thought of the tortoise and the hare, plus a character to represent the strength of pararacers. I also tried to harness the energy of drawing characters and how much fun I had doing so as a child. This medal’s like a love letter to my hometown and the memories it continues to give me!”
