Hello!
I am a Multidisciplinary Designer living
in Denver, CO. Welcome to my corner of
the digital universe! I strive to provide striking
and clever solutions for your design needs.
My interests in optical illusions and brand identity inspire the direction I take with my self-driven work.
PROJECTS
My first typographic project to be turned into a usable font. Bowling Champ is chunky in all the right places. Created using a square grid and repeated simplistic elements. You can imagine this font being crafted into a neon store-front sign for a humble bowling alley / arcade.
The idea for this design was manifested during a sticker contest that Ampsock Custom Jackets had organized on their Instagram page. Through winning the contest, the owner reached out to me to refine my design into a mascot for their company. Vinny the Vinyl is a anthropomorphized record wearing a rain jacket with the tagline;
"We've got your vinyl covered!"
This was a project that I worked on for my father’s rental property company. Using his initials, I created a tagline "Just ASK", Taking advantage of this clever word-play for use as a catchphrase on business cards and other business related collateral.
When I discovered websites that print custom artwork on various clothing and products, I knew that I wanted to create a specific series of designs with a unified look and feel. From collecting a mass of public domain images/engraving from various online sources,
I collaged a collection of different images that combined vintage
and modern themes
ACT&SAT Mastery is a tutoring company that helps students prepare for the tests that can help shape their futures within higher education. This company is directed towards the demographic of parents looking to give their children the edge they need to succeed.
Designers use signs and
symbols to elicit concepts and connections within the minds of the intended audience. The theory of semiosis, proposed by Charles Sanders Pierce, explains the act
of interpreting signs, and how
our individual experience dictate these interpretations.
