Ramenfest is an event organized by Vicarious Events that took place December 2, 2016 in Jacksonville, Fl where nine chefs representing local restaurants prepared their take on the classic Japanese noodle dish. For the event, I created info-graph placemats, logo & signage for the participating chefs, and passport books which included a spread where attendees got their booklet stamped at each ramen stall.

Skulltober is a daily illustration project I completed for the month of October 2015 where I illustrated a themed skull each day—partly in participation of my own digital version of Inktober, but also to help myself get into the festive Halloween spirit. Inspiration for themes range from classic horror movie monsters, general Halloween-related subjects, and other personal favorite subjects.

I had to opportunity to design merchandise for Nat & Alex Wolff, a pop duo consisting of two brothers, to coincide with the release of their new album, Public Places. I created intricate illustrations surrounding photos of the brother—taking key from their dreamy, nostalgic, and stripped-back sound on their new album.

This is a series of illustrations I created to coincide with the release of Together EP by THUMPERS, a London-based indie pop duo. Each of the four graphics represent a track from the EP. Although the graphics were originally created to be displayed online, I eventually decided to create tactile versions by screen printing them onto fabric.

Skeleton Boy and Hurting are two singles released from the British indie rock band, Friendly Fires. For this release, the vinyl singles are packaged and accompanied by a limited edition cutout poster.

The unique poster is cutout from a sheet of vinyl to portray the simultaneous complexity and clarity of the band’s sound. The die cut aspect is applied to the packaging as well in order to keep the sets stylistically unified.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This novel recounts the mysterious death of a family head and the resulting battle for his inheritance. Sherlock Holmes is introduced to the scene to solve the crime.

Themes of duality are dominant in this novel as well as colliding themes such as fact vs. fiction and light vs. darkness. The cover design represents these aspects in a mysterious manner to match the overall tone of the novel.

The idea for this collaboration project stemmed from the fact that not many people know the origin of the 12 Zodiac signs. Working alongside my friend and fellow designer, Lauren Trump, we explained the origin of the Zodiac constellations with an animated feature.
