The Collected with Love identity was done for a local florist/wedding coordinator. The main objective was to create a card that was unique and and could stand out but didn't alienate the target audience. Since the name is more abstract I thought to have a visual connection to the product through vintage illustrations of floral arrangements that give the identity more of an elegant look.
For this project, I was tasked with creating assets for the Emmy winning musical special Jesus Christ Superstar Live. I chose to focus on the ’60s/70’s concert aesthetic for t-shirt mockups as the countdowns while using engaging assets like shareable coloring book assets.
This logo is for a photographer friend of mine that specializes in outdoor/action sport photography. He wanted something that was iconic but at the same time showed that his focus is shooting and being outdoors and that had a forest service type feel. We also knew we wanted to have imagery of mountains and forest but wanted them simplified.

This project was to take the trailer for a proposed television show and create a mobile game to accompanying the launch of the show. The show "Space Stallions" follows a group of heroes that use music as their weapons as they battle Destructo in exotic space settings as they worship mother mustang for guidance. The show is heavily based on a 80's style synth music and subject matter so the games are meant to follow that aesthetic. Some of the bonus levels follow an 8 Bit style while others you can connect with friends and use the Stallions all together. Being as the show is so focused on music the game itself creates music through multiple level styles. Think Guitar hero meets Thundercats. These are some sample screens of what the proposed game would look like.
This project was to raise awareness of child slavery in Africa and sponsorship for children across the world. I chose to make the slavery awareness posters intense and engaging while keeping the sponsorship posters hopeful and bright.

The United Way Team Challenge site was a proposed website that would encourage young adults from the community to create fundraising groups and raise money for specific causes while gaining support from local businesses. These badges were designed to serve as benchmarks along the fundraising path for the groups participants.
This project was for a youth based program aimed at getting young adults to give up eating for 30 hours and help raise funds and awareness for children that are starving in Africa. The goal was to make it on point with current youth trends in terms of visuals and also compelling enough to gain support.
Borrowing heavily from the aesthetic of comic book panels this redesign breathes a sense of content appropriateness and energy into a previously stagnant site. The goal was to make it more engaging to the audience while introducing a more social community aspect.
UNDERGRADUATE PROJECT
For this project we were asked to examine a local area of the Detroit community. Through extensive research and examination, we were to find the vernacular for the area. Each card was to depict 15 different categories such as animals relative to the area, and stereotypes of the area, to name a few. My location was a cheap grocery store.

This site and event logo is for Will Ferrell's Desert Showdown, a 2 day annual celebrity charity event that combines a day of golf, The Will Powered Golf Classic. As well as a tennis exhibition with some of the world's best tennis players, Desert Smash at the famous La Quinta resort. The concept was to have a landing page site that would promote the event and give the user all the information needed to attend in a simple easy to use format. Dividing the page into two sections, golf and tennis was the most logical solution.
