Digital Design
2017
_______
Series of posters promoting an upcoming showcase for a New York-based musician, DJ Immaculate Styles.
These digital designs are meant to replicate what a physical poster would like after it’s exposed to outdoor elements. Severe sunlight dulls the typography and crisps up the edges of the page, heavy rain causing the colors to bleed and fuse together.")

Album Design
2017
_______
Brazilian punk band Low High sought imaginative, divergent packaging for their sophomore album \"Act Normal.\" The compositions on the cover and inside booklet reflect themes discussed on the album including heartbreak, impatience, displacement and self-discovery.
I wanted each collage to feel unsettling and unusual. My own handwriting is used all through the packaging to help humanize the design and soften its eccentricity.")

Print Design
2019
_______
Melvina Masterminds is an organization empowering students in the arts. In September 2019, they partnered with entertainer Hannibal Buress to host a charity comedy show at the famed Chicago Theatre.
The process behind this design was a fun exploration in photo editing where I merged photography with colorful overlays and layers of vintage textures. By adding in handwritten bits, I’m able to break up the text and establish a visual hierarchy that highlights important details, like appearances by Lil Rel Howery and Vic Mensa, more clearly.")

Book Design
2020
_______
Cover art and complete interior design for a collection of poems written by sailor-turned-poet Duff Dryja. He pulls from his experiences at sea to offer the reader thoughtful poems that both critique and celebrate love.
Each poem in the book is paired with a photograph taken by the author: shots of oceans, sailboats, sunsets and aquatic wildlife compliment every verse. I designed these images to look like they were torn from scrapbooks and journals and glued into the pages of this book. The cover art supports this same aesthetic, combining multiple photos and textures to shape a vibrant interpretation of Duff’s words.
Please Wild Lover is available now at Barnes & Noble.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/58/58916/attachment_58916761 "Robert Burton
Print Design
2015
_______
\"Proving Grounds\" is a real-time series documenting the turbulent 2015 football season at California's East Los Angeles College. The setting for the series is a key influence behind this poster concept, deriving inspiration from graffiti street art found throughout the city of Los Angeles.
I consciously chose to work with bright colors – duotone shades of pink, orange and light blue coat images of team players – as a blunt contrast to the aggression that defines the sport.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/97/97045/attachment_97045669 "Sleeping Babys
Album Design
2018
_______
Sleeping Babys’ latest single “Nostalgic” tells the story of two friends who continually romanticize the past because of their inability to acclimate to modern society.
The artwork started out as an exploration in surrealism mixed with collage and needed to be as grandiose as the 18th century Queen used on the cover. I thought Marie Antoinette’s out of touch reputation was the perfect way to rationalize the song's lyrics with the band’s whimsical style, trading roses for cotton candy and French panniers for a medusa piercing.")

Brand Identity

Brand Identity
2016
_______
Legend has it some surfers pray for good waves… others just pray for good food!
In Huntington Beach, California, where surf culture reigns supreme, this client wanted a logo for his restaurant that was befitting of the protective community of talented men and women who call the ocean home.
Derived from surf lingo, “Maja” meaning mother, is a term of affection often used within this community. The objective was to design a wordmark that represented the free spirit of the bad-asses who meet out in the water each day while also making sense for a professional restaurant establishment. The custom, hand-written design with unpredictable characters and wild movement was born out of the desire to appeal to local surfers as well as anyone else who may have a fiery hunger for authentic Mexican food!
This handmade logo also features multiple variations including a version paying homage to the famed Huntington Beach lifeguard towers.")

Print Design
2018
_______
In late 2017 and early 2018, I was commissioned for a series of product labels for a limited run of wines under the Disorderly Conduct banner. Available in three varieties – cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and pinotage – these designs are delightfully chaotic.
Already distinguished by three bold color stories, I used riot imagery, grungy halftone textures and carefully placed ransom letter clippings to further capture the audacious spirit of the brand and define a unique experience for each drink.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72611/attachment_72611477 "Roberto Lopez
Digital Design
2016
_______
Roberto Lopez's emotionally captivating \"Till The Sun Turns Black\" follows a young surfer whose recently discovered he's adopted and embarks on a journey to unearth where and whom he came from.
Inspired by Ray Gun magazine, I decided on a raw, passionate design direction for the social media graphics used to promote the documentary.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/116/116019/attachment_116019674 "Dr. Matt Motil
Book Design
2020
_______
This design is a big departure from my normal approach with book covers. Penned as an educational guide on how to start from scratch and build your own real estate portfolio, \"Secrets of a Real Estate Rebel\" comes from an industry that’s not exactly known for the most inspired cover art.
Because the category leans conservative, I kept to a strict color scheme with clean typography. Photo selection was the key to making this piece shine so, I sourced images that could work both as a foil and an accomplice to the brash title.
I landed on several from the 1960s that captured the traditional charm of that era. This one had a spectacular profusion of confidence. A man stands with his family, facing their new home. He is self-assured, his wife is proud, their kids are impressed.")

SHELBY / MALE / DURHAM, NC
I am a graphic designer specializing in print: album art, book covers, business cards, product labels and packaging, and the like. I believe design should never be boring.
I am currently only available for 1:1 projects. If you're looking to push the boundaries with your brand, feel free to reach out and let's see if we're a good fit.
