Live Site

I worked with floral designer Hekmet Ahmed to create a brand & website that captured her otherworldy sensibilities for floral arrangements, tablescapes, and set designs. The chrome wordmark was drawn in reference to the delicately traced perfectly imperfect lines that stems & petals cut through space, with a restrained use of type and color to allow the natural vibrancy of her work to shine through.

Irreverent Teas

Art Direction Illustration Web Design

Live Site

With direction from founders Darcie Shively & John Kieselhorst, I designed & developed the web experience for Irreverent Teas. The identity is all-in on celebrating maximalism in the age of millenial-modernism, and parodying hyperbolic claims common in the wellness industry. The site reflects Darcy and John’s fondness for eclectisism, Dada, and non-conformity. I made some contributions to illustrations & art direction too.

Made Agency Manual

Art Direction Design Illustration

During my internship on the design team at Made I designed pitch decks, hundreds of icons & logos, and a ton of collateral for clients, but the culmination of it all was putting together the employee handbook. A talisman of culture & vibe to inform future creatives. All layouts were hand cut, pasted, and scanned by me, with creative direction on copy & imagery by John Keiselhorst.

Branding Illustration Art Direction

Sabi Coffee is the roastery of Husni Awol, a Dallas resident with deep family roots in Ethiopia. He wanted to bring a coffee company to market that educated people on the traditions and origins of Ethiopian coffee—the jebena, tibeb cups, coffee as a ritual for gathering. We designed an identity system of illustrations and high information layouts that highlight these traditions in an approachable & fun style, while also providing more details on the regions of every origin than typical roasters.
