I worked on PopSockets internal marketing team to produce email campaigns, social & video content, and onsite assets.

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.

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.
