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 works shine through.

Will Adams is a Chinese teacher focused on language immersion & comprehensible input/output acquisition. He teaches kids at the high school level, and speaks at international conferences with other language educators about new & best practices. We developed his red panda logo character as both a device for inserting himself into story driven excercises used in his classroom, and as a sweet colorful homage to Chinese culture.

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.
Experience irreverence

I worked in-house with the PopSockets team, producing email, social, video, and onsite assets. During my time there I directed animated shorts, photoshoots, and designed a TON of emails. Plus, I worked with deft direction from Art, Creative, and Design Directors John Kieselhorst, Justin Fuller, Sonya Ghori, Jes Voight, and Brett Shea.
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.
