Standing in their beautiful garden, I was inspired by all the lovely greenery & fresh flowers around us. We gently laid the puppies in the warm sunshine & let their cuteness lead the lens.

American Airpower Museum Print Ad
I worked closely with the American Airpower’s Scott Clyman, to create an ad that spoke to the air world. Inspired by the stripes & colors on the C-47 Airplane, I paired the C-47’s iconic look with the typeface, Mr Stalwart, for a 1930s/40s vibe. This full page ad was featured in an issue of Air Classics for the Museum’s C-47 Flight Experience.

Electric Forest Type Restoration
Walking down the streets of Brooklyn to a friend’s apartment, I stumbled upon this wire lettering. Using the three pre-existing letterings “A”, “M”, & “Y”, I set to work restoring and creating a typeface off of this found lettering. Working closely with a class and two teacher, I developed this simplistic line typeface, Electric Forest.
This project is currently in the works of becoming a useable typeface! Stay tuned!
Inspired by the words of my media crit teacher in college, I set out to make a piece of propaganda that reflects the feelings of many individuals when it comes to the government. Looking at 1970s lettering, Dr. Seuss, and vintage propaganda posters for inspiration, the poster was hand drawn then silkscreened in vibrant red and blue colors in a hypnotic swirl.
