Harbour Artists & Music, yeemz
Cover Art
Cover Art for cellist & songwriter yeemz’s latest track release, ‘People Pleaser.’ Inspired by the essence of the song, yeemz’s energy, and standardized personality notes of childhood report cards that can oooooooze into one’s personal life; an organically honest artwork unfolded. Tickled by the fact I happened to have a report card from the 1930’s (lol) outlining traits of a pupil in the most blatant sense… we love easter eggs! Listen here Photography by Mimi Matrix

Verdant Intimates
Identity
Verdant is a New York-based lingerie brand tailored for stillness and motion, for the morning ritual and the midnight rush. Each collection is hand-crafted in small batches and considers the full arc of the wearer’s day. Founders, Eleanor Mooney and Michelle Bergmann, approached me to create an identity that encompassed the effortlessly purposeful essence of a woman in motion — bringing to life their main logotypes, preliminary brand guidelines and general art direction across print and digital media.

Outside Observations
Art Direction + Content Creation
Los Angeles based ideas, creative and strategic research agency, Outside Observations, sought me out to create bespoke experimental imagery for social media use and beyond. While collaborating on one-off print, digital, and environmental projects, I also aid in the research and curation of found inspiration imagery driving their Instagram page. Curiously crafted Instagram posts continue to garner thousands of likes, shares, followers, and conversation.

Fashion Institute of Technology
Identity + Web
Working with a small team of FIT GD alumni, we sought to create a virtual home for the Graphic Design BFA program @ The Fashion Institute of Technology—letfliesfly.com. I lent a heavy hand in the branding, copywriting, creative direction, design, development, and project management. Social promo videos created in collaboration with Jenna Solomon.  Check out what the web-hosting platform, Cargo Collective, had to say about the site

PURSUIT
Lyric Book
PURSUIT is a typographic exploration into the British bred band, The 1975. For the lyric book, I used Apple Garamond to compliment the grounding nature of the band, and focused on the relationship between the feeling and texture their lyrics/instrumentals evoke. The lyric book features three typographic lyric translations per each respective studio album — The 1975 (2013), ILIWYSFYASBYSUOI (2016), ABIIOR (2018).
