When designing the brand identity for Cork Vault, I wanted to marry the luxury that accompanies storing large collections of wine with the ruggedness of the industrial warehouse space. To represent this I used a clean, geometric typeface and lots of raw textures found within the warehouse.
Fun Fact: The warehouse was once home to a large collection of vintage cars, and this is why I was inspired to use a mechanical drawing for the T-shirt design.
Since this is an app for setting up play dates, fun was the name of the game. With playful illustrations and game-like onboarding, we created an app that felt like a one-person play date.
With Winston I was lead designer for the app, website, Facebook marketing materials, and pitch deck.
Born from community desire, Ember is a yoga studio that teaches classes in the local art gallery. My goal in creating their brand identity was to balance softness and fierceness while also being earthy and eclectic.
Having been around over 50 years, Rama Swim Club is a Charlotte Institution. The Rama vibe is not one of exclusivity, and we certainly had no interest in competing with neighboring country clubs, so we decided to focus on what Rama does best: good times, good vibes, good company. Positioning Rama as the 'fun pool' meant an overhaul in tone/voice of the copy, as well as an invigorated new logo system and brand color palette.
Set in the heart of Old City in Philadelphia, these candles were handcrafted in a building that was once a machinery. I wanted to capture the feel of the industrial boom of the early 1900's while still maintaining a modern/minimal aesthetic. With the metal exterior, handwritten elements, and a dab of color paired with each scent, we managed to find a way to balance the industrial, artisanal, and modern roots of these candles.
The ultimate DVD collectible for fans of the cult classic movie The Evil Dead. This Demon Defense Kit holds a special place in my heart. Not only is it packaging for my favorite movie, I got to get my hands really dirty. I did woodworking, sculpting, painting, illustration, and book design to bring this project together.

Crema is a magazine for coffee aficionados. Over-the-top photography and strong typography tap into the trendy-coffee-boutique subculture.
Kitchen utensils as bold as this need an equally bold brochure to compliment it. Intense colors and plenty of negative space to let the colors breathe reflect the bright, modern feel of these products.
