A Declaration of Insanity in an Existential Crisis
A large format newsprint zine that explores my own response to the state of the world, and my awe at the beauty, pain, and unknowing that come with existing.
Eventbrite
An electrifying new brand identity system for Eventbrite that repositions the company from a transactional ticketing platform to a cultural catalyst for discovery, connection, and shared experiences.
Completed at Buck.
Jūra
Brand identity design for the practice of Brooklyn-based florist and photographer Miglė Staniškytė. This project was a creative collaboration to capture the depth, beauty, and whimsy of Staniškytė’s flower designs, and to stand out among an industry of minimalist and indistinct florist brands.
Zefyr
Identity for Zefyr, the musical project and EP release for musician Felix Zhang, a project that aims to delve into the bittersweet realities of lived experiences and how music and art can change our perception of the world around us.
Mellon Foundation
Visual identity design framework for Mellon Foundation, the largest funder of the arts and humanities in the United States.
Completed at Pentagram.
Asgard’s Wrath II
Visual identity and art direction for Meta Quest’s premier VR title, Asgard’s Wrath II. A logo overhaul for the second game in the series, building on the first game’s logo and giving it new life with reconsidered lettering, realistic gold and stone textures, and dramatic lighting.
Completed at Buck.
