This was a graphic design project for a children’s book. Amy Morin, the author, wanted cheat sheets she could email to the purchasers of her book (13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do) as a free bonus. 

She wanted something simple and visually appealing. By using combinations of shapes, colors, graphics, and anything else I saw fit, I was able to come up with the finished product you see above. The client also wanted a picture of the book cover on each page.

Lastly, I made sure all the sheets looked similar with slight variations to maintain branding consistency.

I really enjoyed working on this project for the National Academy of Design. The project scope included an 85-page manual for the organization’s board members (a group of well-respected artists and architects).

This comprehensive guide included background information about the academy, official documents, images, and detailed information about their board and staff members.

Check it out! Simply scroll through the PDF. The tools I used were Adobe InDesign and Illustrator.

I’m passionate about music so creating music artwork for an album or single cover is fun for me. Music related projects never feel like work for me and designing music artwork is something I can do quickly. Check out some of the single covers I’ve created below.

Willoughby Project Playlist Volume 1 EP is the first published music collection of the self-taught instrumentalist and Producer/Songwriter, Willoughby Project. I was happy to assist him by providing him with this simple Press Kit to help him get his music distributed on popular music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

This EP features gently sung R&B vocals around sultry piano and keyboards, experimental sounds, soulful grooves, emotionally charged lyrics and vocals that intersect perfectly between Alternative and R&B/Soul genres. It’s a collection of songs and lyrics inspired by dating in New York City and previous relationships. Songs that will satisfy your emotional and moody appetite.

The National Academy of Design is an honorary association of American artists, founded in New York City in 1825 to “promote the fine arts in America through instruction and exhibition.”

“Artist In Conversation” was an intimate interview-style salon hosted by the National Academy of Design. During the panel discussion, artists discuss their inspirations, how their art represents everyday life, contemporary politics and more.

This was a flyer I designed for one of these events while serving as a contractor in the fall of 2017.

Retargeting ads are a form of online advertising. These ads are served to people who have already visited your website or are a contact in your database (like a lead or customer).

I designed these banner ads to help promote the release of my client’s book, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do, back in the summer of 2017.

This is a logo I created for a music blog back in 2013 (Time flies!). As you can see from the design, I used the concept of a text based logo with a single icon in place of the letter “A.” Using the shack as an icon helps the viewer interpret the word shack without actually reading that portion of the text and makes it easier to recognize the logo.

This is a logo design I did for a startup marketing agency. The client wanted something simple and clean, so I gave him a logo with design elements focused on elements like the font and lines. It’s important to have colorful logos, but overdoing it can backfire. Think about it, some of the most famous logos are actually in black and white. Like Nike, Apple, etc. However, in certain cases colors are of importance.

Fabricatedminds is an ongoing personal project of mine. It’s a society I created for people that share my interest in fashion, art, and culture—three things I love. I envision a brand with a strong following made up of people that share my passion.

I launched a website with a blog to compliment it back in November 2013. The content consisted of insightful posts about different cultures around the world, traditional and modern fashion trends, and art sightings of all kinds—abstract, observational, and crafts.

I’m currently preparing to revamp the website, re-launch the blog, organize a team, and work on a plan to incorporate events into the mix.

Lastly, in case you didn’t notice, I drew inspiration from this logo design to create the logo for this site.

Logo design for a French restaurant. Per request, I drew inspiration for the design from the Paris metro and the Seine, a 777-kilometre long river and an important commercial waterway within the Paris Basin in the north of France.
