Jubilee Arts brings the community of West Baltimore together through art, dance, music and counseling.
The Jubilee mark is based on simplified shapes reminiscent of old Baltimore architecture. It is split into four parts that represent each facet of the center.
This project is very extensive, and includes identity and signage of the entire Harris-Marcus Center, where the program will be held.

The Crooked Paper company specializes in producing the first ever completely dissolvable paper product, perfect for getting rid of those nasty incriminating documents in no time at all.

The Brothers Grimm are the best known authors of children's folklore to have ever set quill to paper. Their stories are highly regarded for having underlying morals carried out in strange and imaginative ways.
Rebranding this age old franchise to appeal to both children and adults called for a complete identity package, including a new mark.
The title of each book serves to explain the underlying moral of the story contained within it. This demystifies each story and allows for further reflection past what is on the surface.

Working with Ken Barber and Ben Kiel of House Industries, I completed Holly, a modular display typeface that uses four geometric parts.
The influence for Holly's design comes straight from the turn of the 20th century, a period characterized by silent film and Art Nouveau.
Monocles, vines, geometry and playful symmetry also played a significant role in Holly's form.

During Halloween 2008, I developed a modular display typeface under the guidance of Ken Barber and Ben Kiel from House Industries.
The typeface uses vectorized scans of my eyelashes that have been grouped into three clusters to
form each letter.
This display face was used in a poster for the 2008 Annual MICA Halloween contest.
