  • Trim - The Designer's Cutting Mat
    Designers love beautiful things; it's in our nature. This project's goal was to replace the ugly green cutting mats with a better designed version. It was made to be a mock-Kickstarter project with the goal of it becoming a real one if there is enough interest.

  • Wildcat Sanctuary Ad Series
    Wild pets are a big problem, and this ad campaign is meant to show how ridiculous it is to keep a wild animal as a pet. The images speak for themselves. The logo shows the fierceness of the panther and the love that the sanctuary offers. The bottom copy on each ad is information on wild pets and the sanctuary.

    In January 2013, The Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota wrote a short article on this project. Check it out here: http://www.wildcatsanctuary.org/you-never-know-what-you-can-do-until-you-do-it/

  • Good* Morning
    For 20 days I ate breakfasts from different countries around the world. This project offered a unique opportunity to not only delve into how other countries start their day, but to also see the rituals of our own culture. Breakfast is often the meal that is the same thing almost every day. Some people have a bagel and cream cheese every morning, some have cereal, most have coffee. Though the phrase “the start of a new day” has philosophical and emotional meaning, how we actually start every day is not thought about often. Please enjoy my cultural journey through my kitchen.

  • Exploratorium Ad Posters
    The Exploratorium in San Francisco is a children's discovery museum for adults. It turns science and math into an exciting adventure. My goal of these posters was to reach a broad audience, and give them something they will want to know about and understand. Once they read the shirts, they'll want to know the explanation and learn more.

    This could also extend to a line of T-shirts for the museum with the scientific explanations on the back of the shirt.

    All pictures were taken with my iPhone 4 so please forgive the quality. I did not own a nice camera at the time.

  • Arts Education Partnership Ads
    Budgets for Arts Education keep falling across the US, but it's never been more important for the younger generations to have a creative education. Since 30% of Americans go into creative and problem solving fields, arts can be an excellent complement to science and math in the education system. These two ads are meant to raise public awareness on the subject. The colored pencils and colored paper clips are representative of the 30%.

  • RumPumPumRum
    RumPumPumRum is a nationally produced spiced rum similar to the quality of Bacardi. Like the craft beers that you see elite beer drinkers consuming but you never see on TV, it is marketed as the hipper rum that people will get after seeing their friends drinking it, not necessarily from commercials. Its tag line is “Keep the Beat Going,” both to increase the connection to its drum-inspiration and encourage its drinkers to continue the party, meeting, date, or wherever they may be drinking RumPumPumRum. It will target everyone over the age of 21 that wants a high quality beverage. Competition includes Captain Morgan, Malibu, Bacardi, and other rum companies. It is sold in liquor stores across America.

  • The Pogues, Red Roses for Me CD
    This redesign of the Pogues "Red Roses for Me" CD creates a story through pictures. The red roses contrast with the cigarette ash, showing the grittiness and romanticism of their music. The inside insinuates a scene with "girl meets boy" in the bar, and love blossoming amongst the scummy litter of the bar.

  • Talk to Me Bookcover
    The Talk to Me book cover is made for the MoMa exhibition of the same name. The exhibition concentrated on the communication between people and objects through games, interaction design, and incredible mechanisms. The exhibition book cover should be able to communicate with the visitors just as much as the exhibition. When you scan the large QR code it shows the title of the exhibition, and when you scan the smaller ones they take you to parts of the exhibit online.
