In the works—

I’ve been staying busy with numerous freelance projects… and have some exciting ones in the works:

—A website for Deep Search Audio, a mobile recording studio in Wichita, Kansas
—A website for Ravenwood Productions, a North Carolina-based cinematography studio
—A poster/insert for the upcoming 7″ from Slavagoh, based in Philadelphia
—And the Air House Records site will be launching sometime in July…

It’s good to stay busy, right?

Deep Search Audio logo

Deep Search Audio specializes in mobile, on-location recording. The logo is an interpretation of sonar/radar screens associated with searching the deep sea, as well as the recognizable forms related to audio speakers/recording equipment. The fragmented aspect the logo brings a sense of depth and motion as it spirals inward, a nod to the mobile element of Deep Search Audio.

AHR Logo

Inspired by the form of turntable tonearms and old speaker grilles, I created the logo for Air House Records, an independent record label specializing in “dreamy/minimal/ambient-type stuff”. Looking forward to creating their site, due this coming spring.

Stemico Identity




Stemico is a construction company in Belgrade, Serbia that specializes in residential construction. For their new identity, I was inspired by the views of rooftops of homes around Belgrade. Taking cues from both the shapes and colors of those scenes, I constructed a bold and distinctive “S” letterform that can easily stand alone:






The new logo will be used on a variety of applications (business cards/letterhead/vehicles,etc). Photos will be posted soon!

Work published in “layout essentials” book





My Franklin Gothic editorial spreads (from Jennifer Bernstein’s Type Systems class) are featured in the newly published book from Rockport Publishers: “Layout Essentials: 100 Design Principles for Using Grids” by Beth Tondreau!

My work shares a spread with Daniela Lien (UArts GD 2008) under the section “Breaking The Rules: Follow Your Heart”. Pretty exciting! The book is a great reference for using grids, so check it out.
