PhotographIt.com
- Client:
- Denise Cottin
The client wanted a web site that showed off her photography and provided a way to connect to an online shop to purchase prints. The subdue neutral color of the design allows the photographs to take center stage. A Flash-based album-generator tool was integrated into WordPress to give the client the organizational control she desired to display her photographs.
Sweet Bird of Youth Poster
- Client:
- City College of San Francisco Theatre Arts Department
- Deliverables:
- two-color offset poster and postcard
City College’s Theatre Arts Department celebrated Tennessee Williams’ 100th birthday in 2011 with two productions of his plays, one of which being Sweet Bird of Youth. In my poster designs for this play, I tried to characterize the play’s underlying themes of fading youth, façades, and unfilled dreams. Of the two designs presented, the top one was chosen to represent the production.
Missed Connections Infographic
The Missed Connection postings of CraigsList.org capture fleeting moments in which people place their hopes in finding intimate connection in a populated, transient city. However, once that moment is documented and anonymously posted online, it is filtered through the abstraction of the Web. This abstraction is simplified one step further into a two-dimensional graphic.
ACSF Schedule Postcard

How to Wear a Corda
These instructional illustrations are excerpts from a spread on how to tie a corda, a rope belt that is part of a capoeira uniform. Capoeira is a Brazilian form of martial arts with a rich history originating from African slaves.
Innerwave Bodywork
Identity System
- Client:
- Randi Kofsky
- Deliverables:
- Logo, business card, and gift certificate
The client wanted her identity to communicate the energy waves of the body on which she focuses through her bodywork. The identity gave the client’s business a brand of professionalism that separated her from a sea of bodyworkers. It was subsequently used on her business card and gift certificate.
Temperance
Admittedly, Temperance is one of the more difficult Vices and Virtues to conceptualize. I decided to take the idea literally, inspired by the quirky, dark characters of Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings. Illustrated by hand, then refined using Illustrator and Photoshop.
The illustration is published in the Fall 2011 issue of Forum literary magazine.
