These re-designs of classic Parker Brothers board games stemmed from a desire to deconstruct the overdone packaging board games nowadays are so known for. Featured on Co.Design Blog!
Drawing inspiration from vintage, modernist game box designs, these re-inventions focus on simplistic imagery, experimental typography, and limited color schemes.

The Companion Series are novel guides, much like Sparknote editions, but instead of summaries and facts, these guides outline personal vignettes from readers who hold the book dear to them. Interviews, excerpts, and themes (topics to reflect about when reading the book) are included in 30 pages or less.
You may download each companion for free, and view more information about each book at the Companion Series website: CompanionSeries.com
Expressing my interest in color and typography, these studies depict how type can create an illustrative atmosphere and work with brand.
Tasked with creating an engaging program for the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival, this website was created to showcase the different programs in an artistic and innovative way. Visit the site here.
Using a color-coded system, events were divided by type, and measured out in units by total length of each event. This piece is in no way affiliated with the official event, and the full list of events and more information can be found at BAM's official Next Wave Festival website.
With most of my design work, I find the final products are incredibly illustrative, and this is no coincidence: my initial interest in art began with Illustration, and fine art practices often guide much of my design work.
I'm very interested in digital illustration through the use of simplified shapes and color. I often use vectors as means of illustrating.
Housing Works, a non-profit based in New York City, is responsible for combating the dual crisis of homelessness and AIDS. This PSA was commissioned to be intended for a specific audience, and I chose to speak to potential volunteers.
This PSA explains and visualizes the scary fact that over 90,000 people in New York city are effected either by HIV or AIDS. Prompting the common person to think of how they are effected by such an epidemic, it asks them to take action by volunteering for Housing Works.
An identity system for the fake eco-friendly amputation service "Ampugreen." What an eco-friendly amputation service is remains a mystery, but there's certainly a lot of implications.
Using a randomly selected product as inspiration (I received a set of shoe-horns in the shape of a potted plant), I decided to go in an abstract, humorous, and ultimately ambiguous route for the final product.
Residing in Belfast, Maine, The Three Tides Restaurant specialize in their tapas menu and association with neighboring brewing house Marshall Wharf.
The redesign includes a new logo and menu design, which is styled in the aesthetic of antique maritime illustration. The menu is bound in the cover and spine of "The Captain" by Jan de Hartog, and features a self-written short story, plus a simple fold-out map of Belfast and the surrounding area.
Station North, a district in northern downtown Baltimore, specializes in a growing music, food, and art scene. Ads to promote the area were created to entice riders on local buses to visit & experience what the area has to offer.
Also, in collaboration with MICA's "Illustrating The Edible" class, a guidebook was designed & created using the class' illustrations and reviews, featuring restaurants in the Station North district.
