House of Hope
My friend, Demetrius, recently returned from Cambodia after having done mission work there for a year. He asked if I could create a hand out card for a bible study he is having on September 21 called “House of Hope”. His idea was to do a spoof on the Obama Hope campaign….and Jesus-a-tize it.
And that [...]
My Best Friend, Emma, Travels to India
My friend Emma left for India at the beginning of this month. I designed a quick blog for her to record her travel experiences so she could keep us up to date. Matt deployed it. (As he is my fuction-master.. and I’m all form baby)

Needless to say us conscientious designers may be slapped in the face with costs [...]
Buy Nothing Day
Last year, I created a flash animation promoting Buy Nothing Day 2008- Buy Nothing Day takes place on Black Friday and obviously promotes buying…you guessed it….NOTHING. I understand that to survive we need to buy necessities, but the average American spent around $347 on Black Friday alone in 2007 (and I probably wasn’t on necessities). [...]

Myself, Matt Artz, and John Walezak displayed various b & w shots to help raise more funds (in addition to what we had already raised) for La Hacienda Esmeralda in Panama. Overall, it was great company and brought people [...]

Who I Am
I am a graphic designer dedicated and passionate about what I design. I’m fascinated with the impact design has on the public, and I want to use design as an outlet to speak to people across many levels.
I believe design should help, not hinder the environment. Therefore, a designer should be aware of how they [...]
