Projects
- sleepymaleSLEEPYMALE My proudest work. I specialize currently in color theory, especially in design. These were an effort to ‘brand’ myself and create an identity with what I love, which can be boiled down to three things: Minimalism Shape Color The main logo with typeface was chosen because of my signature windbreaker, teal on the outside and lined with peach and red piping inside.
- Hi-Rez DesignAs the only production graphic designer, I was tasked with arming the end of Season 4 and the beginning of HRX (A multi-million tournament event) with it’s design. I was a set designer for HRX, and a logo designer for the events and their prizing. This overall was, personally, the best logo design the league has ever seen and is still used to this day. Both the Paladins World Championship logo as well as the Smite Pro/Console World Championship logos are to be used for the foreseeable future. The main logos were designed as a visual culmination of receiving the trophy, a years worth of work leading up to one moment to define your ability as a player. I was also the graphic designer of the entire event besides the championships, which includes the keynote speech by every founding member of Hi-Rez and their respective properties. This also included lighting and video. 2017-2018
- Environmental PortraitsMy portrait series, every day environmental portraits of workers out in Portland, Oregon. This was also the result of my temporary work period with the Portland Trail Blazers as a student. Each portrait was accompanied in display with a quote written with a typewriter onto matte board.
- Team VolticTEAM VOLTIC An esports organization I created with the intention of being contemporary and unique. TEAM VOLTIC is a brainchild of my friend Andrew who considered the word “Voltic” with no lead, and after prefixing the name with “TEAM” I created the logo with simplicity in mind. Using very saturated values of gold, grey, and white (all a little bit off) I found an identity I think fit the style I wanted to represent. We signed a team in February and manage all business details every single day, including social media and marketing. 2018
- Conceptual WorksHIGH SCHOOL These are conceptual pieces I created while at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida, a top magnet school in the country with multiple areas for students to excel in and focus. I was a visual art major and the only of 40 seniors who committed myself to digital design, with an emphasis on collage elements and composition. (2009-2013)
