Projects
  • Life of Pi Cover Illustration (Student Project)
    Life of Pi Cover Illustration (Student Project)Student Project 2014 APPLIED ARTS STUDENT AWARDS CONTEST WINNER Redesigning the book cover of the novel Life of Pi by Yann Martel, I tried to create a dynamic image that captured the harrowing journey of the protagonist.

  • SKYE Footwear
    SKYE FootwearAt Ballentine Media, I had the pleasure of art directing a technical product video shoot for SKYE Footwear’s ELEMENTAL line, which highlighted the shoes capabilities to combat water and rainy weather. Even though we had a very small budget I wanted to create a high impact technical video, which definitely put my creativity and resourcefulness to the test. Using DIY techniques, I pulled together make shift rigs including a lazy Susan, a large silicon sealed picture frame, hydrophobic spray, sten
  • Lululemon Mindfulosophy Kit
    Lululemon Mindfulosophy KitLululemon Mindfulosophy Kit At Lululemon, I was brought into the initial branding stages of their internal self-development program called Mindfulosophy. I was given the job of building out a family of 4 unique patterns that could be used as an application throughout the programs collateral. This resulted in the creation of 4 distinct sleek and modern geometric patterns. I created a meditative pattern through the use of repeated shapes, and reinforced the program’s central theme of mindfulness
