A Taste Of Home
Now in its third year, A Taste of Home is a chefs’ tasting and culinary-themed benefit held in the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. Using the Bookstore Cafe’s branding as a starting point with a dash of culinary design inspiration, I created a web and print campaign to look as delicious as the event.
Dispatch Magazine
I provided freelance art directon for the January 2012 issue of Dispatch Magazine, a music and culture magazine based out of Portland, Maine. I created comps for the cover of the magazine and provided art direction on the interior.
Infographics
Work created as part of an Information Design class I took at the School of Visual Arts in 2011. I took the opportunity of working on self-directed pieces to try to stretch my aesthetic sensibility and experiment with different styles, as well as copywriting and doing research on the topics which we picked ourselves.
Housing Works Bookstore Cafe
As part of Housing Works rebranding in 2010, I led development of brand identity for the Bookstore Cafe. Although there was a wonderful old identity, it didn’t fit in with Housing Works’ branding as a whole. Beginning with the new Housing Works Bookstore Cafe logo & typography, I presented color studies and mood boards to...
Brooklyn Based
Brooklyn Based is a weekly e-mail newsletter and associated blog that highlights local events and culture in Kings County. From 2010 to 2011, I had the opportunity to work on several freelance projects for events they produced and a few icons for their site.
Design on a Dime 2011
Housing Works’ largest annual benefit, Design on a Dime raises much-needed funds for our supportive housing program. Together Housing Works partners with interior designers who create unique room vignettes using donated home goods and furnishings. For the 2011 benefit, I created design collateral for the entire event, from the invitation to on-site signage, tee-shirts to...
Dieu Donné
Founded in 1976, Dieu Donné is a non-profit artist workspace dedicated to the creation, promotion and preservation of contemporary art in the hand papermaking process. Since 2009, I have designed their annual benefit catalogs, and artists’ monographs for E.V. Day, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, Jim Hodges, and Michele Oka Doner. Dieu Donné’s brand identity was developed by Project Projects.
Redken
As a member of Redken’s in-house Creative Department from 2007 until 2009, I had the opportunity to design print and digital collateral for an internationally recognized beauty brand. Under Creative Director Robert Bergman, my team collaborated with the Marketing and Purchasing departments in producing projects for the domestic market, and helped to form and uphold...
O.U.R. Waterfront Coalition
In the summer of 2007, a variety of community organizations in the Lower East Side and Chinatown banded together to form O.U.R. Waterfront Coalition. The Coalition’s goal was to make sure that the residents of the local community, many of whom are immigrants, were involved in the development and planning of the East River Waterfront....
Time Magazine
From October ’06 through March ’07, I was fortunate enough to freelance at Time magazine. Working under Marti Golon, Art Director for Special Projects, I created layouts for weekly subscriber-only content, as well as projects with longer time lines, including the 2006 issues of The Best Inventions and Person of the Year. The ‘reset button’...
Paste Magazine
In 2006, I had the opportunity to intern at Paste, an international music, film and culture magazine. When I wasn’t running intern-esque errands, I created ads and collateral, assisted Metaleap Creative (the in-house & beyond design firm that works on Paste), and collaborated with senior designers, editorial staff, and marketing team on projects.
