Illustration Work
A small sampling of my illustration work.
Bar/ista
I had the opportunity to do branding project for a coffee shop set to open in downtown Alpharetta. They needed everything from full branding to in-store design, to the name itself. The idea for the establishment was to lean into duality, serving as a coffee shop during the day and a bar at night.
Walt Whitman famously said, “Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.”
We positioned the brand off of this insight, framing it as a place to celebrate your multitudes; a home away from home meant to encompass all of the in-between moments in life.
Here are are a few excerpts from the final brand book, which is available by request. It’s 45 pages total, so sticking to the highlights.

Creature Comforts Brewing Redesign
A brand redesign that incorporates the boldness of a curiously strong beer brand with notoriously curious animals.
Fan Art For Change
Movies and TV shows are the foundation of our culture - to the extent that they have a strong impact on the way we think and perceive our world. In context they make sense, but the moment you take them away from their respective stories and fandoms, they become even more powerful.
Powerful enough to inspire us to make change in our real world.
To illustrate this, I designed a series of minimalist movie posters paired with seemingly familiar quotes that take an unexpected turn to highlight injustices in our world.
Quick note - I actually made these a few years ago (like pre-covid!) and a lot has changed in our world since. I’m planning to pick this project back up and add to the collection in the remaining few months of 2024.
