Project 1: Silverside AI August-2024
Silverside’s visual identity embodies an ecosystem of respect and harmony, inspired by the fluid movement of silverside fish. Their design focuses on intelligent, seamless solutions that reflect the coordinated strength of nature.

For silverside’s webdesign I focused on creating a layout that emphasized clarity, with bold typography for an engaging and balanced user experience. 

: Max the ChefApril 2024
For this project, I collaborated with another artist to create a cohesive magazine spread. Their work is showcased on the first page, and my role was to design complementary elements that not only harmonized with their piece but also showcased their personal story.


This magazine spread captures Max Marshall’s personal journey with food, exploring his evolving relationship with cooking as both an art form and a source of connection. Blending dynamic visuals with earthy, textured elements, the layout reflects the warmth and authenticity of Max’s story. 

Project 3: Ultracold Atomic PhysicsNovember 2024
For this project I was asked to create a logo and visual identity system for the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. The Ultracold Atomic Physics lab focuses on using ultracold atoms and light to construct novel quantum mechanical systems. 


The project’s primary goal was to develop an adaptable identity system that seamlessly translates across various products and merchandise, tailored for use by physicists working in the lab.

Project 4: Dream Thread May 2024
This project explores the recurring dreams and nightmares shared by people in my life, translated into a visually compelling artistic narrative. I designed, printed, and hand-bound this book to evoke the surreal and immersive sensations of dreaming, capturing the emotional depth and mystery of these experiences.


The illustrations for this project were entirely hand-drawn to evoke a sense of familiarity that feels slightly off—capturing the unsettling yet recognizable quality of dreams and their subtle distortions.

Project 5: Kennedy Bottle Shop June 2024
For this project, I was tasked with designing a logo and identity system for Kennedy Bottle Shop, a wine and beer store based in Washington, D.C. The goal was to create a distinctive visual identity that reflects the store’s character and connection to the local community.


This identity system is designed to be versatile, working seamlessly across a variety of alcohol bottles and packaging. Its adaptability ensures a cohesive and recognizable brand presence across different product lines.
