Portland Art Museum
UX/UI and Production Design

In June of 2023, I was brought on staff at the Portland Art Museum to redesign and manage
the Museum Store’s e-commerce platform.

The site has since been brought up to brand guidelines and industry standards resulting in
an uptick of traffic and purchase follow-through.

Duties also included designing weekly graphics for digital marketing and email newsletters, seasonal merchandise & museum wayfinding.


Gather Film Festival
Brand Identity & Website

Gather Film Festival curates world cinema through the central theme of food. Rather than celebrating food as a spectacle, Gather focuses on the wider culture that food facilitates through nationality, sex, age, occupation, and class.

Gather's visual identity draws inspiration from vintage cookbooks, kitchen ephemera, and recipe cards providing each of the featured films with tasting notes highlighting key elements of the film.


Lamp Light Cold-Brew
Brand Identity and Package Design

Lamp Light was developed as an antithesis to the modern hustle culture style of cold brew coffee marketing.  Lamp Light's values of savor and flow are inspired by old-world “Penny Universities" where Enlightenment Era intellectuals, writers and scientists gathered to exchange and develop new ideas over a cup of coffee.

Lamp Light roots its visual inspiration in the expressive, decorative design tradition of Art Nouveau, evoking a sense of flow and organic rhythm throughout its packaging.

Flavors borrow their names from well known Enlightenment Era figures who gathered at Penny Universities inviting one to join in the tradition of inquiry & exchange of ideas over a cup of coffee.


PDX Podcast Festival
Brand Identity and Poster Design

Portland Podcast Festival's visual identity is grounded in a sense of motion inspired by the transmission of ideas and audio through the
podcast medium.

Employing a 4-line stripe motif, the poster series and ticket design reflect a sense of movement and are used to form illustrations representative of each podcast's respective theme.


SERGIO
Type Revival and Inspired Font

Sergio is a two-part type design project based on the hand-cut lettering of Inginio Lardani.

The project's first section is a digital recreation of his lettering work on the Sergio Corbucci Spaghetti Western film, Django, Prepare a Coffin.

The project's second section draws on Lardani’s  hand-cut type's fundamental characteristics and creates a new letter set inspired by its curved stems, stressed counters, & outlaw spirit.
