Design Projects

Gotham Park

At Gotham Park, I work with Pentagram Design Firm to create digital design materials that showcase the park's urban location under the Brooklyn Bridge and promote Gotham Park's sponsors and partner organizations. I was challenged to create designs that were both visually cohesive and informative in the Gotham Park color scheme outlined in the Pentagram Design Manual: Red, White, and Black. I designed an Earth Day Celebration Flyer to clearly illustrate the schedule of events and a map for Gotham Park's biggest event of the year, the Community Block Party, emphasizing functionality and incorporating more than 20 logos with different colors, shapes, and sizes.

DCTV (Downtown Community Television Center)

At DCTV, I worked to incorporate hand drawn and painted elements into digital design and branding materials to give the brand a more hands-on, creative community feel. I designed brochures for DCTV Workshops and Cinema programming with hand-drawn scanned graphics and a watercolor diptych of the landmark building inspired by a graphic from the archives

Lost in Translation: A Design Book

After locating and photographing 20 words with meanings unknown (to me) on the streets of New York City, I settled on SCHIFO, which I originally found on a Bushwick bus stop, as the focus of my design book. Lost in Translation is an exercise in semiotics. It reimagines the word SCHIFO in original logos and promotional images that capture and translate its essence for a variety of brands and audiences.

I also run Bang Bang Magazine, a design blog on WordPress, where I discuss design, art, and culture, highlighting innovation that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo.
