One has to know the rules in order to break them. A groundbreaking designer is guided by principle and observation yet unafraid to push boundaries and experiment fearlessly.

Marketing Design
As a Senior Designer at The Trevor Project my fundamental responsibility was implementing consistent branding and messaging across the suicide prevention organization's marketing materials, website, and social media platforms. The following work showcases prominent outreach and fundraising campaigns, each with its own distinct branding and target audience.
Animation
At The Trevor Project I had the opportunity to step into the medium of digital animation, a realm I'd only lightly experimented with in college. I took a leap of creative faith and brought my passion for expressive typography to each unique project, using motion to bring important data and outreach campaigns to life. I attribute these incredibly fun yet challenging animation projects with sparking my current interest in web animation.

Book Cover Design
The following book covers are some of the best and brightest from a decade-long career as a designer for Tor Books (Macmillan). During my time at Tor, I had the pleasure and opportunity to design for an ecletic mix of genres including science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, westerns, thrillers, horror, young adult and children's.
