Most of the music packaging work presented here was completed while I operated Industrial Strength Design. When I first opened the studio at the age of 24, I envisioned working on annual reports, but being young and located in the East Village of New York, a more accessible market was the music industry. Projects ranged from music packaging design for self-published release to the major labels—I even got to work on a few projects for some Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Famers.
