Freelance
Art Director / Principle Designer
Working as a Designer/Art Director and creative advisor for friends and acquaintances I've had the opportunity to work on some great projects including working with various non-profit organizations both local and out of state. Specializing in branding and logo design, business cards, web design, brochures, event signage, album artwork, t-shirts, posters and flyers.
Clients include:
Steve Berke for Mayor, The Little Lighthouse Foundation, Nightmare on the Beach, Hearts & Stars Gala, Ray Lewis Foundation, VR2 Consulting, Chapman Partnership for the Homeless, DJ Matt Postrel, Upperatus.
Also an artist working with a variety of mediums but mainly focused on aerosols, stencils and screen printing. I operate under the name "The New(s)" for this work and have shirts for sale on society6.com and skreened.com. This is where I can be freely creative, often using subversive anti-establishment aesthetics and street art production methods. Very knowledgable in the screen printing process, being self taught, knowing the process from beginning to end, from screen creation, dark room / art studio setup to printing the finished artwork.
