Pop-punk band Low High wanted creative, divergent packaging for their newest album \"Act Normal.\" The cut-copy-paste design reflects the album's themes of heartache, displacement, impatience, and the journey to figuring out who we are. My own handwriting was used for the band's name and album tracklist.")

Year: 2018

In “Don’t Kiss and Sell” a young professional leaves behind her adventurous albeit reckless life abroad to return home to Pennsylvania in hopes of getting herself back in order. Despite being 6,000 miles from her old life, protagonist Jayden finds it difficult to let go of deep-rooted habits that include drugs, eating disorders, a ravenous thirst for money, and flirtatious bosses.
The cover art is a sparkling collage that pulls together elements from the story – e.g. “AND” is spelled out in magnets on a refrigerator door as a nod to Jayden's issues with food.")

Colorful and slightly chaotic. In late 2017/early 2018, I worked on a series of wine labels for a limited run of wines put out under the Disorderly Conduct banner. I paired dynamic photography with a high contrast color palette for an exciting set of designs that are sure to bring a little bit of welcomed anarchy to the beverage aisle.")

Lord of the Flies meets Misery?
The Little Crew of Butchers is a psychological journey that finds protagonist Lucas Baird held captive by a gang of demented young boys in a small town off the coast of Long Island. The children, directed by a furious 12-year-old, turn savage, heaping hideous acts of torment and cruelty upon Lucas.
The cover was designed to represent the duality of the story: Lucas running from adulthood mistakes that eventually lead to his unfortunate capture and the reckless emotion the children exhibit, fueled by infighting with their young tyrannical leader. I wanted to avoid displaying actual violence on the cover but instead focus on the internal fury that runs through each character.")

Roberto Lopez's emotionally captivating \"Till The Sun Turns Black\" follows a young surfer whose recently discovered he's adopted and embarks on a journey to unearth where and whom he came from.
Inspired by Ray Gun magazine, I decided on a raw, passionate design direction for the social media graphics used to promote the documentary.")

Year: 2017

TRAUMKUH is a swank new establishment set to open in three of the biggest cities in Germany, selling everything from burgers and poutine to beer and coffee. The first location will be home to a spectacular all-black interior which is the stimulus behind this project.
The logo for TRAUMKUH is my personal study in the tender balance between handmade and upscale.
The typography is my own handwriting and it carries the majority of the responsibility for achieving a modern yet distinct look for the brand. It is well-balanced beside an abstract icon of a cow’s head, a branding component which shares a similar freehand appearance as the wordmark but reveals more control because of its deliberate shape.
Whether together or apart, these elements all work to reflect TRAUMKUH’s unique atmosphere. Dipped in black and white? Folks, we have a winner.")

"Quality work, took longer than it needed to taken once requirements were in, but I believe it was a specific event that caused the designer to go off the grid for a little bit. Shelby was very pleasant to work with when there was dialogue though."
