Solymar Records
Visual Identity
Art Direction & Packaging
Visual direction and branding for emerging label, Solymar Records. Aiming for a reduced, organic feel, I employed imagemaking with single-line drawings and minimal coloring to create Solymar’s identity. I toed the line between digital and analog assets, not wanting one medium to overpower the other.
We ended with the central sun logo acting as the main organic element, while adding an analog printed quality to the rest of the composition through non-gridded placement and texture. This project was a lesson in quality of elements taking precedent, and only adding what’s truly necessary to a composition.

Yoshi Morimoto
A Hui Hou Album Recording Package
Album Identity & Art Direction & Packaging
A series of paintings used as album art for Yoshi Morimoto’s debut album, A Hui Hou. The project’s direction was entirely open ended based on my emotional response toward each song, while tying the work together using a sedated, tropical type styling, background coloring, and subject matter.
I began with gestural thumbnails of each piece, then painted several versions until each painting carried the emotional resonance of the song. As seen, I went through many versions of composing the artwork until the artist and I decided that showing the work at full scale with evocative symbols would express each song best, although seeing the paintings without any additional assets works just as well.

Art Direction & user experience
Knowing this, I kept the existing logo and mark and simplified the pallete to several colors of varying hues. I wanted to maintain the natural, grassroots tone, which lead me to using an organic, scrapbooky feel with the multitude of illustrations I made to represent the program offerings. My biggest learning experience through this project was improving on HTML coding, utilizing it especially with front end structual changes and graphic needs.

Visual Accompaniment
Art Direction & user experience
Link to Full Video
A longtime obsession of mine is understanding the connection between sound and sight, and how music can be visually articulated. To explore this, I chose one of my favorite songs from The Flaming Lips, “In the Morning of the Magicians”, and translated it visually with practical elements by observing the form and color each instrument made in my mind. The project is meant to elevate the listening experience by stimulating both your eyes and ears, and to let yourself discover intricate aspects of the song that lay beneath the obvious ones.
Mapping out the visual form of each instrument was easier than I expected, but my greatest struggle with the project was keeping the progression new and intriguing, as the song’s structure repeats multiple times. My solution was to represent each new element in a higher priority of higherarchy and to shift the colors of each background to create a new location.

garment construction & set design
I’ve designed many pieces and lately have been handmaking the garments myself, to better immerse myself in the materiality and construction of clothing. I’m interested in challenging the shapes of conventional forms and graphics used for t-shirts, which can be seen most directly in my 2024 collection pictured.
