Projects Posters
Ed Fella Workshop Poster
2025For a brief workshop with Ed Fella, I created a lecture poster for myself meant to exist thirty years in the future.
My aim was to create something that would cause the viewer to interact with the poster in a distinct way, moving closer to read the fine details and to look at the composition from a lower perspective to read my name. I created a slower, intentional experience of recieving information through the poster, in contradiction to the ever increasing amount of colors and efficacies at our fingertips.
REDCAT Angel City Jazz Festival
2024A REDCAT poster for the Angel City Jazz Festival, I had the pleasure of designing for Wayne Horvitz & his jazz band.
I chose to implement some organic, drawn elements, such as writing the poster’s subtitle using a whiteboard marker and roughly drawing aspects of the poster on textured paper. The greatest challenge in creating this poster for me was translating this illustration to a screenprint-ready format, as the complex shading had to be minimized in order to see the illustration clearly. There is also the challenge of representing the abstract emotions of jazz music into a single representation coming out of the piano. It took multiple variations to create something that could express that adequately.

Scott Benzel Lecture Poster
2024A poster designed for a lecture by CalArts Faculty Scott Benzel, included in the the Paul Brach Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
This poster is inspired by Benzel’s most recent exhibition, evoking an industrial, nonsensical style. The idea of volume dials as a central component of the composition was the overarching premise from the very beginning – I thought of it as an object to represent Benzel’s artistry.
Rory Glassford Graduation Recital
2025Designed for jazz guitarist Rory Glassford, created with the intention of representing the wide expanse of the mesas in Colorado, where Glassford is from originally.
Using a photo I took in Joshua Tree, I cut out shapes of the rocky texture to form a new composition. The window was added to symbolize a threshold to a memory, something you can see but never access.

Glaser & Klincewicz
2024As a way of understanding the inherent elements of graphic design, I was tasked with making a poster highlighting the connection between two designers: one historical and one contemporary.
I chose Milton Glaser and Julian Klincewicz, designers that I look up to in two distinct ways. I chose to use similar imagemaking methods that each designer would frequent (hand inked illustrations & textured, filmic photography), resulting in a colorful, two-sided harmony. My favorite part of this project was illustrating the central floral asset, as I rarely use ink to complete an illustration and I had fun introducing something new to complete my image making. There was something interesting about merging illustration with my usual photo-based design; an unforseen cohesion took place.
Rory Glassford & Hugo Tanov
Mid-Residency Recital
2024A poster designed for Rory Glassford and Hugo Tanov, two talented jazz musicians. Both artists hold a value in timeless work and creations using analog methods, which I exemplified visually with classic typefaces, abstract form, and roughened texture akin to screenprinting methods.
