Herman Miller
At the heart of the furniture manufacturer's legacy lies its iconic pieces and the visionary designers behind them, such as Alexander Girard, and Ray and Charles Eames. "Threads" is a presentation and conversation lead by former graphic designer Steve Frykholm and writer Clark Malcolm. They weave Herman Miller's rich history of design innovation, its embrace of new ideas and talents through captivating narratives that shaped Herman Miller's 111-year journey. Because of my illustrative portrait line style, I was commissioned to create illustrations tailored to complement the theme of "threads."

Collaborating closely with the Herman Miller design team, I illustrated portraits of Steve and Clark. These portraits were seamlessly integrated into promotional and presentation materials for the event."

  • My portrait series, formally called Facebook Friends started as a self initiated project illustrating my friends on Facebook. This endeavor evolved into illustrating portraits of speakers for CanUX Conference, and numerous portraits for friends and clients.An article titled "Face Behind the Faces" was written about me and the portrait series.

To Good For You Chicken Noodle Soup
This past weekend, I had a fun visual idea of a snobby chicken and chicken noddle soap. Sketching out some initial concepts, I developed multiple illustrative iterations to this completed illustration. From conception to final illustration took close to 3 hours.

Rethinking Math Workbooks
During my childhood, I despised math and often wondered if it was due to how it was taught and presented. Perhaps it was, perhaps not. Even now, I feel my kids math workbooks are unapproachable. So, I thought create a cover series for simple math workbooks – taking my youngest sons math workbook, I stripped it down to its bare essentials, and gave it a complete rebranding. The typeface I used for this design is DIN Condensed VF, designed by Isabella Chaeva and Tagir Safayev from Paratype.
