    uniE621 The Scenic Route Album Artwork
    Album artwork for singer songwriter Claire Kelly
    uniE621 Amazon Pride Mural - Day One
    I was selected to design two murals for Pride Month 2025 at The Amazon headquarters in Seattle, painted with a group of artists in collaboration with Urban ArtWorks. These were painted with tempera paint to later be washed off and replaced with a new mural. Given the political climate, I wanted to make sure that it was loud and proud. I’m using my art as resistance and calling on large corporations like Amazon to support the LGBTQIA+ community. In these murals, you’ll see a wave of colors from the Progress Pride Flag, created by Daniel Quaser, which has a white, pink, and light blue stripe to represent the Trans community. The black and brown stripes represent communities of color, and the black stripe is also a nod the thousands of individuals that the community lost during the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1980s and 1990s. The hearts are grouped in colors that represent subcategories of pride flags, like lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, non-binary, asexual, genderqueer, etc. These murals were painted outside of the Day 1 building (next to the Spheres) and Path To Yes building on Terry Ave at the Amazon Puget Sound Global Headquarters in Seattle for the month of June. graphicdesigner graphicdesign designer mural painter muralist streetart

    uniE621 The Barrel Horse Branding Design
    Logo design and branding toolkit for The Barrel Horse, a signature alcohol and beverage service company out of Saukville, Wisconsin. The Barrel Horse is a mobile event bar made from a fully renovated 1980 Hartman tandem horse trailer. The client wanted an elevated brand that customers would see at events like weddings, graduation parties, birthday parties, showers, corporate events, concerts and festivals. The logo needed to be easily recognizable as a decal on the side of the trailer or on stickers. They also wanted alternate versions of the logo to be used on things like business cards, letterheads, email footers, and their website. logo graphicdesigner graphicdesign branding designer

    uniE621 Gig Posters
    A project that began during COVID-19 quarantine, as I was mourning the canceled concerts that I had tickets for. As a huge fan of live music, I felt like a piece of my life was missing, so I designed gig posters to ease the pain. It later expanded into designing gig posters for concerts that I attended and then commissioned work. graphicdesign posterdesign
