PRIDE! Pop-up Exhibit
In 2023 I was asked to guest curate the Northport Historical Society's first LGBT+ exhibit as part of the town-wide Pride month festivities. My exhibit, PRIDE!, utilized original designs to explore the history of the LGBT+ movement in the U.S. and Northport, NY.

Commercial Coffee Table Book
I developed a series of coffee table books called Photos from the Field for a tech startup which featured unique photos taken by the company’s field techs while surveying abandoned office spaces in/around New York City. The project involved designing covers, arranging layouts, selecting fonts, and writing/formatting copy for each book.

User Guide Reference Card
User guides may not be the most exciting design projects, but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. I designed this card with bold colors and elegant fonts, allowing users to focus on figuring out how to use the software rather than the accompanying guide.

Star Wars Bullet Card
Productivity takes a trip to a galaxy far, far away with the Star Wars Bullet Card. Designed for fans of the series, this double-sided card easily fits inside notebooks and mimics R2-D2 on the front with BB-8 on the back to help newcomers to the popular note taking method become productivity Jedi.

A twist on the traditional resume/portfolio straight from the design world. This set of cardstock-printed swatches features color-coded pages to showcase different sections of information and is corner-bound with an eyelet.

Bullet Reference Card
In 2013, I designed this reference card for the “Bullet System” and offered it as a download here on my website. The project quickly went viral, making the rounds on social media with over 21,000 views and over 500 downloads. I have since shelved the project. However, it still lives (somewhere) on the internet.

Acrylic Core Values Sign
I designed this sign for a tech startup that wanted a unique way to present the company’s core values. The result was a heavy, yet beautiful, acrylic display that was professionally mounted in their conference room. Years ago, this project was mysteriously tagged in a design forum and still draws countless visitors to my site.
