Professional Work Samples

This collage showcases a few examples of precise linework, color separation, and image re-creation. Trim-cut lines were required to contain the least amount of anchor points possible to create a smooth cut. Color separations were required to overlap in areas where they are touching to account for slight registration errors. Customer-supplied raster logos that needed to be screen printed were required to be re-created and remastered for the best possible printing quality. Created using Adobe Illustrator.

Full logo redesign for Navi Digital Media. The project involved redesigning the logo while maintaining a few of the original design elements. Collaboration with the client helped finalize the edits they requested, and then the client was given access to the logo in several different colors, sizes, and formats.

Grape NOS

Pine Cone Bar

The fish and all of the color separations were redrawn and remastered to ensure that each color could screen-printed without any material showing through the points where the colors meet. Each place a unique color meets needed to intricately come together to print correctly. Created using Adobe Illustrator.

Carcosa

A large poster design inspired by the podcast Malevolent. Focused on simple colors and shapes, symmetry, and spacing I attempted to visually reproduce the podcast's dark, sickly atmosphere, with elements drawing the viewer’s eye to key areas while maintaining a sense of tension. Created using Adobe Illustrator.

A large, colorful poster design inspired by The Magnus Archives podcast. Various overlapping color modes, 3D shapes, Blue Noise textures, gradients, and pattern designs were used to create this dynamic visual experience. The composition reflects the podcast's eerie atmosphere, evoking both intrigue and unease. Created using Adobe Illustrator.

I worked as an artist in a professional capacity for 3 years at Metallics, Inc. I specialized in blueprint and art re-creation and remastering. The company mainly focused on vinyl decals and etched metal plates, using film printing and screen printing to fulfill customer requirements based on technical blueprints with precise measurements. Because of my interest and proficiency in website design and photography, I was given the task of redesigning the company's website. I designed and coded everything from scratch, using my own photography of sample products in the construction.

In my free time I try to create more personal artwork, and in trying to find inspiration, I have picked up a lot of very interesting techniques to create with. I enjoy researching other art styles and honing my skills by practicing their fundamentals. Most of my completed personal work and photography can be found showcased on my website.

In my time working with Metallics, I have learned a lot of very good tips and tricks to streamline the process for myself and my coworkers, and we frequently collaborated to think of new ways to make the work day more efficient. I consider myself very proficient in Adobe Illustrator and I'm able to answer most questions anyone may have about the program. I enjoy teaching people new things and I frequently help out new users in forums and other social media.
