New Museum Poster Series

The New Museum of Contemporary Art, located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, is the only museum in the area dedicated entirely to contemporary art. Known for highlighting new artists and fresh ideas, it inspired the design of this poster series. I chose modern typefaces to reflect the museum’s innovative spirit, and based the grid system—six rows by two columns—on the structure of the building itself. The color palette comes from the museum’s official branding to keep the look consistent and recognizable.

ICFF

The International Contemporary Furniture Fair is an annual convention held at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, bringing together both emerging and established furniture designers from around the world. Each year, the event serves as a platform to present, celebrate, and draw inspiration from the latest innovations in contemporary furniture design, with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing their work. The newly developed logo and brand identity draw influence from the distinctive visual language found in contemporary furniture.

CarMax

CarMax, a leading used-car retailer headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, offers a streamlined car-buying experience. During my time at The Martin Agency, I contributed to the development of a new advertising campaign that highlighted the simplicity of using CarMax’s services, infused with a touch of humor. My role focused on designing the animated typographic frames, incorporating CarMax’s bold yellow brand color and signature typeface over a mix of cool and warm imagery to create a visually cohesive and engaging campaign.

Ally Bank

Ally Bank is an online-only financial institution that offers everything from savings accounts to auto loans. While at Anomaly, I’ve worked on bringing Ally-branded Hulu slates to life through motion design.

Control Opening Sequence

Control is a 2007 biographical film, following the life of Ian Curtis, singer of the late 1970s Manchester band Joy Division. Based on the biography Touching from a Distance by Deborah Curtis, Ian's wife, the movie illustrates the emotion, strain, fame, and struggles of Ian, all of which became out of his control.

Six Albums of New Wave

Six Albums of New Wave is a sixty-page accordion book that highlights a selection of my favorite albums from the new wave music movement. These albums were chosen for both their musical significance and the visual impact of their record sleeves. Designed to be read from left to right, the book functions as a chronological timeline, guiding the viewer through the era’s defining moments.
