My contribution for the fifth edition of 36 Days of Type explores a kinetic approach to the letter and number forms. 36 Days of Type is a project that invites Designers, Illustrators and Graphic Artists to express their particular view on letters and numbers of our alphabet. 36 days of restless creativity, where participants are challenged to design a letter or number each day, resulting an outcome of the ability to represent the same symbol from many different perspectives. A project that aims to be a space for creation around typography and its endless graphic possibilities.

This is a typographic rendition of ODESZA's double vinyl LP studio album 'A Moment Apart' that deconstructs the process of digital music production. Similar to the development of a melody that integrates a wide range of instruments at different frequencies, this is echoed by harmonizing numerous typefaces at various scales to build one composition.

An ongoing series of kinetic type explorations that combines my new interest in motion graphics with typography. In order to stay competitive in the field I've found that it's crucial to continue building knowledge in techniques and various skills, while remaining true to my foundation in typographic approach.

Foundation Design Conference is a gathering for designers, artists, and all creatives for a weekend of knowledge, insight, and techniques to continue excelling in the industry.

My entry for the Graphic Design Festival Scotland 2017 international poster competition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWvbMZdHY8 In the following Youtube video, Noah narrates his battle with alcoholism. As stated in the description of his video, he would tell his journey if he stayed sober for at least one year. He discusses his story from his first sip of alcohol at the age of 13, to celebrating his one year of sobriety at 28. Typeset at 8pt on an A1 sized poster, this piece takes the transcript of his story from the first second to the last. Reimagining the behavior of a recovering alcoholic, by turning the poster 180 degrees the audience experiences a relapse effect to hear the story again and start over.

In collaboration with: Gary Swayngim This is the journey of two graphic designers traveling through Hong Kong and Japan from March 19th — April 2nd. They’ve documented their day to day experiences with their friends and wanted to share their perspective, for those interested in traveling. They’ve reinterpreted living this trip by sharing their photographs, documenting their purchases, and telling their personal stories from each day. The form of the booklet references an airline ticket that stores the paperwork inside. The barcode on the back is the plane ride back from Japan to California.

In collaboration with: Daniel Perez Drawing inspiration from the Long Beach City Council meeting observed on Tuesday August 23, 2016, this signage system highlights the power of the people. As members of the city, individuals understand what actions should be done to benefit not only themselves, but the city as a whole. They discovered that the podium and microphone were powerful tools to help the citizens of Long Beach voice their opinion to aid in moving the city forward.

The redesign for the Los Angeles Times focuses on retaining the rich value of the written articles in the newspaper. Commonly featured on newspapers are the text of the articles already being exposed. This has been reduced by limited the one half of the fold to display only the date, weather and pricing information, while the remaining half has the featured articles. In addition to this idea, one spread is dedicated to each article.
