EGO DEATH

Visual system design for The Internet's 2015 album "Ego Death". I chose to redesign Ego Death to highlight the band’s authentic and groovy R&B/soul style, and to highlight the band’s lead singer, Syd. Ego Death takes the listener on a journey through the ups and downs of Syd’s relationships with women and her struggles to achieve fame as an artist.

GENDERFUL

Genderful is a digital space created to normalize gender non-conforming (GNC) communities. Genderful is meant to increase trans & nonbinary visibility on the internet and educate people with little knowledge about the trans and GNC experience.

JOLTD

Joltd is a hypothetical cold brew coffee brand made from high quality, sustainably sourced arabica beans. The coffee company’s key mission is to supply fuel for creative minds and encourage individual expression. The Joltd brand’s bright and bold color scheme and energetic logo are meant to attract creative minded people who need a jolt of energy in their day.
