In 2020 my wife and I teamed up to make the best wedding invitations that have ever existed. We decided that a wedding (really just love, in general) is all about making a choice to be with someone forever. It's about blazing your own path, together. That idea, plus the fact that our wedding was taking place on Halloween, led us to use a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" kind of vibe.

Kayla is an incredible illustrator so she made these amazing illustrations. The invitation is meant to invoke that Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Scooby-Doo kind of mystery solvers aesthetic. This worked especially well since we got married at the Woodruff-Fontaine House, a spooky historical mansion. The Thank You card is meant to show us on our honeymoon together in Japan (a trip that Covid has made difficult to accomplish - one day we're gonna make it over there!). She totally nailed both pictures and I couldn't be more stoked to be a part of it. Then, in an effort to pull my own weight I did most of the custom lettering and all the layout work and production. We actually had the front of the invitations gold-leafed! And honestly? They look incredible. Also, the photos on the Save The Dates were taken by Kayla's incredibly talented cousin, Jenni Kilburn. It was a real group effort!

Posters for the Electro Acoustic Barn Dance in Fredericksburg, VA. I've been designing their posters for the past 7 years and every year I try to change it up a lot. The only constant is that ever since the first iteration they liked the robot so much that they have asked me to keep them in there. They’ve become somewhat of an unofficial mascot. This is a really special project for me because it's almost completely open-ended. I try to challenge myself every year to do something I've never done before and so far I believe I've lived up to that challenge.

In 2023 I had the opportunity to work with Music Export Memphis on their showcase for NXNE in Toronto. MEM does a lot of good work for Memphis musicians so I was incredibly excited to work with them. I decided to lean on the idea of "MEM" being our airport designation and treat Canada as kind of a "Faraway Kingdom” so the theme ended up being an airplane trip across a fantasy map. I did all the type work, the map itself, and all the vector illustrations in Illustrator before I took it into Procreate and drew all the map elements by hand. Other than the logos and the compass, everything is handmade by me! (Oh, and the the two skiers are Wingding glyphs - I love incorporating Wingdings and Webdings any time I can).

These are an assortment of redesigned posters for documentaries about design. 

A locally-owned lingerie shop in Memphis got in touch with me to do some work for their Valentine’s Day ads and ended up hiring me to do some billboards too! A few years later I was even brought back to create some new imagery for the billboards… which included the chance to adapt their iconic, hand-drawn logo into a horizontal version! I had a lot of fun working with these clients. They were very communicative and they knew what they wanted so it really made my job a breeze.

During my time in graduate school we were tasked with creating an ad campaign for a social issue. At the time it was nearing the one year anniversary of a friend of mine's suicide so I decided to take on the heavy subject of suicide prevention.

A friend of mine started a podcast with a few their friends and I was lucky enough to be hired to design the logo for it. I went through a few ideas but the one that really stuck was how there are four O’s and I could use them as kind of a multiple choice, fill in the bubble type thing. They loved it and the rest is history!

Oh! I also made this crazy 90’s design for them to put on merchandise. It’s essentially the cheesiest thing I could think of (I just parodied the Saved By The Bell logo).

For the past six years or so I've been on and off writing a musical. At some point I decided to make it a large multi-media project and create a comic book-companion to go with the music for whenever I got it all done. This is the first of three issues of that comic book. Enjoy!

I do a lot of work for bands and local businesses.
This is a chunk of some of the ones I'm pretty proud of.

There’s a pretty cool subscription service called FX Crate that will send you a box of special effects makeup and tools every month based on different themes. I was approached by someone from their marketing department about creating some monthly graphics for them and thought it was a pretty fun idea. It was a pretty quick turnaround too. I was contacted whenever their usual team couldn’t get something done in time so I would turn usually these over in less than a day or two. Sometimes they just needed some type placed on an image and sometimes they needed entire concepts developed but we always figured out the best and quickest way forward.

The Delta International Film Festival takes place every year at Delta State University in Cleveland, MS. While I was a student there in 2012 I took on the extra responsibility of designing their branding for that year.

As a graduate component to my History of Graphic Design class I designed a series of ads for lightbulbs resembling different eras of marketing and design.

I did a series of informative posters in the study of retro schoolhouse info-poster in order to address cyber bullying. Not only is cyber bullying just as bad as regular bullying in the right context it also has a very strange effect on the one doing the bullying...

While studying modernism and post-modernism I was tasked with creating posters that exemplified all of the things we were studying at the time.
