Hi. The projects in this book are ones that I believe best represent who I am as a designer. I believe that design should be more than just selling things, that it can and should be a tool for change. I believe that natural forms are rarely improved upon, and that the simplest solution is often the best one.

ÂŹ

Thanks for looking.

CLASS

Southpaw in San Francisco’s mission district offers traditional Southern BBQ and house-brewed beer. This project re-imagines their brand and packaging ¬

for a line of bottled beer.

OVERVIEW

As a brand with a real sense of humor, Southpaw’s packaging was a great opportunity to be irreverent. Drawing on Southern stereotypes, my design is based on illustrations of a dignified family from the Deep South. I strove “cheap” design with ironically rich ¬

details in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.

CLASS

Set, an app that functions as a daily planner and list-making tool, arose from the difficult challenge of creating a productivity app that stood out in a very ÂŹ

crowded marketplace.

OVERVIEW

My main goal in designing Set was to create a planner that was as sleek and minimal as possible. Using intuitive touch control and a bold typographic style, I was able to strip the design down to its fundamentals while still providing powerful functionality.

Hawaiian is a complete re-imagining of the airline’s branding, including logo, brand guidelines, stationery and ¬

marketing material.

OVERVIEW

In designing for an airline, I wanted to create an identity that was at once trustworthy and fun. Drawing on my experience growing up in Hawaii, I set iconic objects of the islands against bright colors to create simple images that immediately remind the viewer with clean typography suggests both ¬

safety and responsibility.

CLASS

The Science of Coffee is a theoretical line of products released by the California Academy of Sciences, as part ÂŹ

of their popular NightLife event series.

OVERVIEW

The concept behind my design was to treat the packaging as display cases: as part of an educational exhibit, the packaging should be reminiscent of the museum itself. This approach allowed the products themselves to be the heroes and for the packaging to play its Bright gradient bases for the products soften the sterility of the look, and produce interesting reflections on the ÂŹ

CLASS

The Human Extinction Movement is a group arguing for the voluntary phasing out of the human race. This project proposes a new identity and website for ¬

the movement.

OVERVIEW

The narrative possibilities of the web are something that are being explored and pushed every day as the medium evolves. As an inherently extreme idea, it was an interesting challenge making Human Extinction’s goals and the gravity of the concept while still remaining appealing and approachable. I used relative density and sparsity of images to create a narrative arc as the ¬

user progresses through the site.

WHY THIS M ATTER S

T H E A RG U M E N T

There is a theory in evolutionary known as the “super-predator” theory, which states that periodically a predator will evolve that is so adept at hunting its prey that it will literally decimate their population. This in turn leads to its own decline, as its population explodes and its resources disappear. Humanity is reaching this point. The only difference is that our efficiency has reached such a level that we threaten to take down not only one or two prey species, but all of earth’s ecosystem.

OUR MIS S ION

The Project is a movement, made up of people who care about life on planet Earth. It is not full of misanthropes and anti-social, Malthusian misfits, taking morbid delight in death. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Voluntary human extinction is the humanitarian alternative to human disasters. We do not believe in suicide, or eugenics, or any involuntary means of reducing the birth rate (or increasing the death rate). We believe, simply, in voluntarily deciding not to reproduce. It’s easy to forget that another way to bring about a reduction in our numbers is to simply stop making more of us. The idea of all of us voluntarily refraining from procreation is often dismissed without much thought. However,

work through the various socially-instilled blocks to clear thinking, we will arrive at virtually the same conclusion: we should voluntarily phase ourselves out for the good of humanity and planet. When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth’s biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, evolve (if they believe in evolution), and will perhaps pass away, as so many of Nature’s “experiments” have done throughout the eons. The Human Extinction Project is not about death. It is about life, and the future of our planet.

CLASS

Pure Luck Farm & Dairy is a high-end, organic cheesemaker from Austin, Texas. This project is a redesign of their ÂŹ

packaging and identity.

OVERVIEW

The design for Pure Luck incorporates a hand-lettered identity, suggesting the artisanal quality of the cheese itself. The design aesthetic I adopted is a take on classic typographic packaging styles, which is meant to represent both tradition and change. The organic, is emphasized by the production process of the wheels: the boxes are left raw, ÂŹ

with a laser-etched design.

Inspired by the name “Loop,” this book is a philosophical exploration of the idea of time.

Elements will loop back on themselves, freeze in place, or otherwise play with their expected trajectories. slit-scan, captures time in a flat form, merging video and still photography ¬

called the time system. We will consider whether time might have the following topological properties among others: closed; open non-ending (non-ending and non-beginning), and branching. It is easily seen that if we were to represent this structure by perfectly elastic cords the properties in question would be preserved under stretching, contracting and bending, so long as the cords are not torn. To display fully the contrast between topological and metrical properties in the case of time, reference must be made to the notion of a metrication of time, a detailed exposition of whichto come. A metrication of time provides a systematic way of assigning dates to the beginnings

No matter how you twist, bend or otherwise distort this object, so long as the surface is not broken or torn, it will remain a torus. For our present purposes we want to contrast topological properties with metrical properties which are properties whose explication requires reference to some quantitative measure of distance and are not in general preserved under all one-one continuous transformations. For instance, the volume of a torus is a metrical but not topological as it is not preserved if we bend and twist the torus. I have referred to the notion of a structure. For present purposes we can understand a structure as an ordered set. In the case of time, the set is the set of all temporal items ordered by the various temporal relations defined on that set. An investigation of the topology of time is then an investigation of the topological properties of this structure which I have

CLASS

Creative Cloud is a collaborative project reinterpreting the Adobe’s Creative ¬

Cloud identity for a student audience.

OVERVIEW

Working with Julia Lemke, Tolleson Design, and the Adobe Studio team, our task was to create an identity that embodied the spirit of experimentation and learning. We created a series of installations that re-imagined the Creative Cloud identity in a variety of styles and mediums, each form inspired itself. The pieces are meant to be seen as a set, with the wide variety of forms ¬

creating a synthesis of disciplines.
