Mort Modern Pro

Showcasing a modern interpretation of a mid-century typeface Mort Modern Pro is a serif typeface in 56 styles inspired by mid-century advertising lettering. The teal, yellow, pink, and orange colors are reminiscent of the mid-century era, while the stark black background gives the book a slick, modern look and feel. To show just how extensive the typeface is, I created a two page spread with blocks of color that feature a character of each weight and style, and a cover that showcases a variety of the typeface’s many glyphs in the same playful, eye-catching way.

Live Music

Capturing the defining moments of a live show There’s nothing like a live show. The energy and sense of community is invigorating. Balancing all the most difficult circumstances a photographer can face including low light, flashing light, and continuous subject movement can be difficult and even frustrating, but being able to capture and immortalize moments that will never happen the exact same way again is something I am very lucky, and always thrilled, to do.

The Anthem Society

Tangible reminders of faith, community, and hope The Anthem Society started as a blog for another project. It was a personal outlet that celebrated finding faith, community, and hope in music. I wanted to expand that idea into an online store that would create and sell tangible representations and reminders of the hope that is found in music. The Anthem Society store sells t-shirts, posters, and accessories based on the music of popular Christian and Christian-adjacent artists so people can carry that hope and share it with those around them.

O T HOW

Designing a thinkpiece for two different audiences For this assignment, we were tasked with selecting an article and designing it in two completely different styles for two different publications. Some projects lend themselves to experimenting with something you have been wanting do for a while, which was exactly the case for this project. I knew I wanted my first concept to include a funky collage with a limited color palette, which then paired well with a more traditional layout and typography. To contrast this, the second layout is much more organic with a handwritten font, bright colors, and organic shapes.

Fork & Forage

Creating a farm-to-table culinary experience Fork & Forage was an intimate pop-up chef table created in partnership with a team of Johnson & Wales culinary students. My two design team members and I created the branding and deliverables for their final pop-up event. I was responsible for creating the individual menus, which were printed on two pieces of paper and stitched together with a piece of thread, the large format menu, and acted as the Art Director and Client Communicator for the project. We ultimately delivered six individual menus, one large format menu, six comment cards, and eight table tents.

Healthful

Developing & maintaining healthy eating habits with ease For this assignment, we were asked to help solve a problem for a classmate. My partner was looking for ways to track their eating and develop healthier eating habits. Healthful was created to help young adults meet their goal to maintain a healthy diet by tracking meals, discovering new recipes, and learning about nutrition and developing and maintaining healthy habits.

White Rabbit

A great trip from the comfort of your own home The White Rabbit beverage and accompanying “Have a Nice Trip” campaign was created during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2021. What a year of cancelled events, missed plans, zoom meetings, and cabin fever taught us was that we have to find ways to relax, enjoy ourselves, and have a great time right where we are. This campaign takes advantage of the two meanings of the phrase “have a nice trip,” offering audiences a great time right from home. They may not be able to travel, but they can still have a great trip. No illicit drugs or travelling necessary.

Band Tees

Designing your future favorite shirt In high school, I designed a line of merchandise for a class assignment. Thanks to the world of social media, one of the bands, Tenth Avenue North, saw my design and liked it so much that they asked to print it on t-shirts. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to create many more designs for them, and a handful of other artists based in Nashville, TN including We the Kingdom, Austin French, and RED.

Selling the News

Connecting sight and sound through kinetic typography “Selling the News” by Switchfoot is a grungy, biting, protest song. Its message and fast pace made it the perfect song to create a kinetic typography lyric video for. The style and imagery came naturally, but the real magic is within the transitions. The energy and movement of the song is captured within the quick, dynamic transitions between the lines of the song.

A Wild Note of Longing

Displaying a century of American art A Wild Note of Longing: Albert Pinkham Ryder & a Century of American Art was an exhibition at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in New Bedford Massachusetts. The exhibition brought together Ryder’s most iconic paintings as well as a dozen pieces by well-known modernists who were inspired by Ryder. Working with the Creative Director, I designed signage for the exhibit including the painting labels, donor panel, movie excerpt panel, and artwork guide.

Paragraphs from the studio of a recluse 6:34 MINUTES | 2021

This short film features painter Bill Jensen (b. 1945) in his studio in Brooklyn. He describes the powerful impact Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847–1917) has had on his practice and the relationship he sees between Ryder and the primordial elements of nature. The title is taken from Ryder’s only published statement, which was published in Broadway Magazine in 1905. This short film is an excerpt from an experimental documentary film Wuertz and Cowan are currently working on that will

Frankenstein

A closer look into the heart of Frankenstein’s monster Frankenstein is a classic gothic novel, filled with significant themes, rich imagery, and extensive symbolism. What surprised me most about the original story was the monster and how different he is from how he’s portrayed in pop culture. In the story, he is eloquent, intelligent, and above all else, wants to be loved by his creator. The cover reflects the conflict between the monster and his creator throughout the story. The heart, which is hand-stitched to the cover, represents Dr. Frankenstein’s creation and it’s desire for connection and love. The mismatched, scrambled letters, which are hand-cut, represent the doctor’s descent into insanity as the story progresses.
