The Roost The only place in Lawrence, KS, you can have a cocktail with your breakfast.

What’s the 411? The Roost is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown Lawrence, KS. Named after the owner’s family barn, it symbolizes a place to gather and enjoy community... and cocktails at any hour. They are known for having food so good, you’ll lick the plate clean. What Did I Do? The rebrand was inspired by the owner’s barn: warm and welcoming with eclectic touches. The owners wanted it to be colorful and lively but not childish. I created a variety of collateral to accompany the new brand, a website, storefront, packaging, and more.

The Grand Budapest Hotel An icon series narrating the iconic European Wes Anderson film.

What’s the 411? The Roost was was founded by a group of close friends whose goal was to cultivate a lively atmosphere for other friends and families to gather and enjoy each other’s company. They are well known for having the best brunch in the area, so good you’ll lick the plate clean. What Did I Do? I have created an identity for The Roost that captures the intentions of the owners. They wanted something that was colorful and lively, but still felt “grown-up.” I also created a variety of collateral, from a website to new storefront signage and business cards.

A Westside Story An examination into the typographic details that typically go unnoticed.

What’s the 411? Westside is a neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. All contained within just a few blocks, it is packed with unique stores and restaurants. The area is alive with design and typographic detail everywhere you look, if you’re paying attention. What Did I Do? I designed, photographed, and wrote this book to encourage others to be more cognizant of the beautiful typography that can be found on the street side. It’s about being more present in the world around us, whether that is Westside or beyond.

Stranger Things Playing Cards A detail-packed, illustrative play on the hit 2017 Netflix series.

What’s the 411? Stranger Things is a science fiction Netflixproduced show that is set in the 80’s. It follows a group of kids as they encounter a series of alien events and navigate interpersonal relationships. It’s entertaining and humorous to many generations. What Did I Do? This was a passion project, combining my love for card games and the show. Each of the face cards shows a character in the normal world on one side and in the “Upside Down” when the card gets flipped. I worked in a lot of little details that make each character so iconic.

Della-Terra Hand-crafted, “imperfectly-perfect” ceramics with an Italian heritage.

What’s the 411? Della-Terra is a small ceramic shop in San Francisco. Their motto is “imperfectlyperfect,” a phrase that encapsulates their quirky pieces. All made by hand and never the same, Della-Terra produces a variety of organic, earth-inspired kitchenware. What Did I Do? I created the brand system and print deliverables. The brand compliments the organic qualities of the ceramics without mimicing them. The logo is a reference to the earthy elements that inspire each piece. The main typeface adds subtle personality.
