MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER













Skateboard Dress2025Assignment:Using the provided dress form, create an art piece celebrating a national day of your choice. To be displayed as part of the “Today is the Day! Every Day is a Celebration” show on Madison Avenue.

Solution:Using authentically worn skateboards from skaters around New York City, this piece is a celebration of National Go Skateboarding Day. The dress draws from multiple parts of skate culture, including a skirt made from chain link fencing and skate-decks, a corset sewn from grip tape, and a cement handbag with rebar handles.







Tokyo Drifter Title Sequence Redesign2025Assignment:Redesign a title sequence for a movie of your choosing. Utilize strong typography and motion graphics to create an engaging and informational hook into the film.

Solution:Created for Seijun Suzuki’s 1966 yakuza film Tokyo Drifter, this piece modernizes the intro with a slick blend of english and japanese typography. Utilizing the same background visuals and score as the original, the redesign seeks not to do away with the directors vision, but improve on it with slick sans-serif type and simple, clean motion graphics.






Lost It All? Win It Back!2025Assignment:Design a two-tone risograph poster that uses the words Lost, Missing, or Wanted.

Solution:A tongue and cheek satire of a traditional Lost poster, this piece encourages the viewer to gamble on lottery tickets, scratchers, sweepstakes, and raffles. The edges of each ticket are laser cut, enabling them to be indicidually torn off.





Brick Business Card2026Assignment:Create a small, memorable giveaway item that would stand out in a sea of basic business cards. Each unit should cost under $3 to produce and be possible to make en-mass.

Solution:Laser etched onto custom cut half-inch thick bricks, these act as my personal business cards; Inconvenient enough to be memorable, but not so inconvenient as to sour the interaction.






Saints & Sinners Trading Cards
2025Assignment:Design and produce a set of informational trading cards on a subject/group of people of your choosing.

Solution: Set of trading cards featuring notable saints and sinners from throughout history. Visually inspired by early printed works, the cards feature blackletter typography and intricate drop-caps. Wrapped in custom stamped butchers paper and tied off with twine, the packaging too evokes times of old.






Roulette Guitar
2025Assignment:Choose a decade, artist, and song present in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and build a guitar that embodies the song. This can be literal or interpretive. Designed for and displayed in the 2025 SVA Spring Show.

Solution: Based on Steely Dan’s 1972 hit single, Do It Again, this guitar basks in the excess and sin of gambling at the casino. The body of the guitar geatures a functioning miniature roulette wheel, as well as a green felt roulette board. Accompanying the guitar are pieces of gambling paraphernalia, including chips, cards, and dice. Everything is displayed inside of a red velvet lined guitar case to really get across the grandeur of a casino.
