My art piece, a graphic illustration, was featured in the front window of the Nasty Women, New Haven, CT art show. The piece that was in the show was sold, but art prints are available for purchase on this site!

New Haven was one of 23 cities to join the nationwide movement to organize a Nasty Women exhibition in the first days of Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s term in office. The organizers invited artists, activists, scholars, creative thinkers and anyone who identifies as a “nasty woman” or a “nasty woman ally” to submit a visual or performative work to the show to help contemplate the challenges women might face under the incoming administration.

These banners were placed in the lobby of the Millenium Hilton in lower Manhattan for a Moet promotion. The challenge was that it had to be a high end design while promoting the brand. The design problem were the horizontal labels and having to fit them in a vertical space. By creating a bold pattern of stripes that incorporated the brand’s colors the negative space was filled and made for an eye-catching and elegant design.

A design requested by the wine supplier for the new brand. The objective: to produce a banner, white background with the Sledgehammer logo in the middle.  They needed something better.  This banner was going to be used at a brand introduction event, so the look had to be impressive and reflect the style and identity that Sledgehammer has created for itself. This is the finished result.

The second solo piano release by composer, pianist and Serbian native Dimitrije Vasiljevic, Metaphor seems to embody the exploration into fluid, dynamic and unpredictable spaces. We wanted to match the imagery for the album artwork with similar qualities of swooping paint marks and playing with texture. Much the same way Dimitrije plays with "...cascading notes that merge into streams of melody..." (Chris M. Slawecki)

Cooper's Mill Menu

Food and beverage menu for Cooper’s Mill whose concept is rustic, sustainable, and places importance local food ingredients, including local spirits. The design is inspired by the farm-to-table concept. The menu incorporates illustrations of wheat, in the style of vintage etchings.  It is a quarter fold menu, which the unique folding style contributes to the farm-to-table feeling as you feel you are unfolding a newspaper.  The special paper stock chosen shows the grain of the paper fibers which adds a beautiful touch.

CitizenM Proposal

The goal of my design was to highlight one of the value added marketing amenities the distributor can provide to its accounts as part of a business pitch presentation.  The concept-only design made a great impression with the CitizenM people and was showered with compliments.

I have had the pleasure of having stayed at a CitizenM hotel (only 1 of 2 in the world at the time) in Glasgow, Scotland.  This put me at an advantage to visualize the design as I understand the concept of their hotels and their style of décor which is modern, clean lines, with a little bit of urban edge.

This project was a series of promotional advertising to get visibility with the hotel guests in their rooms.  The Director of Food & Beverage requested a special 3-dimensional print product that would draw the guest in to looking at the various ads and be interactive.  The concept was to have each of these designs as a panel of a 3-dimensional die cut cube, something the guests could touch and turn over to look at.
