F is for Freedom. It always feels free until it’s taken away. In California, lockdown has been in full effect for about a month. It’s easy to feel like our freedoms are being slowly stripped away as mandates become more and more strict. It really puts things in perspective as we find our values starting to change. Some things that seemed important before really aren’t. Hopefully the values you hold strongest become more important. I’m using this time to be thankful for family..., our health and my livelihood. I’m looking forward to things getting back to normal though. Let’s keep doing what we need to and I know we’ll be more grateful for what we have after this is all done. #36daysoftype #f #typography #graphicdesign #type #color #perspective #corona #stayathome #create #begrateful

E is for Empathy. A learned skill and enlightened emotion. We could all use a little more of it right now. Practice empathy and see how it can be contagious. #36daysoftype #e ... #sketch #letterform #colorful #design #designer #graphicdesign #roots #typography #art #empathy #expression #type See more

It’s been a crazy year. 2019 was filled with new challenges and new rewards. Between raising our son, and working on a new full time startup, I haven’t had much time to share my work. I’m hoping that changes in 2020! I believe it’s important as a creator to not only create, but share with others what you’re working on. Since most of my work in 2019 is under wraps, I thought I’d share some freelance work from a while back. This was a health tracker app that turned out pretty sweet. Have a happy new year everyone!

Sometimes all it takes is a few t-shirts to get the team pumped!

Don’t forget it. Design is everywhere.

Phone pricing app redesign. Light and clean.

As part of a new brand in development, these business cards turned out super clean. Thanks for the awesome letterpress as always Clove St Press . Swipe for a blind impression >>

Something a little different coming out of the studio today. Some e-commerce work for a skincare line.

New development work hot off the screen! I recently got the opportunity to do a web dev project with my buddy @gabezilla_01 . He killed the design and It was super fun to bring it to life. It didn’t hurt that it was for the rad home audio company Marantz America . Awesome workin’ with you again Gabe!
