“Fresh & clever”

“This app is as bizarre and as clever as you want it to be. Fun, creative, and quirky, each corpse (finished story) is consistently entertaining. The stories can be brilliant or total nonsense- in my experience, they are often both.”

-User Ludakrysta

Exquisite.ly

Exquisite.ly is the best way to collaborate with friends on short, inventive writing projects. Start an idea, and pass it to a friend to add on to. A finished project has five contributors and is called a Corpse, inspired by the Surrealist creative technique of the exquisite corpse.

I was responsible for the overall graphic design and UX | UI development of the app, done in collaboration with Peter Bryan, Todd Huguenor, and Amro Naddy.

A modest undertaking for a modest company. I created six beer bottle labels designed for a Los Angeles-based micro-brewery for varieties ranging from IPA to pale to stout. I have also undertaken a design for its packaging in order to practice my branding skills.

Team Zillas Tee

I was approached by a member of the Schoolzilla team to create a team t-shirt as a thank you for their hard work. I created sever-al iterations from an intial sketch and worked closely with said member to come up with a simple, siganture Team Zillas t-shirt using their slogan.

Cheese & Love Tee

This shirt was submitted as part of a de-sign contest to come up with a new shirt for Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco to sell to their customers. The simple imagery captures not only the spirit of the city, but the familial style of the eatery and the simple approach they take to their pizza.

Raindrops Tee

This shirt was submitted, accepted and sold as part of Cotton Bureau, a curated crowd-sourcing site that helps small-scale graphic designers and freelancers sell their goods to the masses without high pro-duction costs. This design was repurposed from a print; so far, 20 have sold.

Giuseppe’s Tee

A shirt created for the Lightfoot family to commemorate our favorite spaghetti ‘n meatballs joint, Giuseppe’s, which sits atop one of Telluride’s majestic peaks. At an elevation of 11,885’, their motto is, “When you’re high, you’re hungry.”

Well-Souled Brazil

LA-based fashion photographer Mark Lei-bowtiz (Glamour, NYFW, Dove) approached me to create promotional material for his up-coming coffee table tome, Well Souled Brazil. The layout was sent to publishers and inves-tors and has since garnered enough interest to be produced.

Fashion Obsucra

Leibowtiz once again approached me to de-sign a layout for promotional material used to attract investors for the printing of a book of some of his more provocative fashion pho-tography and digital collage material. The book has since been approved and is now under production.

FASHION OBSCURA

ashion Obscura is a collection of images documenting five years

of exclusive behind the scenes access to the world's most prominent fashion shows in New York, Milan and Paris. These images, a small selection of the thousands of images in this body of work, are studies of flight and movement that capture the emotion of the

backstage environment. These photographs feature images from dozens of designers including: Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander, Nina Ricci, Diane Von Furstenberg, Giorgio Armani, Rochas, Giambatista Valli, Alberta Ferretti, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, Jason Wu and many more.

he photographs featured in Fashion Obscura offer the viewer a glimpse into private

moments backstage as the world’s most sought-after fashion designers unveil their collections. These courageous moments – that is, the shows themselves – are the birth of the collections to the audience and to the public. The dream-like images shared in Fashion Obscura are metaphors for this moment of birth. They are not photographic facsimiles of the garments but instead transport us into the fabricated fantasy of fashion as viewed through the chaos backstage at the fashion shows. Technically, Fashion Obscura reflects aspects of Eadweard J Muybridge’s motion studies and Harold Edgerton’s multi-strobe techniques. When I shoot these photographs I focus on translating the kaleidoscope of movement and energy into a distilled but elegant image that reflects what I see at each show. Muybridge and Edgerton created images to factually prove visual ideas – that, all four of a horse’s feet are, in fact, off the ground for a moment while galloping for example. Their pictures provided a never-before-seen point of view, using photography as a mechanism to illustrate and educate new and often abstract concepts. In the case of Fashion Obscura, the lens creates a translation of the complex role of fashion in society from its moment of birth on the runway. This reverses the process of Muybridge and Edgerton who took science (photography) and used it to eventually create what most would consider art, while I am taking art (fashion) and translating it through a scientific process to provide a visual commentary for the abstract and often inaccessible world of runway fashion. Fashion images can be incredibly iconic, dictate trends, and sometimes turn everything upside down and inform the medium (fashion) itself.

Artist Statement

ark just completed his seventeenth

season shooting backstage at the women’s ready-to-wear fashion shows in New York, Milan and Paris. Working exclusively for Glamour Magazine, Mark has received unparalleled access to more than 1500 shows where he worked to create the series shown here. A true industry insider, Mark held a series of three invitation-only exhibitions in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2010. Featuring an initial selection of 16 images from this series, the shows lead to press about Mark’s work in key fashion publications including WWD, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Elle and over 200 blogs. Many of the comments begged for public shows of the

work, but Mark felt the series needed time to mature before releasing it to the public. He has spent an additional three years working to refine his artistic vision and to produce a more complete body of work. The series is now ready for publication and includes hundreds of never-before-seen images that feature his truly unique perspective of backstage. Previously published in the coffee table book Well Souled South Africa and with another upcoming book scheduled to begin shooting in Brazil this June, Mark is committed to creating bodies of photographic imagery that enrich the human experience. Fashion Obscura is ready for publication and Mark looks forward to further discussions with you regarding the next steps.

BUILD Conference Brochures

BUILD, a national youth entrepreneurship program, awarded me a contract to design their year-end brochures for their annual Youth Business Plan Competitions.

Thesis Calendar

A calendar designed for my thesis project. While it may have been a tad reductive to reduce my evaluations for each day’s progress down to three choices, it did help to maintain a tight schedule with much work to be done and was a welcome laugh every once in a while to break the tension of my cul-minating semester of grad school.

3D Modeling & Rendering

These are a small selection of 3D models that I built and rendered for various studio projects during grad school. Each involved modeling an entire building in Rhinoceros, and then rendering with V-Ray or Maxwell and compositing in Photoshop.
