Entering the matrix

Remix of our NBA socks editorial for @nytimes ✨ Feet-uring @braxtonbrowniii

Using the promise of family reunion t-shirts as an excuse to work on some lettering ideas during my winter limbo 😅

A suite of label concepts for Fleur Dalix, a budding French candle company. These didn’t end up getting used, but I loved working on these illustrations mixing digital collage, photography and 3D to create an exaggerated take on the scent notes for each candle. Excited to put the style to use on something new 👀

Sliding in on the tail end of hispanic heritage month, which is weirdly half of Sept and half of Oct? But I’m half Mexican so that works out nicely. Here is half my face in celebration 🙃

Three vessels created by Party of One Studio as an ongoing series and personal studio project. These were created slowly, in moments of spare time or creative meditation over this past year. More on the process and materials, soon 🖤

Gave my partner @sunascendant and his studio @ps379studio a little facelift while indulging his Gemini ways with not one but TWO logo concepts. Just kidding, he picked the first one I made after initially not liking it and then changing his mind later 🥲. Anyway, here are all my favorites! More goodies to come. Made with love and a license to roast 😘

Tiny animals to fuel your Friday 💕✨ Some behind the scenes images of our production design work for Kaytee early this year. We created textural, monochromatic tabletop sets for these little cuties to explore and interact with. It was a wild 3 days on set and mostly a blur but looking back on these images I (also) feel warm and fuzzy ❤️

From 2019—a brief logo exploration with Gather & Seek for a speakeasy in West Palm Beach. The space attached to the bar’s location was a record shop, so I liked the little nod to vinyl (among other things) with the eyes. Sadly Covid ended the project early in its planning, but hopefully the idea can transform somehow.
