This shirt for Fight the New Drug explores the panther as a symbol of quiet strength and transformation.

DESCRIPTION:
Created as a personal project for my son, this design reimagines what a school shirt can be. Built around Sollevare’s signature yellow, the piece channels a youthful culture with bold textures and expressive typography that make a statement. Rather than relying on clip-art mascots or plain block text, every detail was crafted to feel intentional, setting it apart from generic school shirts and giving it an energy that students would actually want to wear.

DESCRIPTION:
Developed a complete visual identity for the From the Logo podcast, including custom cover art, social media avatars, and platform banners. The design leans into bold simplicity—center court lines, X’s and O’s, and BYU blue—to symbolize legacy, movement, and taking the long shot in life and in sport. Work also included market research to shape the brand voice and align the podcast with its target audience.

DESCRIPTION:
A Sunday night session became a creative playground, experimenting with ways to visually capture the essence of “Gough.” Drawing inspiration from the energy and aesthetic of surf and skate culture, the raw edge of pop punk, and a personal love for movement and music, the session focused on translating lifestyle and attitude into visual form. Bold shapes, dynamic lines, and unexpected textures were explored to evoke motion, freedom, and grit—creating a foundation for a visual identity that feels alive, personal, and unapologetically authentic.

DESCRIPTION:
Rival Brand Gear Club is a concept brand built around a personal obsession: gear. Backpacks, carabiners, power tools, books, skate decks, surf fins — anything well-made, purposeful, and built to last.
This project explores the culture of collecting and celebrating the objects that shape our lives and habits. Every image used in this project comes from my own personal gear collection, creating a brand that is as much about identity as it is about product.
The visual direction reflects the mindset behind Rival itself: intentional, durable, and made for those who value craft, design, and the stories their gear carries. Rival Brand Gear Club is a tribute to the objects that equip us to build, move, and live with purpose.

To celebrate my son Axl's 10th birthday, I wanted to create a unique and memorable invitation that reflects his love for basketball, especially the NBA, Jayson Tatum, and the Boston Celtics. To achieve this, I designed a VIP Birthday Credential that mimics the exclusive passes one might receive at a high-profile NBA event. [Not affiliated with the NBA, Boston Celtics, or Jayson Tatum.]
