Little Book of Wisdom
Gail Anderson, a former designer for Rolling Stone, gave us a challenge with hundreds of wood type letters. We were tasked with writing out five quotes about graphic design from five different graphic designers placing each letter individually.
The work was tedious, but ultimately lots of fun. Learning to build type by the letter, instead of just typing with a selected font, forces you to think about typography is a very different way.

La Industria
In my classes at SVA, Milton Glaser had us envision and design a restaurant for the New York area. We needed to find a location, develop an identity, and craft a well-researched menu in the span of a week.
In the last few years, Brooklyn has seen a dramatic rise in beer halls and microbreweries. This resurgence of beer aficionados has opened a new market. After some research, I discovered that my own neighborhood of Bushwick was once a great hub for beer breweries. Capitalizing on the newfound popularity of craft beers, I designed a restaurant that could embrace the roots of the neighborhood while providing an exciting place to eat and drink. The beer hall aspects are blended with a taqueria which can provide food that is culturally relevant to the surrounding hispanic demographic and at an appropriate price point for area's average income.

The Bitter Sweet Summer Tour
Moving away from Tampa to start on my MFA in Design at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, I decided to go out with a bang. I designed some fun invitations, glasses, and menus based around a party that was both bitter and sweet.
Even the beers were selected to reflect a transition from both sweet to bitter flavors, while geographically moving from local Florida beers to distant New York brews.

Graphic Design History
About to enter graduate school at the School of Visual Arts, I decided I needed to brush up on my graphic design history. I figured if writing information helps you memorize, then designing a poster out of information must make you a master... here's hoping.

Use Your Powers for Good
The Use Your Powers for Good Project encourages talented creatives to make something that expresses something no one around them seems to be especially interested in. If it is something that promotes the civic good, that's even better.

Using my education in politics and design, I helped a Florida teach defeat a 16-year incumbent despite being heavily outspent. With every campaign piece being a crucial opportunity to win votes, every design decision needed to be a guaranteed win.
