I have extensive experience in print production, having created and produced everything from posters, sell sheets, and brochures to packaging, branded T-shirts, and large-scale window decals. I ensure files are set up according to a printer's specifications, with proper bleeds, trims, color settings, and high-resolution images. I'm comfortable packaging files, outlining fonts, and linking images, and I've worked with vendors to discuss materials, review and approve proofs, and troubleshoot if anything goes wrong during the process.
Jacket (Front): The band wanted to use a piece of art from Sarah King on their album cover, but were otherwise open to any design ideas I might have. I decided to use the image in its entirety on the cover, and balanced the diagonal flow of the art with the text.
Jacket (Back): I loved how Sarah combined highlighter-bright, bold shapes in her art with delicate linework and wanted to mimic that on the back. I created a graphic that utilized these elements in a more geometric way to serve as a contrast to the organic forms on the front.
Liner Notes: As I had used the full art on the cover, I wanted to focus in on some of the details in the liner notes. This left less room for the lyrics, so I experimented with columns to fit the text in the available space.
M. ROOSEVELT
Designs for M. Roosevelt's album "The Hum" on vinyl record. Using art by Sarah King on the front of the jacket, I created a complementary back and liner notes, adding yellow highlights to tie everything together. I then laid the artwork out using a template sent by the printer, ensuring I set the file up exactly as they'd requested.

CASAMIGOS HOLIDAY CASE BIN
We needed a festive case bin for retail displays that would enhance brand recognition and draw the customer's eye around the holidays. I first created a mockup, then built the production file using a template provided by the printer. At the marketing team's request, I used Photoshop to enhance the teal tones in the imagery. One challenge was setting the grid design up in a way that would best showcase all the photos, and it required a few revisions and iterations before I landed on this design.

PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE COVERS
Starting with an existing layout, I recreated and built 10 cover files for Bard's Philosophy and Literature journals. For each cover, I updated the accent color, text, and photos, using a selection of imagery I curated featuring gardens and/or compelling architecture (note: the photos used in these examples were placeholder images). I meticulously kept files organized and maintained versions for each cover throughout the project.
