Joseph’s Market is a very well established chain of high end Italian groceries that I worked directly with opening several stores. In that process I helped design several projects and set up permits for a number of different jobs including exterior channel letters which are shown, a dozen or so different wall mounted menus for each department as well as exterior window graphics.

I designed the new logo for FLAME Wine and Liquors. They are an established liquor store in the North Palm Beach area since 1974. They have recently moved to a new much larger location and I have been designing their logo and signage since. This logo was made to be put on their exterior awning and used for signage and packaging. I designed it to be clean and simple and to the point. I also have shown an example of it used on spinner signs for people to hold on the street as promotion.

I designed this wall display along with the interior design company of The Boca Raton Chamber, Daring by Design. I put together this project that took place over about a 6 month period. This design was created based on hierarchical preference to spots purchased on a yearly or multi-year basis. This is a project that will continue to change and earn the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce income for years to come.

The display was built with a acrylic back piece surfaced with brushed aluminum. The back piece was cut using a CNC and has hand sanded edges. Each Logo is printed on clear vinyl and second surface mounted on clear acrylic with a white backing, which gives it a glossy finish. Each logo display is mounted to the wall using stainless steel stand-offs at a consistent height.

This is a monument design I made and was installed in early 2019. The concept was made to match the colors of the new building and to have some similar features. I did however change the roof to a metal roof for sizing and cost.

The logos shown were conceptual logo designs for a local realty company and show my creative process for concept and design to make a new logo from scratch. I often try to find new ways to use the same objects to send the desired message and establish quality branding.

For this project I was commissioned to design the transom boat graphics for a 40 ft fishing boat. I was given a name and given artistic liberty to come up with this design including and I came up with the design shown. I also included an example T-shirt and a hat design.

This is a conceptual monument designed for Inlet Harbour Lounge & Liquors. The design is aimed at the target market of boaters and fisherman that frequent the area near the Palm Beach inlet on Blue Heron in Riviera Beach, FL. I decided to show this piece with a Marlin Featuring Inlet Harbour as new branding and Lounge and Liquors and secondary due to the large amount of signage for the liquor store and not as much for the lounge in the back. I also decided to make this a lit channel letter sign with wood texture on the monument face and faux stone at the base.

I was commissioned to design a logo for a new Pizza shop in the area. We used the diamond shape because his intentions at first were to incorporate a diamond plate texture to the logo but i advised against it for the actual design of the logo to keep it simple for print and for creating the electrical sign shown.

Its a minimal logo and a play on words with the shape of the symbol representing a diamond for perfection and a slice of pizza or a piece of pie. We also liked the correlation with the superman logo and the fact they also sell Heros. It's a simple but memorable logo that can work across platforms. This electrical sign would be very comparable to say a Burger Fi electrical sign.

I designed these graphics for a local voice and data company in order to draw more brand recognition and get them more phone calls. The design worked so well the vehicle graphics paid for itself with phone calls in the first few months.

This project was a complete change over of the previous Health Van design. It included creating a custom 10th scale template of the van because this model was difficult to find. Once I made a template of both sides, the front and the back we sent it and got back a rough design and layout. I redesigned the rough draft and finalized the proof shown.

Once the proof was approved we removed all old vinyl and cleaned the exterior of the bus and prepped it for applying the new vinyl. I assisted with the lay out and final touches of vinyl while my manager installed it the rest.

This is a project I did that was referred to me from a friend for an out of state medicinal concentrate company. The Design was simple a subliminal with the Bee taking the shape of the letter b in dab.

The B.E. Easy Music and Arts Festival is a non profit 501 (c) 3. I was one of the founding board members and helped throw the annual event for over four years. In that time i took it upon myself to run the events website, create all forms of branding/design and run all forms of social media marketing campaigns. Over a four year span we managed to grow our event up to roughly 3,500 people and raise money for a scholarship fund for several years.

The images shown are various designed pieces i made to brand and promote the event. Several stage banners printed on speaker mesh, flyers, posters, T-shirts, Facebook ads, banners and much more. For 2015 I created a collaborative poster with my friend Jennifer Schwarzman and we took her painting and turned it into our festival poster for the year which is also shown below.

For the past few years I have been in charge of designing most of the signage and displays at the Boca Raton Children's Museum. That includes the room theme signs to support the role of the room and to mention each rooms financial sponsor. The two signs shown are from that particular project.

The signs were hung either above the door to the room or from the ceiling with a chain. The final signs were printed on vinyl and laminated and placed on a CNC cut piece of PVC with grommets in the top corners.

I started this project simply redesigning the companies menus and updating menu items and prices. It turned into more of an overhaul of the process of ordering and featured a center piece of their logo which was made into a three layered, wall mounted display. Once we finalized the menu items and prices we worked on readability and organized it to flow better and make it as easier to read and update as much as possible.

The final menus were mounted on brushed aluminum stand offs with one piece for custom orders to the right of the line and further broke down into two additional menus behind the counter.  The logo was redesign of the older logo which needed to be remade into vector format and touched up in order for us to create the display shown.

This trade show display was designed to fix the response their prior design was receiving at previous trade shows. We decided to simplify the design to minimal information and used symbols characteristic of cloud based support. The dotted line lead to other clouds which focused on areas of expertise by the company. The idea being at a trade show you only have a few short seconds to grab a persons attention. We used the design to support fundamentals of a world wide network and support the technological basis of the company. Once an individual showed interest there were brochures and information packets available to those who stopped by.

This cabinet box conceptual design was made for a customer trying to get something that would stick out but be done the same style as other signs in his location. They had to mounted on an extension arm as shown and I chose to make this an aluminum face with cut out letters and a white acrylic backer to shine through the face. The circle would be cut red and black vinyl.

This display wall was designed based off another wall display installed at the YMCA of Boynton Beach. This design was changed base off sizing, images and new layout. It shows wall vinyl with images mounted on clear acrylic with stainless steel stand-offs.

I won student graphic artist of the year for the Miami International Fashion Week Poster Design Contest. I entered the contest in my junior year of college and I was selected as the final winner a few months later. I was given access to the FTP server for MIFW and changed out images for more recent pictures and updated the final design to fit better for the 2010 event.

I was presented with a $500 cash prize and an engraved Tiffany & Co. glass plate award at MIFW. I was also featured in the press and interviewed as an award winner for the event. My Poster was used for promotional purposes and displayed in various locations at the week long event.

These first two prints are made from a hand carved piece of linoleum and rolled with ink and applied using an and rolling press. The  hot rod print was inspired by a friends car that I took a picture of and manipulated into the one color print shown from a photograph. The second print is a recreation of a print originally made by M.C. Escher. I created my own fish tessellation and remade the wave pattern shown to get a similar effect. The last piece was a woodblock/jigsaw print I made for the day of the dead and represent the duality of life.

This Series is a digital photo collage study I created during my digital photography class in college. All the pieces were created from my own original photographs with minimal manipulation. The focus was on layering to keep to the style of photographer Jerry Uelsmann. He primarily worked in film photography and managed to achieve some of the most breathtaking surreal photo collages with only his camera and a darkroom. This is my study using digital media but restricting myself to minimal forms of manipulation through Photoshop or any editing software. In other words I tried to limit editing to things that are possible in a dark room to keep the same style.

I made this drawing based on a graphic designer I became to admire and was interested in simply for the diverse and often strange nature of his work. He would often used found objects to express as his type and would somehow manage to find a way to make it work well. He has also designed famous pieces like the CD cover for the Rolling Stones, Bridges to Babylon.

This piece is a combination of multiple works he's created over the years. It's a play on his own personality and on mortality. He's an interesting character who smokes a lot of cigars and is very set in his ways and can often be all most self destructive. For instance he has a design very dramatic piece where he literally cut quotes into his body with a blade.

I took from his Lou Reed album design and I created a stencil from his face. On his face I put a number of his more famous quotes and it plays on the use of cigarettes for letters much like he commonly does with found items. I also used one of his designs which is a revolver made out of commas as a more antagonizing play on morality and his sense of humor. I think this piece managed to portray him well.

These posters were a study to visually define the subject matter at hand. It's always the goal in graphic design to simplify meaning and to enable a desired reaction through subconscious cues using visual rules and trial and error.

The first poster is going from a simple to a more complex shape to create meaning. I liked the definition I found online. "Design is a synthesis of information, need and color equaling something greater than the sum of its parts." The same goes for taking the definition and turning it into almost a math problem. I feel like these geometric shapes are trying to find place and meaning. I wanted it to show potential for movement and change.

The second poster is a visual definition of the word Evolve. and plays on perception of the word either progressing in a positive motion which is shown as upward and green or negative down and to the left and red. Its simply a matter of perception based on a positive or negative outlook on it. It gradually changes step by step from a simple to more complex form.  From a single line to a more complex object.

This work shows an example color fundamental studies I did while in school with various examples of different color combinations and uses. From hand cut color swatches to paintings.
