I currently work full-time at my church as Creative Director.
These are some of the sermon graphics that I’ve designed.
To Kill a Mockingbird Audiobook
Using elements from both the live-action movie and the book, I created what I imagined a CD audiobook set could look like. The dusty town of Maycomb, Alabama inspired the color-pallet; the illustrations on the CD albums are the items that Boo Radley puts in the tree for Jem and Scout; the CDs’ spines together create a mockingbird; and the back of the cover is one of my absolute favorite moments in both the movie and book, where Atticus sits, guarding the innocent Tom from a mob of white farmers.
The cover with Jem, Dill, and Scout, the three main children in the novel. "Performed by Sissy Spacek" was intentional as she reads the audiobook in real life. She does a fantastic job.
As mentioned above, my favorite scene. Atticus guards the jail with his chair, lamp, and book.
Each cover has a quote on it from that section of the book, based on where it might be if it were actually divided into CDs. I did actual math for this part, everyone.
One of the funniest lines in the book.

Ukulele Package Design
What can I say, I like package design. Despite never having worked in Adobe Dimensions before, I think it turned out pretty well. I actually went to a local music shop and got a ukulele box so that I could take it apart and figure out the layout of my design.

Lion of Judah
As a Christian, I’ve always loved the lion as iconography (any C.S. Lewis fans?). I did this design of a lion, taking inspiration from Disney’s The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe with Aslan’s soft eyes. Then, as a sort of mirror to his mane, I stylized one of the names of Jesus, “Lion of Judah.” The name is in reference to Jesus’s lineage as a descendent of one of the 12 tribes of Israel, “Judah.”

Start Livin’
An acquaintance asked for a logo for a non-profit about mental health and living life well. The general design idea was his and this was my favorite iteration.
Biff Bang Pow
A dear friend of mine and I had this idea to do a podcast where I, a comic nerd who also likes to do research, explain comics to him. This was the logo.

Within Reason
A design based on the senior paper I wrote in high school on whether or not animal have emotions. In the paper, I talked about the evidence for emotions in elephants, dogs, and orcas. Using those animals, plus one, I created designs with inspiration from cultures: India for the elephant, Northwest Coastal American-Indian tribes for the orca, Africa for the gorilla, and something I made up for the dog.

Music, They Call Me
Another of my favorite projects. Tasked this time with making a magazine catalogue, I focused on music, with a secondary focus on the community it can foster. The models are a friend, my brother, and sister-in-law. The songs featured in the magazine are as follows: “Something Beautiful” by Newsboys; an original; “Garden” by NEEDTOBREATHE; “All I Need” by Switchfoot; “King and Lionheart” by Of Monsters and Men; “Angel at my Door” by NEEDTOBREATHE; “Music, They Call Me” by The Gray Havens.
