With offices in Kansas City and Chicago, Liquid 9 is the leading music-driven production and post-production facility in the Midwest. Working with major music labels and advertising agencies, my projects included: billboards, album artwork, merchandise for artists such as Tech N9ne, The Used, and Michael Bublé, event branding, poster series, packaging, stationery systems, corporate press kits, and character designs.

Designed, edited, and published by students, Kiosk is a semi-annual, award-winning, art and literature magazine that has been in publication since 1989. In this edition of Kiosk, optical illusions and surreal imagery challenge the two-dimensional surface of the magazine, creating a cerebral experience with the finest art and literature produced by students of the University of Kansas.

Advocacy poster for Banned Book Week. Each year, Banned Book Week challenges rampant book censorship in democratic arenas, such as public libraries and public schools. The American Library Association staunchly believes that it is unconstitutional to restrict the expression of a person, simply because the ideas are unconventional or unpopular. The design thus incorporates a page from George Orwell’s 1984—appropriating themes of oppression and censorship to buttress the meaning of the poster.

A 70-page graphic novel in both French and English, Sugar & Vice traces the adventure of Cubby—a young gummy bear who is oppressed by the evil King Cookie—and explores an unprecedented methodology to teach foreign languages. Rather than formatting the French text on one page and the English text on the opposing page, the story is formatted one-to-one on a single page and codifies each language in its own color. Using both illustrations and adjacent lines of translation as a resource, novice readers can bolster their comprehension of a foreign language.
