The Crypto Research and Design Lab is an initiative by the World Economic Forum and later the Crypto Council for Inoovation. Its mission is to place human and community needs at the heart of crypto development (as opposed to the technology itself).
A simple logo grounds the long name of the lab while a generative type tool, designed in collaboration with Edgardo Aviles, helps communicate the decoding, remaking, and disrupting nature of the lab's research.
Completed while Design Lead of the lab.

Identity Design and Generative Type Tool
2020
Stochastic identity for the School of Design and Creative Technologies that uses a custom program to randomize multiple layers of Muir-McNeil's TwoType system.
Completed in collaboration with Kelcey Gray and James Walker.
The Master of Arts: Design in Health is a first-of-its kind program that focuses on addressing the complexities, inequities, and pitfalls of the American healthcare system with human-centered research and design methods.
The program is a collaboration between two departments within two colleges. The long institutional name required a simple solution to promote the new program. The logo uses a symbol to communicate the colloquial name of the program, "Design In Health". A circular bitmap motif was created using the arrow shape from the logo. The circle represents the holistic approach of the program, and their overlap, the collaboration between disciplines/institutions.
Completed in collaboration with designer, James Blue.
Ongoing print and web design for generative artist, Tyler Hobbs.
On screen titles for "A Sidewalk Story," a documentary about a sidewalk sale in Greenpoint, Brooklyn that raised over $100,000 for social justice organizations. Directed by Andrew Price in 2020.
Redesigned website for Page Southerland Page to position the company as holistic design practice. The website focused on high-quality case-stories that integrated architecture, interiors, engineering, planning, and graphics services. Additionally, a people-centered art-direction was established to help Page appear more as a "studio," and less as a "firm."
Completed in collaboration with the agency formerly known as Handsome.
The Holdsworth Center is committed to keeping K-12 public education alive in Texas. A new identity and taglined informed campus signage and wayfindng design in collaboration with architects, Lake|Flato.
Completed while the brand design lead at Page alongside Erin West, Ray Delgadillo, and Carla Fraser.
Designed in collaboration with the Design Institute for Health, we designed a first-of-its-kind healthcare journey that eliminated waiting rooms and allowed patients to go straight to their "Care Room."
The wayfinding journey was both self-directed and a prototype. The wayfinding system used a Floor-Hall-Room information architecture and was designed with materials that could appear directive and permanent, but also be easily replaced if the experience needed overhauled.
Completed as the design lead at Page in collaboration with Patrick Drake, Roy Watson, and Lon Calvert.
Screen-printed graphics on clear vinyl with screen-printed paper insert.
KUT 90.5 is a beloved Austin Public Radio station that used to play music and news. In 2013, KUTX was formed to create a distinct home for music, 98.9. To emphasize the station's eclectic range of music old and new, the identity uses Cooper Black—a font synonymous with music throughout the ages.
Completed while the brand design lead at Dyal and Partners alongside Herman Dyal and Carla Fraser.
A unifying symbol, logotype, and lockup architecture for one of the nation's top public universities. The 18 leaves of the laurel represent the University's 18 colleges. Grilli Type's GT Sectra, with its calligraphic, broad-nib qualities, was chosen as a nod to the typography of the Gutenberg Bible—of which 1 of 48 known in existence are housed at UT.
Presented at Brand New's First Round, and featured on Fonts In Use, Brand New, and Grilli Type.
Completed while the brand design lead at Dyal and Partners alongside Maggie Griffiths, Herman Dyal, and Carla Fraser.
