2011
I LOVE MUSEUMS, TRAVEL, WORN OUT BOOKS, COLD COFFEE,
POWERMIXES, EXCEPTIONAL CARS, HOLLYWOOD REGENCY, GOOD
SHOES, AND OBSERVING, CLASSIFYING, AND IMPROVING. I LEARNED
TO DRIVE A MANUAL AT EIGHT, BUILT A WEBSITE ON CATAWBA TREES
AT TEN, FOUND MY FIRST LOVE, LAKE TAHOE, AT FOURTEEN, AND
PRECIPITOUSLY REALIZED I WAS NAMED FOR AN ALLMAN BROTHERS
SONG AROUND THE AGE OF SIXTEEN. AFTER A BRIEF STINT AS A
PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR AT SEVENTEEN, I MOVED FROM A HORSE FARM TO A
METROPOLIS OF FIVE AND A HALF MILLION AND HAVE SINCE RELIED ON
THE BANK OF AMERICA BUILDING IF EVER UNSURE OF HOW TO GET HOME.
Georgia TechPRINT DESIGN | CONTENT | PHOTOGRAPHY | FINE ART
Georgia Institute of Technology’s nationally ranked School of
Civil and Environmental Engineering is the third largest civil
engineering school in the United States with a design office
of one. What began as a fledgling internship in graphic de-
sign has bloomed into full renovation of the school’s branding
identity and supporting documents, as well as pioneering the
school’s widely distributed annual report, social media cam-
paign, graduate recruitment program, and more.

South Luangwa National ParkWEBSITE | PHOTOGRAPHY | CONTENT
Frequently spoken of by experts as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuar-
ies in the world, South Luangwa National Park is Zambia’s number one
wildlife destination. Upon visiting the park, I soon learned that though the
reserve was home to sixty species of animals and over four hundred
bird species, it offered no photos or web presence to host its rare and
wonderful wildlife. My job since has been to capture the park’s incredible
fauna through a camera lens and share these animals through designing,
developing, and curating a park website.
AnglicotechLOGO & BRANDING | WEBSITE | PRINT DESIGN
When I met Dave Cooper, a former US Marine Corps
Infantry Officer, he was beginning to build a defense system
technologies company from the ground up. Dave wanted
to provide a professional brand message that appealed to
potential clients while piquing the interest of potential hires,
too. Together we developed Anglictoech’s full brand identity,
website, and supporting print materials that have since
attracted both Dave’s workforce of top-notch engineers
and multiple multi-million dollar government contracts as
Anglicotech grows beyond its startup roots and into a true
industry leader.
The Campus StylePHOTOGRAPHY | CONTENT
The Campus Style delivers crème de la crème of campus
fashion, music, entertainment, and all things fresh to over two
dozen college chapters. Founded at my alma mater, Geor-
gia Tech, I’ve been a contributing writer and photographer
for the site since its infancy. After many phases and experi-
mentations, The Campus Style has evolved into a blogging
network with a large, youthful audience, and contintues to
serve as a place for a select group of like-minded students
to share their favorite finds with both their own campuses
and other collegiate chapters.
St. Mark’s Nursery SchoolWEBSITE | LOGO & BRANDING
Nursery school in New Canaan, Connecticut is competitive business.
With many options in the area, a successful web presence is
essential to meeting enrollment goals, especially for St. Mark’s
Nursery School (SMNS), a growing pre-school that needed a
professional website just weeks before school registration started.
Meeting the deadline, we developed SMNS’s site with internal
interaction in mind - parents can easily add and share secure
contact information, and staff can regularly update news, events,
and calendars with photos, videos, and newsletters through the
site’s intuitive content management software. The nursery received
a fresh logo, as well, updated to reflect the school’s new growth
and leadership.
Di Luzio, IncWEBSITE | LOGO & BRANDING
Meaning “of light” in Italian, the Di Luzio Family has founded a
namesake electrical contracting company in Pacifica, California -
well-reviewed and expanding throughout the Bay area and beyond.
Di Luzio, Inc was unhappy with a former web developer who
left their site with broken Flash galleries and unfinished business,
and found an atypical solution in cross-country design. Together,
we’ve created new logos and a fresh website that reflects the
well-established, friendly vision of the company.
CHAMPLOGO & BRANDING | PRESENTATIONS
The physical damage and human casualties resulting from the
January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti illustrate the devastating
impact of natural hazards on communities that are not adequately
prepared. The Caribbean is a region with an unusually high
exposure to both earthquakes and hurricanes, and Georgia
Institute of Technology’s Caribbean Hazard Assessment Mitigation
and Preparedness (CHAMP) project was formed to minimize the
impact of these events. A multi-disciplinary project bridging several
schools within the Institute, CHAMP required ground-up branding
and presentation materials.
marries the common coffee table and ambience lighting, incorporating the average
table lamp into furniture itself. Wick’s table-top pattern is inspired by the Voronoi Diagram, a
pattern that shows up in dragonfly wings and giraffe fur, and it can also be used to represent
disease outbreaks, forest fires, and the atomic charges of molecules.
Wick
VA Bene The average coffee maker involves more
than thirty steps and daily disposal of paper filters. Starbucks
alone is responsible for the use of more than 2 billion paper cups
and plastic tops, annually. VA Bene Portable Coffee Maker solves
these issues through simplifying a ritual that has remained largely
unchanged for decades. Coffee grounds are stored in the lid, and
water is warmed by the smart phone programmable base, which
heats liquid through magnetic induction. As the warmed water
flows through the grounds only as you tilt to drink, you receive the
freshest coffee possible.
Elise
The Elise Lamp is a ready to assemble, zero waste packaging
product. Contained at the point of purchase within a paint can,
which doubles as the lamp’s base, the light twists into the paint
can top, then aluminum petals can be placed around the light,
creating various levels of shading to suit your specific ambient
environment.
Hermes
Hermes is a product that allows fluidity between college studio and
a graduate’s first steps into the the realm of professional work - the
desk is expandable, portable, and maintains an air of professional
styling in its handicap accessible, lightweight bent plywood design.
In designing Hermes, a group effort, we addressed the primary
needs of several studio functions: materials storage, electronics
and tool power, adequate lighting, sketching, light table, and
modeling surfaces, and suitable space for engaging critique and
formal presentation.
