3 is the magic number for oomph

CHARM, GLAMOUR, VITALITY. 3 words made into a set of 3 candles. The packaging design was derived from their famous “rickrack” on their newport table[s]. The integrity of their table designs are inherently part of their brand look, and make for a great repeat patterns too! See them at the NYIGF (gift fair at Chelsea Piers this week)!

TEDMED 2011 portraits for Alexander Isley Inc.

admin — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 13:00:40 +0000

It has been a busy couple months! I’ve been traveling to Alexander Isley‘s studio in Connecticut, to work on the TED MED conference program. The TEDMED conference (TED) is where the world’s most creative minds meet healthcare’s most innovative science. Once a year, TEDMED brings together leaders in the fields of medicine, science, business and technology for three and a half days of groundbreaking insights and off-the-record conversations. This is where technology and medicine meet.

We designed 50+ unique portraits for each speaker. The design process was very experimental. I photographed black and white portraits on the tv/computer screen to get the moiré pattern effect. Typically this is something photographers try to avoid. But, it allowed each one to be a unique, and the effect added depth and texture to the flat black art. I then added color overlays behind the black and spotted them with white line art for more texture.

This year’s pick for the Lunar Calendar 2013, Published by Rizzoli Universe. One of my favorites–a glow-in-the dark calendar with the moon phases! Hard to believe I’ve been designing calendars, and the Lunar Calendar, since 2004!

Fruition Chocolate

admin — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:14:56 +0000

Since June, I’ve been working with a bean to bar chocolate company named “Fruition Chocolate”. Their chocolate is out-of-this-world, with cocoa beans (seed pods) from Costa Rica and Madagascar. The taste of the dark chocolate is often floral and earthy with long finish. The chocolate maker, Bryan Graham (CIA grad) beautifully handcrafts the chocolate in small batches. Needless to say, I’ve been inspired. Eating chocolate for design research–does it get any better than that!? They are located in the Catskill mountains, Route 28 in Shokan, NY. The results of the branding project include the chocolate mold design, chocolate bar packaging, window graphics, signage, business cards, stickers, and jar labels.

Robert Hite: new website

admin — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:25:15 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to work with Robert Hite on re-designing his website. Hite is an artist whose movement out of the South and through the world suggests the essence of “yesterday won’t be over until tomorrow and tomorrow began ten thousand years ago” -William Faulkner, Intruder in the Dust. Born in 1956 in rural Virginia, Hite is inspired both by a rich southern narrative tradition and a closeness to nature. Hite has photographed and made a study of rural houses and shacks in Central and South America, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and the southern United States. His paintings, sculptures, and photographs come filtered through a lens on the natural world, layered with gestures of human and ecological struggle, and with a sensitivity to what is beautiful, poetic, and harsh within this interaction. Check out his new website! Upcoming solo show In the Contemporary Gallery at The Nassau County Museum of Art, May 21, 2011 through September 4, 2011

Over the past year, I’ve been working with a company called oomph. They make fabulous tables, pillows and chairs. It has been so much fun designing for designers and building their brand. I’ve now completed their brand identity including logo, business cards, stickers, postcards, website, and a few small marketing pieces including an oomphtini recipe card! Everyone needs a little oomph in their life, and I agree! www.oomphonline.com

Julia Santos Solomon, An Artist’s Website

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 02:34:40 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to work with Julia Santos Solomon on re-designing her website. Her “Family Narrative Sculptures” and new paintings from “New Zealand” are absolutely stunning!! Julia is one of the most successful contemporary Dominican artists on the landscape today. Julia is a multi-faceted artist creating paintings, sculpture, drawings and mixed media. The bright colors of the Caribbean landscape are an important vehicle for her expression. She portrays the mystery and beauty of the vegetation. Julia’s work has been exhibited nationally and abroad.
