Council for a Livable World

Pro bono Annual Report for the Council for a Livable World, advocates for a sensible nuclear program in the United States.

"For more than 50 years, the Council for a Livable World has been advocating for a more principled approach to U.S. national security and foreign policy. Our mission is to increase peace and security and to reduce the threat of war and nuclear weapons by representing our members in Washington and electing congressional candidates who support our goals."

MBTA PSAs

Our team created these eye-catchingly adorable public service announcements for the MBTA in partnership with GIPHY. While there may not have been a reduction in manspreading, there were definitely more smiling faces in the subway.

65 Roses

Blown ink roses created for a CFF benefit. 

"The '65 Roses' story dates back to 1965 when an observant 4-year-old, hearing the name of his disease for the first time, pronounced cystic fibrosis as '65 Roses.' Today, '65 Roses' is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease."

Wedding Invitation

Custom typography for a wedding invitation. 

Moore Pushpin redesign

The Moore Push-Pin Company invented the push-pin in 1900. Since push-pin technology hasn’t changed dramatically, I wanted to keep their retro look, but modernize the color scheme and functionality of the packaging.

Typography

Paint & Peel

I was asked to create a line of paint for a niche audience (twenty-somethings who rent and aren’t allowed to paint their walls) and bring the product to market. I developed a product called Paint & Peel, a removable wall paint that users could easily remove when their rental agreement expires.

The weather gets a little crazy in Blacksburg. My friends like to complain about it on social media.

Bukowski Cover

A laser-cut redesign of a book of poems by Charles Bukowski.

The Old Astronomer

Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.

Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.

But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,
What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles!

You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

–Sarah Williams

Zen

“Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.”
– Alan Watts
