I've been working with the very talented Japanese rock band, THE RICECOOKERS for a while now. Since their lyrics are so beautiful, I enjoyed working with their album covers and promotional pieces. In 2010 their song "Nami no Yukusaki" was the theme song for the Japanese hit TV show, "SPEC", and spread their name and fame in Japan.

Urbanbloom creates premium floral designs for events and seasonal installations. After assessing the competitors' brands and exploring a variety of options, I created original illustrations and a look and feel based on rustic floral imagery.

Shinkeiei Business Innovation Research Group

Promotional materials for a business conference in Tokyo.

The 35th anniversary Shinkeiei conference is all about innovation and forging the future for Japanese business. From IoT, biotechnology, AI and engineering to ancient technologies like traditional swordsmithing, the speakers will share their inspirations and challenges. Presenters include legendary architect Tadao Ando, MIT professor Hiroshi Ishii, and an impressive group of Japanese business leaders from a wide array of fields.

I was thrilled to have this opportunity to work with the passionate people at Shinkeiei. The theme of the sailing ship relates to the event venue, the Nihonmaru, a four-masted ship docked in Tokyo harbor, but it also embodies the world-changing power of transformational technology. 

I really enjoyed working with thomson reuters infographic graphic design project. The big challenge was minimizing a lot of information into a simple layout.

I created this for a Brooklyn public school in Gowanus, where the famous Kentile sign was recently demolished. I used that former icon of the brooklyn skyline to show an industrial but charming look that would appeal to both kids and parents. The school created Tshirts, water bottles and tote bags based on the design.
