visual storytelling
big lots
toy catalog
Toys, tinsel, and a whole lot of planning. I led art direction on this Big Lots holiday toy catalog, from concept to shoot to final layout—staging scenes, working with models, and building a playful, easy-to-shop design that matched the season’s energy.
smart fulfillment
storyboard
This storyboard was developed for a motion graphics animation promoting Smart Fulfillment, a feature within an OCLC product. It was meant to explain the capabilities of this feature, and I designed the entire visual system—from modular character builds to environment styling—ensuring it was flexible, brand-aligned, and animation-ready.
1Q84
book redesign
Murakami’s 1Q84 is weird, layered, and a little haunting—so I leaned into that. This redesign plays with contrast, mirrored elements, and aggressive type to capture the book’s sense of split realities and quiet chaos. It’s bold by design, just like the story.
transformations
magazine layout
This issue of Transformations brings real stories from the world of healthcare—through alumni reflections, community voices, and expert insights. I art directed the main cover shoot and led layout design across the publication, helping present each story with clarity and care.
