Universal Remote
UNIVERSAL REMOTE May 2006 Lincoln, NE University of Nebraska-Lincoln I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from 2003-2006. This was my thesis exhibition. I had been investigating design as art and vice versa, so this exhibition was comprised of many of those sorts of objects. The back wall of each of two galleries was covered with […]
Beta Shampoo

Music Packaging
Music PackagingAfter designing posters for a few bands, I became involved with music packaging, as well. In fact, I’ve been involved with music packaging since I designed my own mixtape and cd packages, but it has been quite fulfilling to design for full-size gatefold LPs.However, it is kind of a weird time to be involved […]
Type Development
