Not every icon, sketch, poster, or PowerPoint template makes it into the portfolio, but I’m always creating—both professionally and at a proudly high amateur level. This is a record of the ongoing trail of graphic design I leave behind on my way to (hopefully) making something better.
Unused Identity for O+E
I designed this mark for an upcoming Onyx+East project that, while selected, was ultimately shelved when the city rejected the name. The development moved forward under a new brand—one I was equally excited to create.
Temporary Signage for New Nickel Row Development
This piece is a favorite of mine, even though it doesn’t fit neatly into a larger project. After creating the identity for Nickel Row, we were asked to design signage to promote the upcoming development. Alongside the expected deliverables, we designed this boxcar-inspired sign—an eye-catching nod to the Nickel Plate Railway that gave the development its name.
Daylight Savings Political Poster
Wake up! It’s time to end daylight savings time changes.
Damn Dirty Apes

Bluemind Coffee Packaging
One of my favorite coffee shops in Indianapolis asked me to design their coffee bags, requesting tree illustrations along the sides with a primarily white layout. I also developed a customizable label system that allowed them to update bean-specific details and print in-house.

Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you.

Hoosier Boy Rebrand
I recently wrapped a rebrand for local growers Schlegel Greenhouse/Hoosier Boy (their retail-facing brand). Tasked with "cleaning up" the original logo that was created in the 30s for a local group of farmers, I had to really be careful not to stray too far from the source.
Engledow Group 90th Campaign
Ever go to a 90-year-old’s birthday party? They’re usually pretty tame. But not so with these dudes. We had a blast helping Engledow Group celebrate 90 growing seasons.
Lizard Person Political Poster
As we all know, the primitive ape species that would someday evolve to enjoy recording redundant dance videos of themselves and spend large amounts of capital on designer coffee drinks, were young when a similar race of reptile humanoids had lived and built empires for Millenium…
