I was asked to work on the design for 15 Rose Ave, a traveller’s house in Venice, CA. Here’s what I came up with.
I really wanted to get the whole thing to be one smooth, organic piece, while joining the ‘5’ and the ‘R’ together. I feel like it all kind of moves in a wave, much of what we’re all about here at the 15 Rose, and was able to keep a vintage feel, without being too old fashioned.
Finished up designing and building 15rose.com, the official site of a small family-owned hostel/hotel in Venice, CA. I designed the logo as well the entire site layout, and used creative commons pictures from flickr for the background collage.
I’m currently working on a level for Little Big Planet centered around HeadShot Energy Shot. You grab a bottle and fly through the air, it’s fun stuff but still needs just a few more tweaks to fix the obvious problems. I’m going to try to update some of the pictures too, but it should be done soon, I’ll let you know when to look for it.
version 1 is completed, now to open the level and see if it works for the public.
You can play it too, search in the community for “HeadShot Mega Energy” and let me know what you think.
I was responsible for the booth entertainment this year, and so I DJ’ed the booth all three days and kept the vibe cool, collected and welcoming. We had one other booth complain about the noise, and several booths compliment on it, someone even asked for a CD, which was pretty cool.
Didn’t get a chance to save any sets, but with each day being 6 hours long, it seemed like it might be overkill.
I made this flyer for a Lady Jo show in New York. Sketched the title and characters and scanned them into photoshop.
During my time at Tipp-C as a photography/design intern, I was able to use a lot of my photography in the magazine, the few of us interns that worked their(Eric & Adam deserve a shout) would design the entire magazine in the weekend before going to press.
Tipp-C was an interesting experience, but it was always humbling to see my photos on the cover of a campus wide paper.

Our project, onCurrent.com, just had it’s own launch party. We set up everything, got a stage, bands, power, sponsors, made shirts, painted a van with chalkboard paint, and guerilla marketed all over campus with a couple buckets of sidewalk chalk. A great turn out considering we didn’t know who would show.

Jordan, Eric, and I have been hard at work on the onCurrent shirts for the upcoming launch party. We made the screen in our basement dark room and turned a table we found at salvage into a makeshift printing press. We’ve been using second hand shirts from goodwill to give each shirt it’s own character, and so we also printed each a little different to give it that extra sense of individuality.
While we were at it we tried making screens out of a few other designs, screen printing for yourself can be both fun and rewarding!

I picked up a photography internship at Tipp-C magazine in West Lafayette. One of my first assignments was to shoot the 311 concert at Elliot Hall of Music. It was my first time to get an official press pass. 😀
