Illustration

The New York Times - March Madness

A full-page illustration for the sports section to mark the beginning of the college basketball tournament. To capture the excitement and emotion of the event I made a hectic collage of mascots, fans, and players.

ESPN - Courting the King

ESPN invited 30 illustrators to create fake billboards convincing LeBron James to sign with their team. I was honored to represent the Celtics, and used the history of the franchise and championship legacy as the main selling point.

Sideline App Onboarding

I illustrated an onboarding tour for Sideline, an app allowing sports fans to compete in trivia contest for cash prizes during live sporting events.

Minus The Bear

I had the opportunity to make something for band merch, and came up with this geometric white tiger.

The Ringer

Some favorite illustrations I've done for the sports and pop culture site.

Robin

Robin builds software for connected workplace experiences. I illustrated an e-book on "hotdesking" and some other vignettes of the modern office.

Grantland Quarterly

A few of my illustrations for the former ESPN site made it into Grantland Quarterly, a printed book published with their best recent stories.

PlacePass

PlacePass helped people find and book tours and activities while traveling. These illustrations were used to highlight key features people are looking for while booking.

Sideline App

The Sideline app allowed sports fans to compete in trivia contests for cash prizes during live sporting events. I made a bunch of illustrations that were used to promote games, which included a lot of portraits of star players and teams.

Sonos

I made some posters as part of a research project with Sonos.

Bluvalt

I created a handful of illustrations and icons for a Middle Eastern web hosting company.

100 Day Project 2020

I posted a black and white illustration every day for the first 100 days of 2020.

100 Day Project 2019

I found a list of 100 endangered animals and posted an illustration of each over the first 100 days of 2019. I tried a few different styles to mix things up.

Thoughtbot Summer Event

Thoughtbot asked me to design this graphic for an event bringing all 6 offices together in Boston. I used landmarks from New York, San Francisco, London, Austin, and Raleigh converging on the city.

White Men Can't Jump

I made this poster for fun, the Saul Bass-style silhouette of the Reebok Pumps sneakers just felt like a nice summary of the movie. It was eventually published in a book about movie posters.
