creative direction, PHOTOGRAPHY & design
Music | Design & Photography
It all started with music. My whole venture with Design and Art Direction started with music. I wanted to design band logos, tour merch, album packaging, tour graphics the lot. From time to time I am able to flex my photography muscles and at the beginning got to design some cool stuff for a few artist.
Dustin Kensrue — Thoughts that float on a different blood
Over 2 nights Dustin recorded his latest live release. In collaboration, we decided to keep it loose with a bit of a blue note vibe. I shot both nights, but captured this cover shot backstage after the first show. Cover Design by Pat Brumfield. Check it out!

The Dispatch EP
Working with the in-house Art Department that was once Mars Hill Music, I designed this album art for the Dispatch’s EP debut.

Padrigato — Smoke Singnals
Teaming up with Rick, a graphic designer and one half of Padrigato, I had a rad time shooting the cover for this EP along with a few publicity shots around my 'hood.
