DESIGN WORK & TYPOGRAPHY

Unofficial Cover Redesign

Redesigning Oto Toda's To Strip The Flesh (遠田おと短編集 にくをはぐ) manga cover title.
This re-conception is based on the original Japanese anthology cover depicting visceral queer and trans stories, rather than the official English-translated "softened" version. This was then printed for personal use as a slip cover.

Local Branding and Design

Graphic designs, logo, and branding for Halifax Asian rock band, Dim Sum Fund.
Cleaned their old logo design (with the original artist's permission), and went through several client passes until we settled on a solid branding identity and produced first edition merch.

Typographic Logo Designs

Finished designs ranging from comic titles to indie game concepts, to a successful international Kickstarter anthology, and more. These typographic logo designs strike the perfect balance of readability and aesthetic.

Production Design

Assorted merchandise designing, including the use and understanding of Pantone colours, Hex codes, CMYK printing, and related production documents. Simplified non-text based, or limited text based artwork is also within my wheelhouse of expertise.
