Body of Work
New York Appleseed
Print design of a policy document for the New York branch of Appleseed, a non-profit public interest legal organization. The brief for this project included a very specific color palette and set of desired typefaces. Through the clean expanses of white space and use of some subtle peripheral abstraction, i was able to maintain the [...]
Concrete Legacy, 2009
A photographic journey through empty highways, bridges, and overpasses, this essay focuses on the visual forms that combine into the mundane elements of the urban landscape. In so doing, a solitary peacefulness and sometimes emptiness is found from the setting of our daily commute.

Counting Project, 2007-
My continuing exploration of the notions of commodity, quantity, and the passing of human existence through the process of counting. Images of 1-19838, 19839-37617 are from the 97th Annual of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA. Images of 1-22108 are from the University of Pittsburgh Studio Arts [...]
Untitled, 2007
This window space is reminiscent of a storefront window, a space which is normally vibrantly decorated with stylish fashion objects or other trendy commodities. In short, it is a space of consumption. However, my use of it replaces mannequins, brand names, dynamic graphic design and alluring color theory with a personal field of handmade marks. [...]
Pathways, 2007
‘Pathways’ is a series of ball point pen drawings that serve as aesthetic maps of my subjective and personal thoughts. These drawings act as a physical and gestural response to my own existence within the surrounding spatial and spiritual universe that encompasses everything that we know. A metaphysical framework composed of an interest in the [...]
Untitled, 2007
Untitled displays via video the unified, repetitious and cyclic nature of the universe through the disintegration of a group of apple-like vessels. The viewer is left isolated from the actual event in space and time and is instead confronted by an endless continuum of the destruction of forms. The adjacent chair, lamp and end table [...]
Student Exhibition Design
Contest winning works chosen to be used for the promotion of the University of Pittsburgh’s annual student exhibition at the Frick Fine Art Gallery. Photographs taken of art studio space floors, tables and walls were collaged together to form the visuals for these pieces. For more information about the Department of Studio Arts at Pitt, [...]
Unititled, 2006
Untitled is a tree built using screws, wire, sheet metal and found parts of other nearby trees. Through the crude conglomeration of natural fibers and metal that hold the tree together, a disjointed form stands amidst a natural expanse of forest.
The work illustrates the raw and childlike nature in which we alter the world around [...]
A Creative Paradox
A short art book concept created in the spring 2006. Text excerpts courtesy of John Holloway’s ‘Promise, Paradox and Opportunity’, a discussion of the intersection between the linear nature of the computer and the meandering immediacy of traditional art making.
A creative paradox
There is a paradox in the interface between the artist and the computer. It [...]
The World Slows Down, 2006
A short film exploring the passing of existence around an individual.
Shot entirely on a 3CCD MiniDV camcorder.
Goodnight, 2006
‘Goodnight’ is an animated film that explores the notion of interaction between form and color, emotion and the physical realm, art and the viewer. It is a visual progression working jointly with an original music composition to create a transitory passage of quiet and unassuming shapes that form an ambiguous environment.
Using manipulated abstract photographs, the [...]
Untitled, 2006
These digitally created images serve as expressions of introverted melancholic feelings in response to global civilization and human existence. Each of the images form their own quiet and ambivalent response to the vagueness of time, place and identity within the information age, as well as the globalized contemporary culture we live in.
Electronically generated, the large [...]
UPMC Print Design
Print work for annual reports and event advertising for the Department of Anesthesiology and the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research.
