I designed this programming guide for music publishers Boosey & Hawkes to showcase their roster of music for venues looking forward to their 2026 schedules. B&H wanted an exuberant celebration of America and their composers presented with a fresh, modern look. Using a limited palette of red, white, and blue (naturally), I combined images of composers and recognizable American monuments and moments with a graphic vocabulary of stripes, stars, and other shapes. The whole booklet has the sensibility of a maximalist collage, where different elements come together in a free-wheeling yet coherent amalgamation, much like America itself.

I designed a book for IFF on trends they see making an impact on how we live in the future. Their design system employs a language of dynamic shapes and and an exciting color palette. Here are some interior spreads—chapter openers and trend pages—from the book.

I created this booklet for Ned Rorem’s publishers Boosey & Hawkes for his upcoming centenary. They were keen to highlight the beautiful photos of Rorem’s long and storied career in classical music. In the end, we opted for a straightforward layout with a sophisticated color palette to allow those photos to have their due.

The Journal was redesigned in 2020. The updated version is clean and modern, making for a streamlined and more efficient design process.

I designed a booklet for music publishers Boosey and Hawkes for the Centennial of one of their composers, Carlisle Floyd. The design takes advantage of the dramatic photos of Floyd’s opera productions.

For the Summer Music Series, the brief was for assets that communicated the joy of music, the excitement of summer—a bright and happy feeling throughout. I designed a poster using a set of icons that could be broken up and reconfigured for different formats. Some of the icons speak to the different age groups and programs (babies, high school singers, a ukulele), and can be used to highlight those specific programs when utilized on their own in social media posts. The singing sun, the hero icon, was used when communicating about the whole program.

Boosey and Hawkes asked me to design some promotional materials around the 100th birthday of opera and choral composer Dominick Argento. Over the course of his career, Argento was known for the range of his work, eclectic in their influence and setting, often drawing inspiration from literature and history. To illustrate that eclecticism, I used a mosaic design with photos drawn from his operas as well as art history and historical prints. Since these materials would be seen by an audience already very familiar with Argento’s works, I wanted to present them in a fresh and exciting design.

I designed a set of assets to advertise a performance of Handel’s Messiah at the First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York. For the title, I wanted to use a display font that was influenced by the 18th century, paired with an 18th century British painting (the musical director requested a shepherd scene) large enough to print at size, which also met my last requirement: drama!
Designed assets included a print 30”40” poster, as well as a print ad, and digital assets for social media.

These are promotional printed pieces for the Tianjin Juilliard School, located in Tianjin China. Four cards highlight a different Graduate Studies program each, while the blue card advertises the faculty members. I made use of Juilliard extended brand palette to make each card distinct, while the geometric design ties them together.

I designed this printed booklet for the Graduate Studies program at Tianjin Juilliard. The book is a large size, hopefully making it stand out from other schools’ promotional materials. That large size, and a light design touch, allow the beautiful photography to take center stage.

I designed some murals for a client’s tasting event. The goal was to enliven a very corporate, institutional space using images of delicious food and tasty beverages. The murals were printed on vinyl and applied to walls approximately 6.5” high, and various widths, for an event at IFF’s Dubai office highlighting the company’s work on innovative food products.

In 2020 and early 2021, I created identities for two separate STEM-related projects for the Girl Scouts. They were for slightly different age groups, but had to align under the Girl Scouts brand, and had to be developed across different applications: into themes for print pieces and powerpoint presentations, as well as shareable social media cards.

The Juilliard Journal serves as both newspaper and alumni publication for the Juilliard community. The older incarnation of the Journal had a large physical format (11”x12.5”), which made it a great place to take some chances and make some bold design moves.

A set of data visualization pieces created for the Girl Scouts' campaign to bring attention to girls' goals for the future and the current realities of women in business, government, and finances.

I redesigned this recipe book for International Flavors & Fragrances to conform with their new brand guidelines. The old book was very cute, but looked a little dated: pastel colors and swoopy, cutesy fonts. The new guidelines called for a more modern, sophisticated approach.

The badge booklets familiarize Girl Scouts with the basics they need to earn a particular badge. Since this booklet is aimed at girls in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, the design had to be friendly, young, and fun, utilizing pattern, illustration, and photos to make the information as engaging as possible.
