African American design with the title 'The Price of Them, poetry book'

The Price of Them, poetry book

From the author: A book of poetry that navigates the tangled vines of stereotypical identifications and the people who perpetuate them and the price we pay for them by examining their impact on our psyche. I took his description and came up with this! I love the lower case titles that contrast with the traditional font used for the body.

African American design with the title 'Maverick concept for a book cover proposal'

Maverick concept for a book cover proposal

I truly believe that Jesus fit into the culture of his day. He didn't stand OUT because of his wardrobe; he stood out because of his joyous, uplifting, charismatic nature. So for this cover, I didn't want to put Jesus in a robe, or the common artistic costume we are used to seeing him in. I wanted to show him in contemporary dress, someone you want to hang out with; but most of all, someone who reflects the love of his Father with every breath and action. THAT is what I wanted to show on this cover. A bit of edge, to be sure, but overall, a sense of joy and fun and peace. Something that makes you want to pick up the book.

Scott Family Reunion T-Shirt: Funk, Soul & Heritage

I designed a creative and unique family reunion t-shirt for the Scott family, an African-American musical family with a deep love for the 1960s/70s Funk, R&B, and Soul music era. The design strategy involved a rich fusion of these influences: a dynamic layout inspired by vintage album art and concert posters, combined with a subtle yet impactful pattern representing their African American heritage. This approach created a vibrant, celebratory garment that honored their musical passion and cultural roots in a truly distinctive way.
