Identity
925 Furniture

Packaging
Jump: Natural Flavored Lime Soda
Designing a package for a new lime soda, Jump comes as a glass bottle six-pack. The monochromatic scheme and lime halves help to strongly convey the drink's lime taste and natural flavor. Jump's angular logo gives the beverage a more dynamic, fresh appeal.

Art Nouveau Pattern Skateboard Deck
The linear, organic curves of the Art Nouveau movement were inspiration for the design of a skateboard deck. Instead of using specific imagery, a group of lines and shapes create natural forms and fluid lines. The warm brown and lush greens further conjure up a natural feel.

The Russian folk tale of Vasilissa and Baba Yaga was a choice for a short story animation project using Adobe Flash. The stylized rendering of the scenery and characters along with the ambient soundtrack helps set the stage for a simplified retelling of an ancient story.
Andy Warhol/Brian Eno Animated Quote
After choosing a quote by Andy Warhol to create a short animation for, the decision was made to use the song "Backwater" by Brian Eno to convey the unusual, trivial happenings that make people world renowned. The use of purely typographic imagery connects the lyrics with the narrative for a quirky by effective touch.
