A couple months ago I worked with a team of strategists and creatives from firms such as Code and Theory and Cake New York to design a solution to the No Right Brain Left Behind challenge.  The challenge brief asked the creative profession to design concepts that will address the creativity crisis in US Schools [...]

This is a design that was submitted to the Not Just a Container contest for the new Dekalb Market in downtown Brooklyn.  Called ‘Meatspace’, it is a restaurant concept I designed around modern meatball sub sandwiches.  I adapted the concept to fit the shipping container requirements of the Dekalb Market contest.  It would contain a [...]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I am a huge fan of Twitter.  Not only is it a great way to connect with a vast array of interesting people but it also serves as a powerful source of inspiration for me.  It’s limiting structure of 140 characters per tweet and unique informational symbology have combined to create [...]

This is what I worked on in between trick-or-treat knocks at our door.  I do not want to think about how long this pumpkin carving project took me but…. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.  A new rendition of Andy Warhol’s ‘Self Portrait (Fright Wig)’, 1986 (on the left) executed in back [...]

I was surprised to find out today that a menu I designed has been accepted into the New York Public Library’s Menu Collection archive.  I was also surprised to find out that the New York Public Library has a Menu Collection in the first place.  In retrospect it does seem obvious that the NYPL would.  But [...]

I am happy to introduce some new design work…
The ‘Consumption’ Porcelain Dinnerware Collection
We are conditioned by our culture to take for granted what we consume.  In a consumerist society it is considered healthy.  We are just ‘doing our part’ and ‘contributing to society’ by consuming.  The new ‘Consumption’ collection, however, sheds a different light on our habits.  [...]

My creativity was weened on years of Star Wars obsession.  How can you be a kid in the 80’s and not love Chewbacca??  I also think Hello Kitty could be the cutest thing on the planet.  I couldn’t resist exploring this convergence of science fiction and cuteness.
