Esquire Magazine has a tradition of featuring inventive cover design (where did George Lois find a soup can big enough to hold Warhol?) In 2011, invited by an editor at Esquire to submit a cover proposal or two, I jumped at the chance and came up with a few ideas. I started with the question […]

I am very inspired and appreciative of the work that the Occupy Sandy movement is doing in bringing relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. I love the ‘if you have an idea just do it’ ethos. It’s certainly messy. But it is happening. And it is making a difference. In that spirit I designed […]

The Rolling Stones ‘Sticky Fingers’ album cover by Andy Warhol is a genius piece of art. Straight forward yet clever, engaging, provocative, tactile… never mind that the zipper can scratch the heck out of the vinyl. I was messing around with some photography of my own recently and it struck me that a phone in […]

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.

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 […]

Earlier this year I was included in the National Trust for Historic Preservation‘s ‘Modern Views‘ exhibition to benefit the restoration of Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House. My submission can be seen here(pg. 26). This week the organizers of an affiliated project called Glass House Conversations asked me to host […]

If you are a westerner with a pulse you have most probably been in a Starbucks. With its over 11,000 stores in the US alone, Starbucks has grown to become the assumed go-to location when someone says, “let’s get a coffee”. In fact, they might even say ‘I want a Starbucks”. Very few brands can […]

On May 25th the New York Times reported that chef Jonathan Benno’s new restaurant being built at Lincoln Center for the Patina Restaurant Group did not yet have a name. The next morning I sent a letter to Nick Valenti, head of Patina with a suggestion for a name I thought would be fitting for the […]

I know it’s kinda silly but I couldn’t resist submitting an entry for the Chiquita Banana Sticker Contest. Judging by the entries that are already posted I am not even sure if this is a real contest. But the only issue for me is that the submission requirements are slightly limiting. The Chiquita website allows […]
