Bobbi & The Strays

As I have mentioned before, my friend is very involved with a local shelter Bobbi & The Strays, and any time they need any sort of graphic design work, I'm happy to help in any way. One, its for a good cause and a friend. And two, its also nice to work on something that is separate from my job, and I don't take the initiative on my own. The next to pieces were for fund-raising purposes, and I stuck with a similar theme.

Brazil accounts

I have recently returned from a business trip to Brazil. Part of the work I had to do there was visit some of our top accounts and photograph the location. It was interesting getting a feel of what the atmosphere is in our accounts in Rio. Here are some photos:

Refreshing Invite

We've been working on a new campaign recently, and in order to receive some feedback, we hosted a research panel to present our work. I created this invite to send out, and the blue just feels like a refreshing drink of cold water. Because we almost always work with black and white photographs, sometimes I really miss the vibrancy of color and how it can just make something feel so alive. 

Starck Park

When Brazilian actress Tais Araujo and husband Toni Ramos visited New York City, we helped throw a party at Starck Park. For the invite I used a picture of Tais taken for Trace Magazine.

 

Goodbye

On Matt's last day at work, we were all really sad. But we threw a fun goodbye party. It is silly, but here is the very appropriate invite.

Halloween

A friend and coworker is very involved with a local shelter- and helps out with fundraisers all the time. They throw an annual Halloween ball and raise a ton of money. It was my pleasure to help create the invite.  I had a lot of fun working on this.

Baile Funkie Fofo

This summer in New York we started a new, hip, monthly party called Baile Funkie Fofo, named after the Baile Funkie's that take place in Rio's favelas. The party featured synchronized swimmers, so I went with that theme for the invite.

Fête de la Musique

 For Fête de la Musique in Paris, I created this poster with a vintage feel.

Shawl Photography

My good friend Johil makes these beautiful silk scarves. We got together one day to take some photos for her to use in her Etsy Shop. Thank you again Sabrina Young for modeling! If you think they are as beautiful as I think they are, you'll want to buy one for yourself!

Papurniture

I  met with a friend last night who told me about the new work he is doing- furniture made from 100% recycled paper. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but they have a beautiful and sleek design. I was pretty much blown away by it.
