The Hyphen Newsletter ✩

During my time at my launch agency, I pitched the idea of a monthly newsletter, made by us, created for us.

I called it the Hyphen — an inside joke at the agency — and has since remained very well received even after I moved on to another agency some time after, a testament to its enduring popularity among the team.

As a Junior Art Director at the time, I juggled this side project in my personal time while also working several launches, garnering support from the creative heads at the time: Stephanie Shulman (Managing Director) and Kevin McShane (Chief Creative Officer), who saw my vision in the value in fostering camaraderie through shared struggles and triumphs.

VALORouS TALES ILLUSTRATION BOOK ✩

During my portfolio semester in design school and shortly after graduating, I assisted colleague Dashawn Mahone (Supervising Director, Storyboard Artist & Writer for Craig of the Creek, Jessica’s Big Little World & Craig Before the Creek and writer for 2016’s Ben 10) with a personal request to create an illustration book for his popular web comic series Valorous Tales, inclusive of some personal art he had been creating at the time.

This was my first published piece where I solely designed a layout format that felt closer to my personal design tastes, and worked completely from design into print production — it was a great experience as a designer at the time working with a publishing print house.
