2017

DESCRIPTION

The Long Island Regional Seed Consortium‘s growing seed bank for endangered heirloom varieties needs a new home!  Using my creative wizardry I was proud to create in solidarity with their cause to bring about the importance of biodiversity, regional varieties, and seed saving!

I embarked on this collaborative creative journey to create the MOTHERSHIP- Protecting a Regional Seed Bank in March of 2017.  The video in total took about three months to complete because I was working on the farm part time as well.  The opening video and photographs were from the original filming of the LIRSC crew.  The photographs were taken both by myself and Emmy-Nominated Southold photographer Randee Daddona.  

Since we are all science fiction nerds the theme was a futuristic community of seed savers; the next step in the evolution of human consumption!  I created the MOTHERSHIP logo using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.  The animations and motion graphics were also created in illustrator and then later animated in Adobe After Effects.  Oh and if you didn’t notice or never heard my voice, I’m narrating the script which was composed by Cheryl Frey and Steph Gaylor of the LIRSC.  This has to be one of my favorite projects just from the fact that I got to work with so many other talented folks!

Not all of us are producers or farmers but we all eat and love food!  If you’re interested please consider backing this project. Your plate is depending on it!

The Long Island Regional Seed Consortium's growing seed bank for endangered heirloom varieties needs a new home!

Since starting in 2012, the Long Island Regional Seed Consortium has been working closely with breeders, farmers, chefs, gardeners and other organizations to spread the word about the importance of biodiversity, regional varieties, and seed saving. Through various projects like The Long Island Cheese Pumpkin Project, the annual seed swap, and the seed library initiative, we strive to bring the importance of a sustainable and local food culture to the forefront.

Inspired by the love for science fiction and the nerdy-ness of the LIRSC crew I created this trailer for their kickstarter the MOTHERSHIP - Protecting A Regional Seed Bank. The idea was to mimic science fiction/action film trailers that leave more questions than answers.

Seeds & Suds is a new Youtube series hosted by Steph Gaylor and Ken Ettlinger of the Long Island Regional Seed Consortium. Each episode is a quick look at some of the new breeding projects that are happening at the LIRSC seed plot all paired with a craft beer brew.

This opening title was for the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin which was saved by seed saver Ken Ettlinger.  In honor of this delicious and versatile heirloom, the Long Island Regional Seed Consortium teamed up with Blue Point Brewery to create the Long Island Cheese Pumpkin beer, making it the first locally grown pumpkin beer.

Bayard Cutting Arboretum CSA Farm

YEAR

2016

DESCRIPTION

During my time as an assistant farm manager at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum CSA Farm, I was approached to do a series of designs for certain retail products they planned to sell at their on-site farm stand.  All of the designs were hand drawn except the B Hive labels which were done in a vector style. Projects included a label for their local twist on the Herbs de Provence herb mix, egg carton, lip balm and candle labels, and a mock design for a CSA grocery tote bag.
