I've been working as a graphic designer for the past ten years. Here is some of my stuff! Contact me at [email protected]

I was honored when the wonderful Marty DeRosa asked me to create the graphics for his rebranding of his amazing podcast, Wrestling With Depression, along with matching graphics for his other podcast, Wrestling Without Depression.  I loved working on these - I hope you dig ‘em!

This is a poster I created for a comedy show held at Andorka’s sandwich shop out in Pilsen!  The one note I received was “it should probably involve sandwiches”, so of course it was a blast to make. You can check the show out here: https://www.facebook.com/events/743733819090291/

This is a logo I created for the wonderful comedy show The Kates.  It was a pleasure to work with the show’s creator Kelsie Huff to develop a look and feel that really reflected the aesthetic of the show. You can check the show out here: http://www.thekates.org/

Here’s a logo and a graphic for a TV display that I created for the comedy show Adult Pizza Party.  It was so fun to make!  I love pizza! You can check the show out here: https://www.facebook.com/adultpizzaparty

Here’s the logo, and then the flier I created for a local comedy show.  As you can see, it’s real minimalistic.  Perhaps TOO minimalistic... Check the show out here! https://www.facebook.com/Boycott-this-Show-450911225103165/

I got bored with my lil avatar guy, so I made a new and improved version.

These are a few cocktail menus I whipped up for various parties at my old apartment, all featuring original cocktails I created over the course of about 3 years.  These were a really fun exploration in typography and layout, as well as a blast to hand out at a gathering where I was making drinks for the night.

The top piece here is a flier I created for the standup comedy showcase called Stand Up Stand Up that I’m part of producing.  The bottom is a flier for a specific show featuring the gloriously-bearded Derek Smith as our headliner for the evening.  Stand Up Stand Up is a free showcase every single Thursday that offers some of the best standup comedy that Chicago has to offer.  Come see us sometime! http://www.standupstandup.net/

To the left is a poster I created for a Halloween open mic in 2013, and then to the right is another poster for the same mic when it happened again this year.  It was a blast to be able to blow my old work out of the water with the newer piece!

Here are a bunch of posters I designed for the sketch/improv/variety show called Super Talent Show that takes place every month at Chicago’s iO theater.  The show is pure and absolute comedic chaos, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you should do yourself a favor and go see it.  Check the show out here: http://ioimprov.com/chicago/show/super-talent-show-3/2015-11-14/
