Why the Archive Exists

This archive is a curated look at earlier work spanning print, events, UX, and branding. These projects represent where I came from: long days on press checks, hand-built mockups, logo lockups, wireframes built in Illustrator, and the kind of scrappy, all-in design work that shaped my creative foundation.

But let’s be honest the best design portfolios reflect where you are now. In the past decade, I’ve stepped fully into UI/UX, product systems, and creative leadership. I’ve grown as a thinker, a builder, and a collaborator. So while this work isn’t front and center, it still matters it tells the story of my evolution. These projects taught me everything from kerning discipline to how to pitch to a room without sweating through my shirt.

Think of this section as the roots under the surface. Not always visible, but absolutely essential. These projects helped get me there but they don’t define me anymore.
We’ve all got those projects from years ago that were cool at the time. These are mine. Let’s never speak of them again... unless you’re hiring. I mean, I’m proud of this stuff but you might catch me whispering, “we don’t talk about designs we did pre-components.”

PRINT SHOP: Where I cut my teeth (and sometimes my thumbs) on press sheets, packaging, and preflighting. From key art to collateral, this is the work that taught me how to design with precision and sweat the details.

PAST PRODUCTIONS: The events, activations, and builds that took design into the real world. From signage and stage moments to full brand environments, this is where I helped shape experiences that people could actually walk through.

OLD SCHOOL UX: Before components, before dark mode, just wireframes, flows, and a lot of late-night pixel pushing. This section shows my early days of digital thinking and product structure.
