Bumble and Bumble Website
Bumble and Bumble is a complicated brand, with substantial assets including illustration, print materials, video, over 30 years of photos of models and muses for celebrity stylists, and, of course, a fully stocked cabinet of hair products. The branding and design challenge was to bring all of this material online in a compelling and brand-centered way. The key turned out to be the design of the primary user interface, which I concepted, designed and prototyped. This unique web interface allows content, including video, to organically bubble up to the user, and lets the user interact with that content in a fun and engaging way.
Brand Apart Book
Joe Duffy is one of the most respected designers in the world. In his book, ‘Brand Apart,’ Duffy explores the elements that make a great brand. Like an interesting person, a pleasant memory, or your favorite shirt, it’s possible that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but that all of those parts matter. Harley Davidson, MINI Cooper, Paul Smith (spread pictured), Nike, Tazo Teas and many more are examined from a unique perspective.
High 48s Identity
The High 48s are a smoking hot bluegrass band. They’re named after the High 48 rail line, and I spent time researching railroad designs for typography and symbolism. When it came time to draw out comps, something else happened: curves and arches like a Gibson mandolin headstock, the musical ‘s’, and flourishes that reminded me of shavings in my grandfather’s wood shop.
Thymes Kimono Rose Packaging
Sumptuous packaging for the Thymes ‘Kimono Rose’ line of fragrances and soaps. This work is featured in the American Institute of Graphic Artists Design Archives. Brad Surcey was the primary designer and I worked at Duffy on the technical and 3D aspects of the package design.
Thymes Filigree Packaging
Thymes ‘Filigree’ is another award-winning line of packaging designed and produced at Duffy. This line was featured in Print Magazine and is also featured in the American Institute of Graphic Artists Design Archives. Esther Mun was the primary designer and I worked at Duffy handling the design customizations for individual packages, embossing, die cuts, and final art in Illustrator and InDesign.
Stereolab Tunebook for iTunes
There’s no lab like Stereolab, and it was a pleasure to do the Flash animation for this Anthology Tunebook. Tunebooks are interactive liner notes that play inside of a Quicktime shell. They are available with the purchase of an entire album on iTunes.
