Events
My introduction to the creative world came as a musician and audio engineer. Over the course of the last 10+ years I have traveled to play in over 20 countries and I use my real world experience gigging to organize events with national acts and local artists in and around Cleveland. Some of these events have been covered in NPR, Cleveland Scene Magazine and Cleveland Public News. I use my skills to build community and support similar artists in our creative field.
Merchandising
My experience in merchandise includes apparel graphics, layouts, screenprinting as well as garment dying. I have utilized plastisol based screenprinting, direct to garment, heat transfer and other printing methods to create solutions for artists at various levels of scale and customizability. I use these skills to help myself and other artists to monitize and build financial support for their creative work.
Packaging and Layouts
My experience in product packaging and layouts utilize cover art illustrations, collage work, iconography and typograpraphy coupled with analogue media formats to add to artist and brand storytelling. Packing includes Cassettes, CDs, VHS, 12” and 7” Vinyl Records and other formats. I use these tools to help myself and other artists reach larger audiences and generate support.
Video
Using filming, audio engineering and video editing, I have created several live videos of local Cleveland artists. These recordings help artists to gain exposure to their work.
