On the morning of Saturday, January 28, 2012, the Boyden Library in Foxborough, MA broke ground. Designed by LLB Architects, the project includes a new addition and renovation of a 1960s brutalist building by Kilman Hopkins Greeley and Brodie. Collateral for the groundbreaking ceremony included an invitation mailer and program featuring a monotone rendering in the town's navy blue color. The typeface Helvetica was chosen to compliment the existing midcentury building and serif font Georgia was also used for its similar proportions. A reccuring motif in a simple broken line hints at the groundbreaking event. During construction, a job sign will be posted at the site, and the layout of information takes it cue from the vertical windows hanging from the clerestory of the existing building.Architecture, Graphic Design, Print Design2012 -
Eva Zeisel Originals is an online retail store established in 2006 offering high-end quality furniture and collectibles designed by world famous industrial designer Eva Zeisel. Working closely with Eva's grandson and company founder, Adam Bass Zeisel, the brand identity was designed to reflect the essence of Eva's work, graceful, fluid, and rooted in a human touch. Her method of working involved a very hands-on approach and so a delicate hand became the symbol of the company. The items on Eva Zeisel Originals reflect some of her latest creative ideas. For production on a mass scale, the furniture and collectibles were precisely drawn and recreated based on original, hand-carved pieces. A pamphlet was also designed for marketing, trade shows, and retailers.Branding, Editorial Design, Furniture Design2012 -

Common Boston is a volunteer organization dedicated to expanding public awareness of the built environment in and around Boston. The idea of the Common Boston 2010 brochure is a balance of rigor and playfulness. Pertinent information for events and maps are set with a tight typographic hierarchy utilizing the DIN font family to compliment the logotype. A friendly and playful font, Sketchetik, is utilized as the display face throughout the brochure for neighborhoods and page titles. Sketchy lines add a bold but balanced graphic element to each spread and complement the lines of the logo and the contours of the display font.Architecture, Editorial Design, Print Design2010/06 -

The Cadets is one of the most honored drum corps in history and it needed to recreate its brand to be more in line with the current image of the corps. Since the corps’ formation 75 years ago, there is only one image that has stayed consistent - its uniform. The maroon and gold West Point style uniforms are immediately recognizable like no other in the drum corps activity. The main element of the logo is an abstraction of a piece of uniform – the embroidery on the sleeves. Because of their repetition and orientation, the arrows connote the idea of dynamism, innovation, and forward thinking. Their boldness portrays power. A partial outline around the arrows represents the idea of being on the edge and pushing the boundaries, and assists the arrows in appearing more dynamic. It is also the letter C, for Cadets.Graphic Design, Branding2009/11 -

The project describes a strategy which revitalizes the city through building in existing urban fabric. By finding the underutilized volumes in the dense city, and building in unused development rights, a building can exist in harmony with its surroundings without disruption. The proposal becomes a new kind of building, one that exists adjacent to and hovering over existing buildings, like a tight-fitting, three-dimensional puzzle. The aesthetics of the building represent this change in relation to context. It is a symbol of the virtual man-made lines of the city, plot lines and building height restrictions.Architecture2008/05 -
