We were asked by furniture designer and woodworker George Brin to create the first iteration of his website featuring his collections of custom modern furniture designs that were created for his clients. He wanted a simple modern aesthetic to be the backdrop of beautifully photographed images of his designs.

The website primarily featured images of his furniture designs and also had pages on woodworking projects like his fine collection of acoustic guitars and cigar box guitars.

Each page of his website related to a style of furniture or set of designs that he had named sometimes for the architectural design firms he worked for like Office Da.

Children’s Book Design & Website

Know Your Hairitage Series: Zara’s Wash Day

Zenda Walker reached out to me through the Reedsy platform in 2021 to collaborate on her delightful children’s book, “Zara’s Wash Day”. As an accomplished beauty stylist, Zenda had a vision to showcase the rich diversity of African hairstyles and their impact on contemporary beauty trends. With the talented Nigerian artist, Princess Karibo, bringing the story to life through captivating illustrations, we embarked on a journey to create not just a book, but a beloved series called ‘Know Your Hairitage’.

Alongside the book, we crafted a unique brand identity and even designed a user-friendly ecommerce website. Zenda’s self-published book garnered recognition and accolades, catching the attention of the Hatchett Group publishing company, who eagerly joined forces to republish the book and continue the educational series with a second installment. Together, we celebrated the power of representation and the beauty of diversity.

THE ART OF LULA BLOCTON : BOOK DESIGN

We are near to the completion of a 3 year project with African American artist, LULA BLOCTON. She was part of a women’s artist movement in New York in the 60’s. This collection of a culmination of her life’s work has produced a 240 page book documenting her art up to now. The forward text essay was written by New York art curator and writer, Barbara Stehle. Each image was meticulously color corrected and adjusted before placing into the book. The book was finally edited by Jonathan Miller who is a freelance writer and an editor for Random House. The book will be published by Lula’s painting mentor, Samia Halaby and her sister Nahida, who run Palestine Books publishing company. The book will be printed by Ingram Spark.
