Portraits of North Carolina
I have this great footage of Nora in front of the NC Capitol building from when I was on the film crew with Second Story. I also coincidentally found some amazing dated video of North Carolina!
Here is a GIF portrait of Nora, forever Queen of Raleigh, layered on top of old footage of Hillsborough Street and the NC State Bell Tower.
Portraits of Oregon
GIF series in progress. I obtained a 1950’s travel documentary of Oregon, courtesy of The Travel Film Archive. I’m taking landscapes from the film and layering it with portraits of my Oregon friends. Thanks to friends Galen Malcolm and Brooke Harrison for being my first subjects.
Last week, beloved producer Michael Pittman left Second Story to return home to North Carolina. As a farewell gift, the studio collaborated to make him a playlist. I created this custom packaging using scientific illustrations of Oregon’s unique biological creatures. He will be greatly missed and the state of North Carolina is lucky to have him!
Yesterday, my work was featured on a billboard in London to celebrate the Icograda World Communication Design Day. The theme for the project was “1Word1Love”. I chose the word “ENGAGE” because I felt it encompassed the mission of design: finding ways to reflect and connect society. Read the full brief on the project here.

The PDX Tipsheet for the Museums and the Web conference being held this weekend in Portland, written and curated by Michael Neault and designed by me! So proud, and glad it is finally finished.
Wanderlust is a great word, and even though it has been adapted by budding hipsters and instagrammers alike, no one has embodied it more lately than Chris McKee. Backpacking in Peru, sailing around the Caribbean, and coming for a visit in the Pacific Northwest… all within two months. So! For his birthday, I made him (in a belated fashion) this string art piece.
