I build brand systems that hold up in the real world: on a wall, in your hand, at sixty miles an hour. Fifteen years of identities, wayfinding, and environments for hospitality, workplace, and consumer brands, from the first mark through fabrication-ready files.
Founder, Chop Shop Design
Missing Hotel is a remote hospitality property in the Texas Hill Country designed as an immersive landscape experience. I built the full visual identity system from the ground up, translating the founders’ vision into marks, materials, and systems that work across the whole property.
The brand doesn’t compete with the landscape. Wordmark and symbol were designed for clarity at distance and durability across metal signage, print, and embroidery. Each shelter is identified by a custom symbol derived from the Missing “M,” creating a visual language used across wayfinding, maps, and navigation. Guests don’t stay in numbered units. They inhabit a feeling.
Printed guides support the off-grid experience with clear instructions for compost toilets, Chemex brewing, and site etiquette, all on-brand.

Terra Wellness required a brand identity system that could scale across packaging, labels, and printed materials while maintaining clarity and consistency across a wide product range.
Label typography was the central design challenge: hierarchy at a small scale, ensuring product information stays legible while maintaining the brand’s grounded tone. The system extends consistently across tinctures, pellets, acupuncture tools, and print collateral through a unified use of color, spacing, and type.

Internal communication and environmental graphics for a 5-million square foot Amazon fulfillment center supporting more than 4,000 employees across multiple departments and bilingual audiences.
Work included large-scale wall graphics, operational signage, safety communications, emergency facility maps, and department-wide visual systems. The PXT (People Experience & Technology) environment included branded wayfinding, cultural graphics, and orientation materials built to scale across a facility that never stops running.

The Westerly serves classic Canadian comfort food in Toronto. Their menus had been designed in-house and no longer reflected the quality of the restaurant. They wanted evolution, not overhaul, so I started with the dinner menu and redesigned the full suite of printed materials.
The East Room is The Westerly’s sister bar. A companion identity built on three triangles, with a geometric pattern system across menus and interchangeable tap markers for constantly rotating draft selections. The fold-out menu and wooden plank tap sign became the signature tactile pieces of the space.

I’m a senior brand systems and experiential designer based in Austin, Texas. For 15+ years I’ve been building visual systems that translate across signage and screen, hospitality and enterprise, printed matter and physical space.
I’ve designed across editorial, advertising, print production, and large-scale environments, both independently and inside large organizations. That’s meant national campaigns for public sector and healthcare clients at a Toronto agency, environmental graphics and bilingual wayfinding across a five-million-square-foot Amazon facility, and identity systems for hospitality and consumer brands through my own studio. That work has taken me through New York, Toronto, Melbourne, and now Austin. All of it shapes how I work today: precise, durable systems built to hold up in the real world.
AI is part of how I work now. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, and Firefly sit inside my concepting and production process. I direct and iterate on those outputs rather than shipping them as-is, which means faster exploration without giving up craft or control.
I work best with clients who want something that actually functions as a system, not just a logo.
Chop Shop Design is my Austin-based studio. I take on direct client relationships: brand identity from strategy through delivery, environmental and wayfinding work, and the print and fabrication-ready files that make it real. No layers, no hand-off.
