		<description>Upon being hired as the web intern for Krudco. Skateshop, I was asked to do some design work besides just working on fix-up/maintenance of the website. I created a few variations of both desktop wallpapers and banners to be displayed on other websites. My work was displayed on iPath Footwear's website when Krudco. was highlighted as a featured shop. The designs were meant to portray Krudco. and it's position as the central hub of the local Rochester, NY skate scene. Original Krudco. type designs by Erich Lehman.

		<description>Held at Squeaky Wheel in Buffalo, NY. The Don't Not Do Take This Exhibition featured work from SUNY Fredonia's graduating Graphic Design BFA students concerning the topic of responsibility/consequence. The exhibition took place during April/May of 2011.

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90346/1504229/Full_860.jpg" width="860" height="300" width_o="860" height_o="300" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90346/1504229/Full_o.jpg" data-mid="7348610"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;

My Work in the Exhibit:
 Untitled Graphic Exploration
My individual project for the show was an exploration of opportunity throughout life.  I focused on how it can easily be disguised as something else entirely, making it easy to miss or pass over without a second thought. The project consisted of 3 panels which grew out from the wall as they progressed. I incorporated both graphic elements and found fabric.

Artist Statement (as seen in show)
Good opportunities are something that most people feel don’t happen enough. In reality though, we have new opportunities almost every single day. 

Often times the paths leading to these new opportunities seem unclear or can be disguised as something else, leading people to make choices without always knowing the outcome. 

This piece is a graphic exploration of that mindset, building with more paths and choices in parallel with our lives.

		<description>Identity system and mockup packaging design for the MUSE Smartphone. The phone's focus is on allowing easy collaboration between creatives through it's wireless connecting. The identity design portrays this collaboration with the use of overlapping geometric shapes to create lettering. While the scattered lines hint at the transfer  and movement of files digitally.
