I’m at an exciting point in my career where I am currently looking to take on any and all kinds of creative work — full-time, part-time, temporary, or contract/freelance. I’m an Art Director, Graphic Designer, and Illustrator with over a decade of experience with work spanning agencies, in-house marketing teams, and freelance work in the music and entertainment industries, nonprofit sector, and education. You can view my portfolio of work and my resume on my website: If you’re looking for a creative professional, I’d love to chat! Please feel free to share my post, tag anyone who might be interested, or send me a message.

A belated happy first Mother’s Day to the most incredible woman and momma this 3-month-old(!) baby and papa could ever ask for. And of course, to the woman who continues to teach me how to be the best parent and human I can be ❤️

Getting back to work and trying to find a routine that fits among the bottles, poopy diapers, tummy time, and lots and lots of cuddles isn’t easy — partly because raising a kid is a lot of work, but mostly because spending time looking at anything that isn’t my daughter’s perfect face feels like time wasted. But after putting a lot of things on hold, I am slowly getting back to the creative process! The first finished project I’m sharing is a rebrand for Container Essentials, a bulk shipping container company based in Chicago. They wanted a smarter, more creative identity while keeping a similar color scheme, and I had a lot of fun working with shapes and geometry on this one. Swipe through to see the details, and visit containeressentials.com to get in touch with them. Thanks to my buddy Aaron Goulet for reaching out and for a lively, collaborative process!

Five years ago today, this beautiful woman told me she wanted to marry and have babies with the next person she dated and I said BET. Crazy to think how much has changed and how much we’ve been through together in those five years, but there’s no one I would rather experience it all with, diaper blowouts and sleepless nights included. Happy anniversary to the most loving, generous, intuitive wife, partner, mother, and friend I have ever known - AND happy TWO MONTH BIRTHDAY today to the insanely cute baby we made together!

Couldn't let any more of the new year slip by without sharing my favorite music from last year! With 2025 being the whirlwind that it was for me, I honestly had less time to connect with albums than usual — but that just made the ones that did connect hit that much harder. Here's my top 20 releases in order, plus a bunch of honorable mentions that I enjoyed but just didn't get to spend enough time with. Friendly reminder that sp*tify doesn't pay artists shit and uses the subscription money you give them to fund genocidal wars instead! Buy a record, go to a show, and support your favorite artists in more meaningful ways this year.

Got to spend some valuable time with my siblings this weekend on the first anniversary of my Dad leaving us. It's extra important to keep your loved ones close right now, and I'm so grateful for these two and the rest of my people ❤️‍🩹

2025 was the worst year of my life. It was also the happiest year of my life. January 9th I lost my Dad, my best friend and my biggest inspiration; 5 months later I lost my job; a week later I got to marry the love of my life, and a month later we learned that we're going to be parents; 2 months after that, we had to say goodbye to our Biggest fur baby; 2 months later, my family suffered the loss of my wonderful stepdad; and 2 months later here we are. It's hard to fathom 365 days filled with so much death and happiness and despair and celebration. It's also pretty wild to think that a person can contain so much grief and so much joy at the same time. I'm grateful to all who were here to experience all these moments with me, regardless of where they fall on the spectrum of emotion. Cheers to a little more joy next year 🥂

Illustration and poster design for one of my favorite new clients @carolinatheatredurham ! They have an insane lineup for their @retrofilmseries starting in January, and tickets are on sale now. If you're in the area, grab a season pass and a poster while you're there!

I’m devastated to share the passing of my stepfather Dan Palermo. Dan had a huge heart and loved my Mom, my siblings and I, and his many grandkids so deeply. His loss will be felt by many, and his impact on all of us will never be forgotten. Rest easy Dan 💔
