I explore music as a subject matter, translating sound into something visual. My style is defined by visual movement and intentional use of distortion. I apply warping, blurring, pixelation, and chromatic aberration to various forms in a piece, but I most often apply it to typography. Typography is a major element of my work, and I distort it to enhance the visual movement of a piece and to effectively communicate expression. My use of typography is often paired with long lines as well as geometric and organic forms to further increase the visual movement of a piece. My work mainly features complimentary or contrasting colors because I find them to be the most visually compelling and effective at communication.

A major goal of my work is to promote expression and style over function. I enjoy implementing distortion into my work because it reminds us that we as humans are not perfect. I also believe that through someone’s visual style we can learn about them as a person, and therefore we can learn about and appreciate entire cultures through distinctive styles. Another goal of my work is to promote other creatives, especially musicians and film directors. Marian Bantjes, Ralph Schraivogel, and April Greiman are a few designers that have specifically influenced me to implement distortion and a stronger sense of visual movement into my work. Musicians that influence my work include My Bloody Valentine, New Order, Bob Dylan, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Iron Maiden, Beach House, and Marvin Gaye.
