Design Spotlight / Eclipse 2024

Total Eclypse: North American Tour Design

Gear Up for the Eclipse with Our Rock-Inspired, Personalized Apparel

There's something undeniably magical about an eclipse. It's one of those rare moments that make you stop and gaze in awe at the sky. That's exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in our Total Eclypse collection. It's not just about astronomy; it's about those moments that make us all look up in wonder.

I'm really excited about this collection, and I think you will be too. It's got t-shirts, hoodies, and tanks, each with a design that's a nod to this incredible event. And the cool part? You can personalize them! Add your city, mark a special date – make it a keepsake of where you were when the sky put on its show.

New Logo Design and Branding for NWPA Pride Alliance

A New Identity for a New Future

For over ten years, NWPA Pride Alliance has been fighting for visibility and creating a sense of community for members of the LGBTQ+ population in northwestern Pennsylvania. We have seen amazing growth in everything from our annual events to the people being more active in the community, but now it's time to take things to the next level - introducing an exciting new logo design and branding! This fresh look is both modern and timeless, showing off our bold spirit alongside elements that represent both progress and tradition. Our goal with this rebrand is not only to celebrate who we are as a collective queer identity today, but also reflect on how far we've come since NWPA Pride began its journey.

Available for Curbside Pick Up

Get This Fun Design to Help Curb Those Quarantine Cravings

I made this design to resemble chalk writing on a blackboard. The kind of thing you see outside a restaurant or cafe that might offer curb side pick up.

There is some intentional innuendo that perhaps YOU might be available for curbside pickup. Get his design on a variety of clothing, masks, and other items. They make great gifts for that thirsty friend who is always on the prowl.

NWPA Virtual Pride T-Shirts

NWPA Virtual Pride T-Shirts

NWPA Pride Alliance is unable to hold their annual Pride events this year because of COVID-19. As the winner of their t-shirt design contest for the last 3 years, they asked me if I was willing to partner with them this year to create a design that we could sell exclusively online. I was of course thrilled to help!

The design selected includes two bands of assorted LGBTQIA+ Pride Flags circling a digital representation of the world. Now more than ever we need to come together while staying apart. A portion of all sales of this design on any of the MANY products being offered goes to NWPA Pride Alliance, Inc. in north western Pennsylvania.
