SAMSUNG ART STORE

Samsung Art Store transforms TVs into a home gallery. Campaigns feature lifestyle key art that spotlights the artists and invites users to envision the artwork on their own walls. Every visual element—from on-device banners to social media campaigns—tells part of the story, supported by videos that bring the artists’ visions to life. Curated color schemes make each piece shine, creating an immersive, cohesive experience that celebrates both the artwork and Samsung’s design vision.

SAMSUNG TV PLUS

When Samsung TV Plus launched its bold new look in 2022, it marked more than just a redesign—it was a statement of growth, with even more free content to discover and enjoy.

The challenge and opportunity was to express this new energy while keeping the experience familiar and inviting for existing users. Leveraging the vibrant color system and cascade motif created a dynamic visual world that celebrates abundant connection, movement, and seamless streaming—on every screen and beyond.

CROOKED

Three years after Crooked Media launched in 2016 as a no-nonsense conversation about politics and culture, the company had grown into a full media network showcasing stories, voices, and opportunities that inform, entertain, and inspire action. The challenge was to refresh the brand in a way that captured this evolution—expanding the original mark into a scalable, cohesive visual system capable of supporting Crooked’s expanded mission and momentum.

EDITH!

Branding for Edith!, a scripted comedy podcast starring Rosamund Pike about the untold, true-ish story of America’s secret first female president, Edith Wilson. The visual direction draws on the polished, heroic imagery traditionally used to mythologize figures like George Washington, then subverts it to reveal tension and contradiction. The goal was to create artwork that builds intrigue and portrays Edith as a complicated, layered character rather than a straightforward historical hero.

Branding for a narrative podcast about the Weather Underground, shaped by host Zayd Ayers Dohrn’s experience growing up underground as the child of counter-culture fugitives. His family’s radical history sets the raw, urgent tone of the visual system. The identity distills this charged past into a contemporary graphic language, balancing archival grit with modern clarity across digital and promotional materials.
