Hello SONY ☻

BETSEY JOHNSON
I worked as an art director for Betsey Johnson for almost 3 years. During that time I worked on shoots weekly to fulfill various marketing objectives. My role changed many times during my tenure at Betsey; I started out as a freelance designer, then I was brought on full time as a Social Media Manager, and then I was promoted to Senior Designer. Here I have included some of the projects that I was most involved in, highlights including set design and art direction for our Fall 2018 Campaign with Princess Nokia and the cottagecore goodness of the Summer 2019 Campaign I creative directed.

Abandon Normal Instruments
Abandon Normal Instruments is a new music startup founded by industry professionals building a new system for the music industry that addresses the diverse needs of the music community—a sort of WeWork for recording studios and similar industry needs. I worked with the A.N.I. team on their initial branding.
The final logo and accompanying system aesthetically represents their vision. The logo is a psuedo-soundwave-pseudo-typographic line that reads well at super small sizes.
