MY 360° VIEW OF THE CREATIVE WORLD AROUND ME.
I have been in the advertising and sports marketing industry for over eight years in New York City and St. Louis. I am currently an Associate Creative Director at XG-Advertising in St. Louis.
The Land Shark brand wanted to carry their message of summer fun through the winter months, I led the team in creating this winter Sandman and related point of sale.
In support of the national rollout for Land Shark, I created this washed up crate packed with promotional and informative items, including branded messages in bottles, to excite and educate wholesalers about the brand, which became a 2008 St. Louis Addy Award winner in the 3-dimensional direct mail category.
Chelada - The Perfect Combination of Bud/BudLight and Clamato juice...not my cup of tea, but it's actually very popular. If you like a bloody mary, then you will like Chelada. I lead the team at XG-ad to develop and refresh the national look at retail for this growing brand.
The site sat between various foreign embassies represening countries around the world. I focused this project on Native American culture and its lack of representation in Washington. The concept took many of its cues from cultural elements and the surrounding structures.
Along the upper edge of New York city sits heavily wooded bluffs along the Hudson River, this project created a space that could be used as an end point of exile and escape for a private Manhattan resident.
Site: West Side Hwy. on Hudson River, Next to Stuyvesant HS, Manhattan
Professor: Claire Weisz
My solution was to use to surrounding spatial relationships of the site to form a learning space where all levels would be unified by a central corridor and would encourage collaboration using common areas and overlapping spaces.
