Around Austin

Austin has a distinct creative sensibility—shaped by independent people building meaningful things in their own way. These projects sit within that ecosystem, each one reflecting and contributing to the culture of the city.

My role has been to help give that sensibility form—translating it into visual systems, identities, and experiences that feel grounded in Austin while evolving over time.

Austin Film Festival

I led two years of branding for the Austin Film Festival, shaping how the festival shows up across print, digital, and on-site experiences. Rooted in AFF’s mission to champion storytelling, the work brought a cohesive identity across mediums.

Misprint Magazine

From 2005–2012, Misprint Magazine was an independent publication covering Austin’s music scene and subculture. Over 21 issues, it became a recognizable part of the city—something people picked up, kept, and showed up for in real life.

As a co-founder, I led the vision end-to-end, shaping the editorial voice, designing every issue, and growing it into a platform that extended beyond print through events and community.

Low Down Lounge

The Low Down Lounge is a bar located in the heart of bustling East 6th Street in Austin. I worked closely with the owners to develop a visual brand and designs that reflect all things LDL - no fuss, no muss, colorful, irreverent, and divey.

ColdTowne Theater

ColdTowne Theater showcases improv, sketch, stand-up comedy, and more, seven nights a week. I worked with the founders to establish a distinct brand and a flexible system for creating everything from show posters to ongoing marketing.

Punch Comedy

Punch is a weekly stand-up comedy show curated by award-winning Austin comedian Matt Bearden. The branding draws from themes of comedy and performance, interpreted through the visual language of American cults and secret societies.
