Matt Leibel

A great copy writer as well as master of the short story, I worked with Matt Leibel on both print and interactive projects. He has a very unique style and a sharp wit to match. I highly recommend him. Matt, if you're reading this, that excellent novel of yours I read years ago better be out soon. Oh, and I want dibs on the book jacket design. mattleibel.com

Emily Tuszynski-Shea

Since we happen to be on the writer kick at the moment, this is another writer I've worked with on hundreds of projects, some of them even on this site. This was a portfolio for Emily created in Flash as a standalone piece so she could wrap it up in a promotional packet.
She and I also used to watch Strongman competitions at lunch together. Good times.

Gifting the new-fashioned way needed an Atomic Age color palette, a warm, inviting feel and some retro illustrations to tie that whole nostalgic feeling all together into one great gifting package. You build and customize your own Gifty to send to your friends, family & frenemies, so I tailored the look to be crafty and DIY as well as vintage looking. All combined it creates double joy for the giver and receiver. giftly.com

Sf Soiree

This was a little party planning outfit in the days before Yelp. In fact, when I got involved, we met a lot of bar owners, hotel managers pitching venues and then networked like crazy once it was up and running. Then once Yelp started, I helped recruit all of our Sf Soiree contacts to Yelp. It's a small world after all. But I love that the guys gave me free reign to design everything how I wanted with Sf Soiree.

Web Icons

Being trained as an illustrator really helped my icon design. From cartoony to realistic to iconic, I've churned out quite a few of these little dudes.

Yelp Check-In Badges

Yelp let me back on the payroll to create some crazy badges you earn when you check into local businesses. I envisioned them to look all crazy like Pogs. Remember those? Anyway, these were a ton of fun. Collect them all! But, I'm still rolling on these and more are sure to come. From left to right we have: Sushi Sensai, Gym Junkie, Brewed Awakening, Soused, Instigator, Urban Farmer, Global Domination, Nighthawk, Big Night, Crosstown Magic, Glamorama, and Domesticated. Check in on Yelp on your iPhone and see what you get.
