Last night, I attended the brand launch party for Eugene's new USL team and honestly felt pretty underwhelmed :/
While I really like the unique color scheme and the concept as a whole, I feel like it still looks unfinished & is missing some depth & cohesion in the design 🏔️🏞️

I haven't posted here in quite a while, but now I'm back with more time to design passion projects, including this one I'm starting pretty soon! :)

Introducing my brand-new portfolio site!!!

In late January, I had a portfolio review session with a Nike design director who suggested focusing more on my design process rather than the final products
In the few months since then, I've been working on a complete overhaul of my portfolio site!

Seattle’s World Cup 2026 poster is stunning.

While I wish they brought the psychedelic typography [from the sleeve patch] to the rest of the jersey, the new City Connect jersey for the Giants is really growing on me! 🔮📀
Overall, I think this is a MASSIVE upgrade from the old fog/Golden Gate Bridge City Connect jerseys

The #SFGiants wear San Francisco’s remix. Every detail samples the city’s energy and flips it into something bold and fresh

Deadass, I nearly had a shopping cart collision with some dude in a camo shirt but honestly, how would I have seen him coming? 🤷

I usually have pretty bad luck with finding jerseys at Ross/TJMaxx/Marshalls kinda stores, but I hit the jackpot today!
I paid $60 for both of these 2024 Timbers kits, which originally retailed for $100 EACH 🌲⚽

I had to digitize the new USL Championship number font for a few upcoming projects, and it is one CLUNKY font 😬
(I included the few reference shots that I used to sketch the general number shapes out of)

Aside from the jersey itself, the explainer is great. Explainers are great – when they explain things like actual details and design choices that designers make. Explainers are bad when a brand nerd makes up shit in the post-design phase, which too many brand/marketing cosplayers do.

The 2025 NWSL kits are all pretty good and complement the holdover 2024 kits very well, but there's one glaring inaccuracy in the Angel City kit that really bothers me:
110 is both an Interstate Highway & a CA State Highway, but it is NOT a US Highway (like 101) as depicted on the kit design 😬

The radio at the grocery store I work at has an absurd amount of Phil Collins on its playlist, and they play 2-3 of his songs every day without fail 😂

Someone should really check in on how Drake is doing this week 😬
- The diss track about him won FIVE [well-deserved] Grammys
- He's gonna have millions of people call him a p*dophile during the Super Bowl

In the first week of the Trump 2.0, Democrats have been divided, disoriented - and largely silent. They seem to be waiting for all the answers and the right message to speak up. That's a mistake. Here are some thoughts on how they can start fighting back ASAP. www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-democr...
How Democrats Can Start Fighting Back
Too many in the party are overcomplicating the simple and unable to muster any opposition to Trump.

I never really liked videos on Instagram that are over a minute long
If I wanted to watch a full-length video, I would just go to YouTube where I have the OPTION to watch it horizontally (and at a faster speed) as the video was intended

My local Monterey Bay FC side came out with a brand refresh yesterday, and it honestly leaves me scratching my head as a graphic designer
They turned away from one copyright dispute with MLS & Philadelphia Union right into a potential new one with NWSL & Bay FC in nearby San Jose ⚽

Making a restaurant menu was always a random design project that I had wanted to do one day, but I didn't realize I would be making one so soon!
At first, I worked with La Tortuga Tortería in Seaside, CA to just create a new menu. It ended up becoming a whole update of their existing branding! 🐢🌮🌯

The Toronto WNBA team held an open call to designers to help create brand identities for the 2-3 name finalists
I submitted an application but never heard back 😭

Reading more into fan reactions, they promised an identity that represented Toronto but ended up with something so generic :/

Some other info and alternate logos for the Toronto Tempo WNBA team.
The team says: “it’s pace. It’s speed. It’s a heartbeat. And it’s what you feel when you step into the streets of this city.”
The six lines represent the 6ix too.
Tip off 2026.

I don't focus on using my social media as a means of gaining new clients as 3/4 of my client base was gained from referrals from previous clients
My IRL connections were my first clients, which then started the chain of word-of-mouth referrals through the years

you've got to put your work where the people are—social media platforms still play a role in marketing for Designers/studios. but never as important as connections you make on the projects you have. do great work with great service. idk how many followers/likes thats worth but more than ive ever had
