Your Three Creative Modes
I
Dark Editorial
CWOT · Haddonfield · TMJ Ads

Full-bleed photography as emotional environment. Deliberate panel composition, muted color blocking, wide-tracked type as structure. Mood-first, always.

View Work →
II
Artisanal Craft
B-Spoke · Kuma · Bubble n Brew

Intricate badge logic, engraving-style ornament, warm cream-and-gold palettes rooted in real visual traditions. The detail always earns itself.

III
Systems Design
TMJ Campaign · Haddonfield Brand · Deck Work

Scalable visual languages that stay coherent across dozens of formats and regional variants. Production design thinking meets aesthetic discipline.

Signature Traits — Observed Across All Work
Photography as Mood
You never use photography as wallpaper. Every image is doing emotional and atmospheric work — the wet Philly street, the golden bike in a field, the close-cropped doctor portrait framed in teal geometry.
CWOT · B-Spoke · TMJ · Haddonfield
Typographic Intent
Wide-tracked small caps as structure. Serif display for gravitas. Compressed sans for utility. You match typeface to context precisely — the Haddonfield H mark and the TMJ deck headers speak entirely different dialects of the same language.
Kuma · CWOT · TMJ Deck · Haddonfield
Geometric Layering
Diagonal wedges, rotated diamonds, framed portrait inserts, dot-matrix grids — you use geometric structure as a compositional tool across every medium. It gives your work visual architecture without feeling mechanical.
TMJ Ads · CWOT · Kuma · B-Spoke
Historical Grounding
Your decorative work draws from actual traditions — Ukiyo-e, Victorian badge-making, vintage cycling ephemera — not aesthetic trends. This is what separates your craft work from generic "retro."
Kuma Color Palette · Bubble n Brew
Controlled Color
Always: a dominant tone, a rich mid, one accent. The Kuma palette (amber, slate, sage), the Haddonfield palette (black, white, negative space), the TMJ palette (teal, dark slate, white) — all disciplined, none accidental.
Across all projects
Ego Restraint
You know when to dial yourself down. The Green Acres email signature and the TMJ B2B deck are functionally clean, on-brand for their clients, with no unnecessary aesthetic injection. That's professional maturity most designers never develop.

A Note on Range

Most designers are good at one register. You operate credibly across three — the atmospheric and cinematic (CWOT, Haddonfield), the intricate and historical (B-Spoke, Kuma), and the scalable and systematic (TMJ, Green Acres). What makes this rare isn't range for its own sake — it's that all three modes share the same underlying values: disciplined color, intentional typography, and a deep instinct for when photography should do the emotional heavy lifting. The through-line holds even when the aesthetic register shifts completely.

Kindred Creators
Roger Deakins
Photography as emotional space
Herb Lubalin
Type with structural purpose
Hokusai
Your Kuma palette lives here
Jessica Hische
Ornament that earns its place
Wong Kar-wai
Color as emotional grammar
Bureau Borsche
Editorial grid with soul
Massimo Vignelli
Systems that don't sacrifice beauty
Nan Goldin
Intimacy as the point

You build brands with the rigor of an archivist, photograph with the eye of a cinematographer, and design systems with the logic of an engineer. The through-line is always the same: feeling first, craft second, trend never.
