Graphic Designer - Graj + Gustavsen

DESCRIPTION:
The Brooks Brothers Flatiron Shop was born out of a need to reach younger customers. The shop’s concept and merchandising approach focuses on youthful independence, self-expression and personalization. In addition to the Broadway flagship store there are hand-full of shops open across the US and new International locations in Toronto, Milan and Santiago.

With the help of Brooks Brothers’ rich collection of archives I created a logo and identity system that gives authentic homage to their past with a modern twist. What is old is new, and it wouldn’t be Brooks without including the fleece icon.

Senior Design Consultant - Yahoo Inc.

DESCRIPTION:
This past year I was immersed in the rebranding of Yahoo while working in-house with their Brand Creative Group. Our task was to update the identity to fit their evolved product UI which leans more sophisticated than quirky.

While the final logo design was not my own, I was an integral part of the entire design process, launch and integration. To gain momentum for the official logo release Yahoo changed the logo on its homepage everyday for 30 days - a number of the logos featured were my designs.

POSITION:
Graphic Designer - Graj + Gustavsen

DESCRIPTION:
The Ecoshirt Sustainable Goods Co. started as an idea to do something different, to take our favorite stuff and make it better. Responsible clothing with a positive message, made from organic, recycled and sustainable materials.

The G+G owned brand was developed and designed in-house for American Eagle Outfitters. I played a major role in bringing Ecoshirt to life and to market. 

Modieval is a hybrid typeface that contains medieval black-letter influences as well as geometric mono-weight characteristics. I plan to release it as a family of three weights (Light, Regular and Bold) with possible alternates (Decorative and Display).

It has always been a personal goal to create a functioning original typeface. Modieval evolved from a few letterforms that were pulled out of my scrap heap of un-used logo designs. Reduce, Re-use and Recycle!

License available for purchase soon in the Shop

This is a collection of identity marks that I have designed over the past few years. The majority of them are currently or previously in use.
