Process, side projects and the occasional food truck.

  1. A Conjure picture: a dithered, melting field of pink, cyan, yellow and purple pixels with wavy drips along the bottom and fine grain over everything.

    Conjure: A Reward for Writing Bad Poetry

    I built a little site that turns any poem, good or bad, into a one-of-a-kind picture. Here’s how it reads your words.

  2. The heyryker.com landing page: the big HEY [I’M] RYKER headline with five small pixel meeples wandering over it, pixel flowers and grass planted around them, and the [I’M] tinted yellow where the yellow meeple is standing on it.

    I Built This Site in a Weekend With Claude

    From a Squarespace subscription to a hand-built site with five pixel coworkers, in about 24 hours.

  3. The CKO logo in bubble letters, bright blue with a light outline, above a palette strip of orange, cream, blue, charcoal and pink.

    CKO: Strong Past, Strong Future

    The identity for Lucid’s Company Kick-Off: a bubble-letter logo, a hype video, signage and swag.

  4. A long hallway with a printed timeline along one wall: a large sepia portrait of Maud May Babcock, then teal and gray panels of photos and text running toward the far end.

    A 60-Foot Timeline for the U of U Theatre

    A history wall and two feature walls for the University of Utah’s Theatre Department, designed with GSBS Architects.

  5. The Cauli’s food truck: a bright yellow truck covered in cauliflower icons, with a big cauliflower face and a hand-lettered menu.

    If I Wasn’t a Designer, I’d Run a Food Truck

    Cauli’s: the food truck brand I’d build if I ever swapped design tools for fryer baskets.

  6. The TRON IMPACT logo over a desaturated, wide-angle portrait of a smiling man in ski goggles.
