On October 1, 2013, Fresh Tilled Soil held its first annual UX Fest. The event brought together Boston's UX community to explore how every aspect of a business–from design and technology to marketing and strategy–contributes to the user experience. The event was a success, and a year later, we held an encore. I’m proud to have helped conceive of and organize these events, contributed to the creative collateral, and led sessions.
After nearly ten years of working in the fast paced, ephemeral realm of online experiences, we at Fresh Tilled Soil decided to stop, think, and get some ink on our hands. The result was Fold, the company's first-ever print publication. In addition to design and editorial contributions, I illustrated nine portraits for a feature story on leadership in the digital design industry.
After several years of stewarding the To Boldly Fold brand and visual identity, I was thrilled to contribute to the design of our leather-bound books for the first time. The results were the Manifesto Series and Travel Series, two collections of handsome sketchbooks and journals.
To Boldly Fold isn't all leather sketchbooks and journals. Our line of hand-lettered goody bags bring a bit of whimsy and artistry to an everyday experience.
The Roberts Collection is a set of inns set in the heart of beautiful, historic Nantucket. When Fresh Tilled Soil created a new website for the inns in 2013, I created an illustrated map to represent the once disparate buildings as a cohesive group. The Gate House, as well as the courtyard before it, was under construction during our engagement, and was thus rendered from blueprints and in-progress snapshots. In addition to the full color map, I produced four additional images (each highlighting a single building) for the inns' individual information pages.
Since I joined Fresh Tilled Soil in 2012, the company has known four offices: two headquarters and two satellites. It's been my joy to illustrate them all for our website, to capture the architectural spirit of each environment. From brick-and-beam New England mills to downtown San Francisco, they presented unique challenges and opportunities.

CloudKid is an extraordinary, Emmy-nominated creative agency specializing in animation and interactive children's media. As a member of their team in 2011, I proudly contributed to a number of client projects, primarily a suite of games for the fantastic Fizzy's Lunch Lab.

When Fresh Tilled Soil made coded style guides a standard deliverable, they produced a simple framework to simplify the process of making them. When it came time to open source the project, it needed a name and a logo. Corkscrew was born, and along with it, a fun little duck.
