10x20
10x is an annual happening where a select group of artists create visual interpretations of their favorite albums of the year. I have not been invited to participate this year (or any other year thus far), so I'm inviting myself to the party. They typically provide a template size, a set color palette, and 10x logos, then the rest is up to the artists!
Please enjoy my top 10 albums and best song picks! I'm using the color palette from 2018 because I absolutely love it.

10 / God I'm Such a Mess - Cry Club
"Elipsis"

09 / Music Is The Medicine - BLESSED
⭐️ Levitating

8 / Future Nostalgia - Dua Lipa
"Levitating"
The boppiest bops as can always be expected from Miss Lipa. The whole mood of this album is fun and refuses to be anything else.
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off / And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off

7 / Fetch The Bolt Cutters - Fiona Apple
⭐️ Levitating

6 / Ontogeny - Stevan
⭐️ Levitating

5 / Women In Music Pt. III - HAIM
⭐️ Levitating

4 / folklore - T Swift
Unexpected and much needed, this was the bi-annual proof that TS is more storyteller than singer. Another record to escape in.
"invisible string"
Time, curious time / Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs / Were there clues I didn't see?

3 / Shore - Fleet Foxes
"34+35"
The cotton candy bubble bath my ears take while I read the horrible news then miss my friends and family.
You such a dream come true, true /
Make a bitch wanna hit snooze, ooh

2 / 14 Steps To A Better You - Lime Cordiale
"34+35"
Saw these guys play live show exactly 30 days before California went into lockdown. Immaculate vibes dripping off this record.
It's just inappropriate behaviour / To put those ideas in your head / Anyway to sway you in her favour / Madness is the love that I'm gonna get

1 / Positions - Ariana Grande
"34+35"
The cotton candy bubble bath my ears take daily because 2020. Any other year it would not have topped the list but this year it was necessary.
You such a dream come true, true /
Make a bitch wanna hit snooze, ooh

Overview
We partnered with EHG to help them develop separate but complementary brands for their courses. Each course features a guest lawyer from another firm to share their expertise on the subject at hand. Using organic colors, illustration, and playful graphics - we created a look for each course that is unique to its guest. From there, we created a flexible brand identity system that can be used to market the course across the personal and professional touchpoints each law firm maintains.

Overview
I partnered with the founder, Laura Hur, to update the studio's brand identity and website design. We worked together for several months to bring a more authentic, holistic vision of the studio to life.
We found inspiration in deep earthy colors, abstract art, and building materials used in different cultures throughout time.
