Graphic Design
Graphic Design work from Restoration, business cards, promotional displays to hubcaps.
Photo Restoration
Had the honor to be part of the team restoring photos on an IP that is a lifelong favorite of mine, Masters of the Universe. This book is the definitive reference bible on all action figure manifestations related to the line from its inception in the 80's to the more recent Classics line.
Since 2020 I ventured down the road of remastering vintage videogame labels by request. Years later I've amassed stellar reviews on all market-fronts with what is regarded as the best replacement labels available. NES, SNES, Genesis, AES, GBC, GBA, and more. All for view at SpaceChakra.com

I clean up photos for commercial use. Removing people, brands, unsightly things. Adjust lighting, vibrancy, smooth things out. This photo is an example that gets used on flyers.
Logos / Business Cards
The client requested a detailed logo reflecting their holistic approach to energetic healing. We were able to create a double-sided business card to showcase the design and include service and contact information.
This business card is an homage to the business card from the movie "American Psycho". It abides to the rules of the original vintage business card in the movie except it's in black, and some necessary updates to follow corporate design guidelines.
An unorthodox sized business card that fits nicely at the corner of any wallet, as it's sized the same height as a standard business card, only it is less wide.
Logo/Splash for the now defunct WiNF Studios LLC (at the time of the design it was called WNF Studios).
Voted best T-Shirt design for the Activision CS/QA design competition. Constraints included using only Activision IP, and I went one step further and made sure it was 100% owned by the company, not just licensed in that time. That made for this timeless design that won and got turned into a T-Shirt that was distributed across CS/QA departments at multiple Activision locations. I incorporated the biggest IP's we had which where World of War Craft, Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, and Call of Duty Black Ops.

I whipped up this cool monogram for a client who wanted to jazz up his Corvette 'floater caps.' He gave me creative freedom from which I found a few constraints: gotta fit the shape, be a certain size, match his yellow Corvette, and, of course, include his initials 'NS.' I hand-drew it and added some digital polish. The 'NS' is there, plus some rad Corvette stuff like an 'Old English' font, a Fleur-de-lis, checkered flag, and the Chevy logo. Oh, and the sun inside the Fleur-de-lis represents the element for which his astrological signs aligns with. Four where produced and installed on his yellow Corvette. Turned out pretty sweet!
I was hired to create some designs for socks that would be marketable. The ask was for simple designs on a limited color palette. I created design with as little as 2 colors and as many as 5, with images intended to be recognizable after printing on various textile textures.
I put together this neat display for custom-sized flyers/business cards. The main goal was to keep it budget-friendly and sturdy, especially since it's meant to be placed in various gyms. I opted for something that could be printed on legal-sized paper and laminated for durability. When folded, the display can handle about 100 flyers, and with the lamination, it's sturdier than cardstock—tear and water-resistant. I added owner information at the bottom just in case a kind soul finds it, they'll have a point of contact to return it. And if all the flyers run out, the display doubles as a business card itself, containing all the information from the cards.
