Johnny Cee
Goal Johnny Cee is a musician in Milwaukee, WI who I first heard on the album Dog Eared Dream by Willy Porter while I was in college. The drums really stood out to me as being unique and expressive. I actually had to learn one of the songs as a cover for a band I was playing in at the time and ended up playing along to the whole album just for fun.

How I achieved it I talked to Thea about how she wanted the site to look and feel. The lines of the cello are fluid and curved and we wanted to portray that throughout the design so I used this as the main design feature. I had created her logo last year and......
Somewhere Else
Artwork for a single release for a very nostalgic, well-written country song by Jake called “Somewhere Else”. Over the phone, Jake told me about a house that was falling down near a big tree in a country field. I wanted to capture this moment and show it as a memory so I placed the photo...
Put Yourself In Their Shoes.
Growing up, a lesson I learned very early on was to “put yourself in other people’s shoes”. This basically means to have empathy for other people.
