HIPPIE TOWN
A whimsical identity for a lifestyle clothing line.
![]()
The design is based off of a psychedelic bar in Osaka, Japan called “ganja/acid.” The owner once referred to my hometown San Francisco as a “Hippie Town.”
I took that quote and combined it with Japanese “kawaii” style pop art to craft a run of tees and stickers.

Album Artwork
Cover design for DaBaby’s “My Brother’s Keeper (Long Live G)”
Commemorating his late brother, DaBaby knew he wanted the artwork to center around this childhood photo. I framed it within a polaroid scan, adding layers of analogue texture and forgoing text to evoke memory and rememberance.
Debuted on the Billboard 200 for albums.

Cover design for Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Let’s Be Friends”
Carly wanted to subvert conventional Valentine’s Day romanticisim, so I went to Party City and destroyed some classic romantic consumer goods. I snapped the wreckage next to the dumpster, lowering shutter speed to convey the uptempo song’s energy.

Cover design for Lana Del Rey’s “Doin’ Time”
Lana took this iphone selfie, and I was brought on board to evoke her retro, nostalgic, and intimately lofi aesthetic to match Sublime’s legendary song.

Cover design for Tom Morello’s “Stand Up”
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine wrote this song in response to George Floyd’s murder. I wanted to use bold, minimal typography for the cover, channeling the song’s succint call to action . Drawing influence from my own background in grafitti/street art, I distressed the classic Impact font used in many grafitti crew stickers to echo where the movements and protests were happening: the street.
