About.
PROCESS BEHIND THE WORK
GROUNDED IN EXPERIENCE, BUT ALSO SOMETHING MORE PERSONAL.
I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember.
Long before any of this, it started with drawing and making comic books as a kid in Buffalo, coming up with ideas, building characters, and figuring out how to bring something from imagination into the real world. That same mindset never left.
What began as a creative outlet turned into a lifelong collaboration with my brother Westside Gunn, and eventually into helping shape the visual identity of Griselda Records as it grew into a global movement. At the same time, I’ve always been just as invested in working with businesses, organizations, and people who are building something of their own. Because at the core, it’s all the same. Taking an idea and giving it form, structure, and presence.
My approach is simple. I care about the work being real. Not over-designed. Not forced. Not disconnected from the people it’s meant to reach. Whether it’s a global campaign or a small business website, the goal is always the same.
Create something that feels authentic, and performs at a high level.
If you want to create something with purpose, a brand, a campaign, or a new path, let’s talk.
DIRECTion.
CREATIVE & ART DIRECTION
DEFINE THE VISION. GUIDE THE WORK.
Every strong brand starts with clear direction. From creative and art direction to brand and business consulting, we work collaboratively to shape the overall vision, how a brand looks, feels, and communicates across every touchpoint. It’s about aligning ideas with intention and making sure every decision supports a larger purpose. Whether developing from the ground up or refining what already exists, direction brings clarity, consistency, and confidence to the entire process.
Lead with intention, and everything else follows.
SYSTEMS.
BRAND IDENTITY & VISUALS
BUILD THE FOUNDATION THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
Strong brands are built on systems, not guesswork. From responsive logo design and full brand identity systems to style guidelines, wireframes, graphics and digital assets, this focus approaches projects with creating structure that is meant to scale. Every element is designed to work together, across current platforms, formats, with the intent of future growth. The result is a brand that doesn’t just look good, but functions with absolute clarity, and consistency wherever it shows up.
Consistency builds recognition. Systems make it sustainable.
DEVELOPMENT.
WEB & MULTIMEDIA CONTENT
BRING THE BRAND TO LIFE.
Development is where vision and systems become real. From website design and development to photography and video content strategy and creation, we work to execute at a high level, building on platforms and creating content that reflect the brand at a high level. Every detail is considered, from user experience to visual storytelling. The goal is simple: create work that feels authentic, performs effectively, and connects with the people it’s meant to reach.
Built with purpose. Designed to perform.
Campaigns.
BUSINESS & CULTURE
CREATE MOMENTUM.
Go beyond the visuals to better connect with your audience. Whether your looking for ways to grow your customer base, build partnerships, scale your business or wanting to penetrate the music scene, fashion, or culture. From launches to full marketing rollouts, each guided by clear direction, systems with deliberate excellence, and intentional disruption. Imagery, messaging, and assets working together to form a unified presence. The goal is natural, relevant, and purposefully standout moments.
Position your brand within the culture, not outside of it.
