I recently did the branding for The Alfred and Upstairs, the restaurant and bar for the Kimberly Hotel in NYC. I created this single business card to work for both venues. I used the ornate designs hidden on the US one dollar bill as inspiration for the drawings  and made a custom wallpaper (shown on the inside of the card) from them.  Its always tricky to house two businesses on one card but I used it to my advantage in this case.

This project is really beyond my wildest dreams- it is a public art project/musical composition involving 600 musicians. I designed a logo, identity system, website, advertising and poster for “Tempelhof Broadcast.” I also art directed a very cool motion graphic animation and movie titles for the short film on the site and there are many more pieces to come. Click here to check out the site we just launched and see the little movie or the image above to see the poster and some web pages. You’ll want to read more about this project –I promise. Lisa Bielawa is an absolute genius so Im pretty proud to be working on this.

“Tempelhof Broadcast” brings together hundreds of musicians in a large-scale spatial acoustic musical celebration in and about Tempelhofer Park in Berlin, composed by American composer Lisa Bielawa.The 60-minute piece will be composed expressly for performance on the tarmac of the former Tempelhof Airport.

Here is a new project that is currently in progress. Tim Saputo, who designs with me quite often, and I are creating and entirely new brand identity for this Williamsburg restaurant. We are in the process of doing a whole new identity package as well as a menu system, coasters. matchbooks (my fave- I have a huge collection of them). Here is a sneak peek. CHECK OUT how fun the kids menu is, there is a little “hidden” french elf!

These are some of the design materials that went along with the new exhibit: DECODENCE / Legendary Interiors and Illustrious Travelers Aboard The S.S. Normandie, which I did exhibition design for as well with Sandra Hirshkowitz, for the Seaport Museum. I did everything from a capsule website for the exhibit to advertising and custom wallpaper for our partners Lalique and Jeremy Scott. Take a look at this snapshot of the varied graphics created.

Stephan Sagmiller from Cyan Jack came to me with one request: “make me the best business ever” no holds barred. I laser die-cut his logo out of super thick stock and used only black and white type, except for a little cyan on the word “hello”.

I drew these organic forms for the owners of Dressler to highlight the amazing antique moldings and tin ceiling that exist in this beautiful space. The food here is really great. Try the fish!

I have been working with MATA for close to 15 years and have done everything from their logo to their website. Founded in 1996 by Philip Glass, Eleonor Sandresky, and Lisa Bielawa, MATA presents pieces by young composers during a week-long festival, held each spring in New York City.
