Ghostface Killah is a rapper and member of renowned hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan. Debatably the favorite MC of the group, Ghostface is praised for his story-telling instincts, impressively consistent discography, and indecipherable flow. 

He's created a formula that no one else could pull off. His emotional stream of consciousness allows you to experience the sensation of the moment firsthand. His fast-paced, urgent tone forces you to listen to what he has to say. His obtuse wordplay leaves your mind blown away.

He’s Pretty Toney, Starky Love: verbal picture painter, flashy superstar, master of his own slang.

The Glorious Days Tour merch mimics Ghostface's bold and powerful presence.

Two designs were recreated: the Ghostface Killah tee, (inspired by a previous Animal collaboration) and the original Wu-Tang logo tee. 

Responsible for ordering & selling merchandise, along with shooting footage for the tour.

Mobb Deep is an infamous rap duo from Queensbridge, Queens, New York. Started in 1995, the duo consists of artists Havoc and Prodigy. They are known as one of the most critically acclaimed East Coast hip hop groups for their dark, hardcore delivery. They gained much success for two of their early albums, The Infamous (1995) and Hell on Earth (1996).

In 2016, Mobb Deep held a 25th anniversary tour for their Hell on Earth album.

The original branding for the tour featured the use of digitally enhanced flames and the aluminum-esque shine to their logo. Togehter, the branding felt a bit outdated. As they are artists from the 90’s, it's important to keep the old-school aesthetic in tact, but it needed something more updated.

The rebranded version of the tour remains as gritty and dark as the original version, but a bit more modern, smooth, simple and sleek. A combination of ink and bleach were used to create the textures, giving a burning/melting effect with out the digitally enhanced effects. The aluminum shine was taken away from The Infamous Mobb Deep logo, creating a more flat and modern feel.

Sean Price was a rapper born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. Sean was a member of groups Heltah Skeltah and Boot Camp Clik, along with pursuing his own solo career. Price considered himself a "middle class rapper". He was a family man, a proud husband and father of three.

Price was known for his rough personality, his genuine charisma and his dry sense of humor. When he rapped, he brought attitude. His aggression was prominent and his presence was always alpha. Sean’s vocabulary was intelligent, clever and elaborate— yet punning, unusual and violent. His verses filled with lyrics inspired by action hero imagery, drawing influence from characters like King Kong and Mike Tyson. His flow was unstoppable on any beat. His ability to rap that was simply eccentric. Listening to Sean was like reading a comic book.

On August 8th, 2015, Sean Price unexpectedly passed away in his sleep. He was expected to release his next album, "Songs in the Key of Price" later that month.

Sean never denied who he was. He never changed who he was. He embraced himself and that he was an average man. He was one of the most charismatic and intelligent rappers to exist. 

This box set was created in honor of Sean Price. The set features a lyrical story book celebrating Sean's life and music, along with three vinyls: one of his solo work, his work as duo Heltah Skeltah, and his work with Boot Camp Clik.

RIP Sean P! You are missed deeply.

“In 2016, @kwak3s finally said fuck it and bought a PA System, microphones and all the other equipment needed to throw his first rap show. Frustrated that there wasn't an outlet supporting who he thought was Boston's best, he took things in his own hands.”

The motto: Breaking Ground for New Sound

The logo’s electric elements represent the magnitude in Boston’s rap community, similar to an earthquake. Pulling inspiration from topography & heat-maps, a grid of Boston was developed and the texture is used throughout.

Discipline: Branding, Apparel

Summer of ’15 I interned with Puma working in the Apparel Graphics department. There, I created tech packs and prepared each graphic for print. I also searched for seasonal apparel inspiration, analyzed quality of test prints and designed seasonal graphics for men’s and women’s apparel.  

In doing so, I really got an understanding for the print process of apparel graphics. From brainstorming concepts, to building mood boards, creating the design, refining test prints, 'til the final result: seeing locals wearing the finished product. 

Here is a collection of graphics I created while interning with them.
