Refinery 29: 29 Rooms

2016

29 Rooms is a hybrid fashion show meets art installation curated by Refinery 29.

I had the opportunity to art direct and illustrate the promo for their 2016 event.

I was also invited to design the mural which was painted on the exterior of the space.

In 2016, he helped to establish the Portland arm of Oddfellows. Most recently, he's worked as a background artist on Solar Opposites and Captain Fall. He is currently working as a location designer at Disney TVA.

He's also a moderator of Wine After Coffee, and has served as a judge for The Motion Awards.
