Leadership Learning Center Website Design
Leadership Learning Center is an afterschool program dedicated to promoting education for underprivileged children in the Miami area. They were in need of a dynamic website that would provide a resource for current and future students, parents and contributors. We provided a bright and fun design that is relatable to the students, but also provides abundant information for patrons wishing to contribute to the LLC’s cause. The site design creates a community for all those connected to the Leadership Learning Center and opens up their capabilities for future growth. The LLC is still looking for someone to build out the dynamic site. If you are interested in donating your services please contact us.

University of Miami Homecoming 2009 Posters
As UM alumni, we give back to our alma mater whenever possible. We were invited to help students and alumni gear up for homecoming 2009, where the theme was “iconic music”. Most of the designs created for the event were influenced by the legendary works of other said artists. Non of the homecoming designs were produced for profit by Ourselves or the University of Miami.

University of Miami Homecoming 2009 HHTH Tee
Can you decipher the groovy text in this hip 1960’s inspired design? “Hurricanes Help the Hometown” is a UM tradition where hundreds of students perform community service for a day. The verbiage conforms to the shape of a flower-power VW bus and creates the profile of Sebastian Ibis’s head inside. This single-tone screen print came well within our client’s budget for the event.

Painting a Better Tomorrow Tee
Architecture for Humanity Miami was founded on the mission to bring design, construction and development services to communities through a global network of building professionals. We wanted our design to reflect this collaboration of talented artists, so we had our own designers come together and create a work through a combination of watercolor and computer art. Unfortunately, our design was not chosen, but we believed in it so we entered the design into a tee contest on teextile.com. The company receives hundreds of applicants a day and prints shirts based on popularity. We are happy to say that our shirt has been printed! We sold 26 shirts in the first week.

Emerging Green Builders Tee
The Miami EGB also needed a design that would be trendy while conveying the message of “sustainability” for their t-shirts. Using the phrase “Sustain Yourself” in a detailed typography with floral accents coming off of a structured font, we were able to create a design that blended these different goals in a harmonious fashion, literally. Needless to say, they had the hippest t-shirts at the 2009 National GreenBuild Convention.

Volkswagen Up! Website
This concept is for the Volkswagen “Up!”, an electric vehicle being released in 2011. The idea is that the Up! was designed by the gods, but was given to the humans. Its battery cell makes it almost God-like, making it incredibly fuel-efficient and able to travel the equivalent of over 80 miles per gallon. The site takes the user to VW headquarters in Mount Olympus. There, you can create your own Up!, and take it for a ride on the “cloud highway.”

Stanley Key Masterplan
Lately, Miami has been worried about being underwater in 50 or so years. Stanley Key is not a real island in Florida… yet. The masterplan project looks closely at an area south of Downtown Miami to learn how sea level rise will affect the topography and lifestyles of the people who live there. Many adaptation and mitigation strategies were considered, and these drawings, loosely based on the Urban Transect Theory, were a product of that study. These drawings have been used by Miami-Dade's Climate Change Action Task Force (CCATF) as part of their case for adaptation and mitigation strategies over the next decade.

City of Parkland Cartograms
If you’ve ever been to Disney World and used one of their hand-held maps to get around the park, then you’re familiar with cartograms. These drawings are distorted representations of the City of Parkland, Florida- a horse town built in the Everglades in the 1960’s where herons and horses now coexist. Separately, they indicate the character of the town’s suburban and environmental qualities.
