Wayland capstone

My senior capstone at Wayland Academy, shown at the school’s annual capstone fair. The WAYLAND throw-up on wood panel, with Chitown Bigbang and Topic Flow on stands beside it; Topaz was painted for the same series. Every piece is my own, start to finish. It was the first time I presented my work to a room and had to explain the choices behind it.

The collection

A full collection sheet and the tech packs behind it: hoodies, tees, beanies. I designed each garment and wrote every spec myself (measurements, construction callouts, colourway grids, trims and care labels) on a standard tech-pack template. This is the part of design I want to study: turning a drawing into a document a factory can build from. Drag each pack sideways.

The Topia pop-up

A Topia table at a campus event on the Menlo College quad. I designed the brand behind it: the logo, palette, technical flats and colourway grids, and the print files a DTG shop put onto the shirts. The posters and flyers were made by others. It was a display, not a sale. The goal was to put the process, the designs and the product in front of the public and see how people responded. It was the first time the brand met the public.

2024 to 2026

Pieces of 25–26

The canvases since Wayland: wildstyle letters, a character, and the skyline that became a back print. Painting is still where my designs start. The Exit Row hoodie shows the next step, where I redrew the skyline as a print and specced where it sits on the garment.

Sketches

Where every piece starts. Blockletter studies, characters, and drafts, mostly. Sketching is how I test a shape before it costs paint or a print run. Some become canvases, some stay pages.

Things I stop for. Rainier from the plane window, the tag on a wall in Chicago, the cities in between.

Timeless

A full-size mural for the Sports Pavilion at Menlo College, approved by the college and building on the letters and sky from Exit Row Chi. I’m designing it, and I’ll paint it with a muralist: letters first, then colour, then the wall. The sketch page is where it started; the canvas studies are how it’ll get scaled up. Taking a design from a page to a wall is the same problem as taking a flat to a garment: the proportions have to survive the jump.
