ACURA
Art Direction, Graphic DesignI had the amazing opportunity to help craft the visual look for Acura’s new Type S campaign which was centered around an episodic manga inspired film called “Chiaki’s Journey.” We created a design direction with the help from The Line and Shotopop animation sudios that were centered around the Manga design language but with a modern twist and approach. The work was used in the film as well as many other events and billboards across the country.

ACURA MDX
Art Direction, Graphic DesignAcura was looking for a new way into their launch of the MDX and the idea was centered around Acura’s performance and racing history. I got to break a lot of design conventions on this and couldn’t be happier. Huge thanks to Mike and Mullen Lowe for having me on.
