Client: The documentary Why They Run
This site was designed for the documentary "Why They Run." The film follows five runners as they prepare to run the Chicago Marathon on behalf of the Team In Training charity. The overall feel of the site was chosen to show the struggle and commitment it takes to finish a marathon. The mood is somber and reflective, but still inspiring and hopeful.
Client: Chicago-based musician Lesley Spencer

The menu bar remains a constant at the top of each page, allowing visitors to navigate back and forth throughout the entire site with ease. The front page was designed to allow the incorporation of new releases as they are developed.

Lewis Hollow Recordings
Client: Jeremy Enigk
This identity was created for Lewis Hollow Recordings. The inspiration was a play on the word "hollow," which led to the vision of a wooded area. While it was required for the logo to have a natural feel, it also needed to be contemporary and fit in with the independent music scene. The font choice is unique enough on its own to create a distinct identity for the record label.
