Bgency Retrospective
2025
This book is a historical investigation into the government’s most disposable branch. Formed for the start of the Ten-Day War (7 July 1991) in Slovenia, its budget was among those funded with the dying throes of Cold War paranoia. Quickly this agency’s mission became to fight the secondary wars, the fringe conflicts that would come to define the Post-Soviet world. To some it was clear a B-team was needed to manage these scuffles, and the associated international tensions.
This book started as a D&D campaign run with my spy adventure prompt builder. It quickly spiraled into an idea that felt larger than the table we were sitting at. Filled with ideas from Evan Stark, David Szmit, and Chris Solada — the thought of creating a fake government agency took over every waking moment. After many nights of illustrating patches and writing back story, the book came together with a museum-esque tone.
United Sodas first reached out to me in 2019 to design and build their Ecomm site - Since that initial project I became more ingrained in the day to day of the brand. Working closely with Center Design to help extend the original brand, I was the creative director until 2023. Working with every part of the brand, I helped guide multiple teams to create this beautiful brand.
Burnt is a web3 foundry launching their own l1. I designed and built their digital brand ecosystem and launched creative projects to extend their audience.
In 2012, Brandon Iffert and I started making websites together. We have had the chance to build for some amazing clients of the last 10 years.
Desgin Gin is an 'American Modern' gin created by myself and Alex Levin in March of 2015. From a simple, semi-drunken misspelling, an idea was born to create a brand with and for fellow creative people. The work here is but a small segment of the work I've done with the brand.
In 2012, Brandie Gehan reached out to me to build an identity for her new tableware company. I worked as the creative director for the following 4 years, leading a team of 10 who were responsible for production and marketing.
