Archivo Latino
Archivo Latino is a t-shirt print project celebrating Latin American culture by showcasing culturally relevant objects brought upon a series of interviews with members of Project Crea, an initiative by Creato. The word ‘archivo’ in Spanish stands for ‘archive’ and so this project intends to capture a collection of objects in the form of a walking museum, informing viewers about the objects' meanings and origins through a Latin American context.

Archivo Latino – Exhibition
Archivo Latino was shown in a live-person event at the end of the mentorship program of Project Crea. My intention with this installation was to capture the feeling of a Tianguis; a traditional open-air market in Mexico and Central America. Milk crates are often used as seating for the merchants or cubbies to store merchandise. Since these markets are always under 10 x 10 ft tarps, merchants maximize their displays by hanging them; my twist was to create a symmetrical composition that would be pleasing to the eye and would allude to the hanging displays of Tianguis merchandise.
NOT A BBQ Posters
Last summer a friend of mine started hosting BBQs in his backyard. These BBQs started including electronic music and friends DJing until the early hours of the morning. The joke was that my friend started telling people there would be NO FOOD in the following gatherings, and so these gatherings were then called NOT A BBQ – @itmightbeabbq was born. My friend then created the first invite poster for NOT A BBQ featuring a skunk. He then requested me to do the following posters since then and adopted the skunk as our mascot.
House Of Marasii Poster
Thanks to the exposure of the NOT A BBQ Posters I was able to create yet another poster for another series of DJ sets. Here’s the first iteration of House of Marasii – where Marasii the main DJ invites his friends to DJ or play live music with a focus on desi sounds.
Splitsville’s Logo
While working in Zerotrillion I got the opportunity to re-imagine Splitsville’s branding– a chain of bollowing alleys in Canada. We presented various options and ultimately landed on one that alluded to the old logo, with a fresh take. The new logo retained the iconic “i” pin; however, reducing it to only one “i”. With a few tweaks, the typeface I chose gives it an air of fun that works for both young and older audiences without making it too quirky.
Leo Burnett’s Wine Survivor
A fun logo for an agency event where the wine with the most remaining tickets wins. Hence wine survivor.

Cider Marketplace – Illustration Concept
At some point, I was so obsessed with ciders, that I thought about coming up with an app that would help you discover and track your favourite ciders. The app remains a WIP, yet I fell in love with the mascot.
