CANTERA NEGRA —
KEEP BURNING
Cantera Negra is named after the Tequila Volcano’s black rock that enriches the region’s agave fields. A fantastical brand world was created that paralleled consumer insight and product origin story by reimagining an ever present active version of the region’s volcano. We introduced a brand universe and memorable character unlike anything the tequila category has ever seen.

Rebranding and relaunching work for atheahealth — a billion dollar healthcare technology company that provides data-driven insights and healthcare IT to keep patients healthy and practices profitable.
boston symphony orchestra —
CLASSIC. UNCLASSIFIED.
Founded in 1881, The Boston Symphony Orchestra is largely considered to be one of the Top 10 orchestras in the world. We created a new visual identity for all four of the BSO brands- The BSO, The Boston Pops, Tanglewood and Symphony Hall- with the goal of modernizing the organization and making accessible to a more diverse audience.

Long winded rants about how there is entirely too much traffic in the world and public transportation is neither a cheap nor reliable alternative. Option 1: sitting in stopped traffic and watching the guy in front of you scroll through his Instagram DMs while nearly crashing. Option 2: Take an overpriced train and attempt to sit next to someone who is eating egg salad while laying down horizontally across multiple seats. Your options really aren’t great.
