COMPASS

Compass is a design-focused real estate platform centered around bringing real estate agents the best technology and marketing to help grow their business. This collection of work features logos, custom typography, animations and print marketing campaigns I have done for both Compass agents and the Compass brand itself.

CHEMICAL MAKEUP

Branding and promotional animations for Chemical Makeup, a Brooklyn-based event production company that seeks to promote queer voices in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through fundraising events that include art, music and comedy.

MASSMUTUAL BRAND IDENTITY

Tasked with rebranding the more than 170-year-old, $312 billion insurance provider MassMutual to appeal to a more contemporary audience. Also known as the “Blue Chip Company,” I evolved the institution’s previous abstraction of poker chips into a straightforward monogram that is simple and ownable. 

The system also leverages the blue from their slogan as a consistent signature for the brand, coupled with a handful of other bright and exciting colors that bring the identity to life.

MEAT NY

MEAT is an upscale kosher restaurant with a meat-focused menu located in Crown Heights and founded by restaurateur Daniel Branover. Taking inspiration from the food, the MEAT identity consists of monochromatic textures made from meat itself and minimal patterns that reference the tenderizing mallets used to prepare it.

IZO

A parent company to the viral DanceOn network co-founded by Madonna, IZO needed a fun, approachable brand that kept up with the energy of their channel. Taking cues from the characteristics and limitations of stencil typography, the IZO brand system is expressed through vibrant color and a mishmashing of shapes deriven from its custom stencil logotype. 

Tegan and Sara headlined the IZO brand release at The Box, Tribeca NYC.

AERONAUT BREWING CO.

Aeronaut Brewing Co. is a craft brewery and foods hub under one roof. There, the inspired team of brewers and scientists collaborate with New England farmers and food makers to drive the invention of craft beers and spur a renaissance of local victuals and industrial revitalization. Working with a team of three other independent designers, we created a brand that evoked the same feeling of inventiveness and adventure that the space provides, including everything from licensing art to naming and brand voice. Inspired by the Victorian Era and the turn of the 20th century, we told the story of the Aeronaut, a craft beer scientist who traveled the globe in his airship on an adventure to share the world's best beer. Illustration and packaging by Ethan Blouin & Evan Eagan.

BOSTON 2024

The Olympic brand is one of the most extensive and elaborate branding systems in the design space. It is all encompassing; it must be distinct and recognizable, and must function across a wide variety of media.

A bid for the 2024 Boston Olympics brand identity. The identity centered around showcasing the feats of human ability demonstrated in the games, all presented in a manner inspired by Boston's role as a key player in the advancements of technology.
