Client: Curiosity Coffee (Columbia, SC)
Creative Project Detail: Create an indoor mural for the coffee shop Curiosity Coffee.
The owner’s of this staple coffee shop in Columbia, SC wanted to represent a few things with this project. The Puerto Rican heritage of one of the owners, the Latin American coffee that they sell and offer in their shop, as well as small touches like their love of the New York Knicks, the idea of the journey their clients take with their products and business, as well the two illustrated characters that are symbolic of the couple that own the shop. Colorful, playful, focused on heritage and roots, and a narrative with hints throughout, this fun project achieved the goal that the business owners were hoping for, while also adding culture to the city with the varied representation throughout.
Client: The Lady Apartments (Columbia, SC)
Creative Project Detail: Create a multi-wall, interior mural, connecting a study space/gym/event space for residents of the apartments.
This unique apartment complex had a blank space that connected various parts of the living and work space, and the client wanted to inject life and color into the common area. Focusing on the name of the apartments, “The Lady”, as well as the rich tapestry of historic women of Columbia, SC, which the owners of the apartment focused on, as well as symbols to represent character strengths of those women, this colorful story-telling mural did just that. It brought to life the once bare space into a vibrant piece of art that is unique to the residents.
Client: Capstone House Residence Hall (University of South Carolina)
Creative Project Detail: Create a mural for a game room within Capstone House at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC.
I was tasked with branding the game room space for students living in Capstone House. The client wanted playful, energetic movement depicted, while still leaning into the branding of the university at the time. Using the brand elements I was able to inject life into a space where students relax, enjoy games, socialize and take the occasional selfie.
