The New York based ad agency Jones Knowles Ritchie, reached out to me to do some custom illustrations for their client Stella Artois. Every year Stella Artois teams up with Water.org with the goal of ending the global water crisis. Each year they would pick 3 countries around the world that are facing water shortage and have an artist from each of those countries create custom artwork for the Chalice's that will represent that nation for that year. 1 Chalice sold equals 5 years of clean water. I was selected to do artwork for Tanzania's Chalice for the year 2018. Unfortunately, things fell through at the last stage and they had to pull the plug.

While working at B Company Design, Coppinwood asked us to design an entire brand system for a high-end golf course that was still under construction. The challenge was to communicate articulately to top-tier potential members the unrealized ultimate golf experience. We also needed to highlight that this particular course was designed by the award-winning Tom Fazio. He was the architect of this and more than 125 courses that have won countless awards, including an unprecedented one-year sweep of Best New Public, Private, and Resort Course in Golf Digest's rankings.

The poster was then hand signed by the King himself and donated to the volunteers of that tournament.

While working at the Ministry of the Attorney General I was asked to help put together the following research report done in conjunction with the Winkler Institute.

The goal was to turn a very important document into something that is memorable and worthy of holding onto. This being one of the first important pieces that was going to be handed out to other branches and ministries... It ended up being a great opportunity to start setting the tone for brand consistency for the Innovation Office. Custom illustrated icons really helped bring it to life and focus in on key messages.

While working as an Art Director at ZK McCann Advertising, Tanzania, I was asked to put together a "welcome" billboard for Celtel. The billboard was located right in front as you drove out of the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Tanzania, East Africa. Followed by another one at the Kilimanjaro International Airport. The lack of resources and specific talent was one challenge, but the entire project was due in 2 days. We were starting from scratch and it was after 5pm when they came to me with the brief. We had to find & hire models, I had to photograph, edit and put together the entire project. Working in Tanzania at that time was probably one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. The saying "there's no hurry in Africa" definitely did not apply on this project.
