“90’s style basketball trading cards.” (2017)

Magic & Bird was the first project where I really got to flex both creative direction and design, and trading cards immediately felt like the perfect merch format for its 90s NBA identity. As a former card-collecting kid, it tapped directly into my nostalgia while still feeling fresh in 2017. Shot entirely on film, we recreated classic basketball poses and obsessively replicated era-authentic details in wardrobe, lighting, and layout.

On the back of each card, we wrote playful, romanticized stats that matched the tongue-in-cheek tone of old school trading cards. Concept, creative direction, and design by me, photography by Ray “Neutron” Spears, wardrobe styling by Zeek Elliott, and card design by Jacob Henley and Alex Lopez, a small team creating something that feels less like merch and more like a collectible from a parallel universe.

“A disposable camera designed from scratch.” (2019)

In 2019, Andy had the idea of selling a custom disposable camera as tour merch, and instead of a generic pattern wrap, we created an entirely fictional camera brand, the AndyCam GPFX3000. We pulled inspiration from classic Fujifilm and Kodak designs, and even incorporated visual elements from a Russian metro card to make it feel like a real consumer product. When I submitted the design, I told the manufacturer that graphic design wasn’t my main thing, and their reply (“the art is truly amazing”) was a huge confidence boost.

This project became a turning point for me, marking the moment I started seeing myself as a capable designer. Concept, creative direction, and design by me, with illustration by Sam Veatch, a simple merch idea that helped reshape my creative identity.

“Several merch and promo items.” (2021-2024)

A selection of merchandise and promotional materials, including apparel, posters, tour credentials, and branded objects. Together, these items offer a glimpse into how artists, organizations, and cultural movements extend their identity beyond the work itself, using everyday objects to build community, visibility, and connection.
