Developed the logo for Mayor Good Boy, working from an initial concept created by artist Jess Smart Smiley and collaborating with writer Dave Scheidt to refine the visual identity of the book. I focused on evolving the letterforms, improving readability, and creating a logo that captured the playful personality of the story while feeling distinct and approachable.

The final design went through multiple revisions to ensure the identity matched the tone of the book and connected with its intended audience. The result was a flexible title treatment that balanced character, clarity, and visual appeal.

Created the logo and title treatment for Wrapped Up, a graphic novel about a teenage mummy navigating the challenges of high school and fitting in. The design challenge was balancing the spooky elements of the premise with the book’s playful humor and coming-of-age personality.

I developed a hand-drawn title treatment inspired by notebook doodles and teenage self-expression, combining oversized, rounded letterforms with mummy-inspired wrapping details. The final logo created a playful identity that captured the book’s mix of supernatural adventure, awkward humor, and youthful energy.
