Le Hangar 23

(2024)


Brand identity, packaging, and product design for Le Hangar 23, a vintage motorcycle workshop in Costa Mesa.


TWO FOLD: Cadet Hat and Pins


The cadet hat is inspired by HBT military caps, redesigned for a better fit and modern style. Additional pins were created based on vintage T-shirt graphics, with custom type and 3D modeling done for the side buttons.


Backstep


Led creative direction and brand identity for Backstep, a clothing brand, including logo design, e-commerce site, branding, and photography.


Cafe Pilgrim


Cafe Pilgrim is a personal brand identity I created for fun. As an avid coffee drinker, I’m always drawn to spaces with strong identities, so I imagined and designed one of my own.


Vanson x TWO FOLD Tattoo Jacket


Blending vintage U.S. Navy tattoos with motorcycle and Americana culture, this leather jacket features ten original graphics. Made in Vanson’s Fall River factory and finished in Los Angeles, it was released exclusively for ComplexCon 2024, where it debuted alongside other TWO FOLD exclusives.


TWO FOLD Tokyo Pop Up


Poster designs and logo variations created for screen-printed applications.


Processing


Used Processing and Illustrator to create a blend of interaction and stillness.
