SELECTED WORKS

Grindr Shop

(2025)

The Grindr Shop relaunch extends the brand into physical spaces, reframing ‘the closet’ through curated design and marketing as a tangible form of queer identity, expression, and pride.

“Designed to turn heads. Made to be taken off.”

STRATA

(2O24)

“STRATA bridges the cultural gap between music and fashion, enabling artists to do so as well. The brand, built on understated basics and uncompromising craftsmanship, establishes trust among artists and industry leaders.”

Grindr Unwrapped

(2024)

“Grindr Unwrapped 2024 is a look into how you connected, kinked, and crowned your queens this year. We surveyed over 10,000 of you on the moments that defined 2024. From the gay gasp heard around the world to the babygirl who had you in a chokehold—we saw it all.”

Tiny Zaps

(2024)

Working with artists of all mediums from all over the world, Tiny Zaps offers a library of 1,000+ designs with a team of licensed artists with the goal of making tattoos accessible and easy.

I Miss Having My Eating Disorder

(2024)

“It’s a sick way of thinking because that’s what an eating disorder is — a sickness. There’s no cure for it nor will there ever be.

I made this as a result of the countless thoughts I had while being back in the same environment that started it all: my childhood bedroom.”

Grindr Blog

(2024 — Ongoing)

Grindr's blog is a space for Grindr users to connect around sex, dating, and everything else happening on and off the apps.

TWLA

(2O24)

TWLA is an in person and on-demand workout class that was built with one goal in mind: “Creating a space for those that want to shamelessly feel and be in their bodies, no matter their mood.”

Le Sol

(2024)

Le Sol is a Dallas-based hospitality and members club fostering holistic well-being through community, art, wellness, creativity, and travel—offering curated events, member houses, and group journeys.
