HOMESTEAD NETWORK

a refuge for starving artists

A small artist management outfit that handles the parts musicians don't want to: the pitch decks, the press kits, the DMs to booking agents. We gave them a digital presence sharp enough to open doors. One that gets their roster real gigs and real sponsors, on top of new followers.

GOLDEN HOUR

held breath, held light

A 96-page photo book and accompanying microsite for a Tokyo-based photographer. Editorial layout, warm-graded throughout, and a Caveat-italic caption beneath every plate that reads more like a journal entry than a credit line.

SLOWBURN
COFFEE

no rush

A two-location roastery in Portland that refuses to call itself "third-wave." Identity built around the actual time it takes — six minutes for a pourover, six weeks for a roast to settle. The packaging is mustard and ink. The menu is a single typed sheet.

ALMA
PERFUMERIE

Three perfumes, three stories — Dusk, Tideline, Late August — written first as 200-word prose poems, then translated into bottles, copy, and a Shopify storefront that reads more like a slim novel than a checkout flow.
