Logos
Compati
This logo is a personal favorite of mine and holds a special place in my heart. Compati—derived from the Latin compati, meaning ‘to suffer with’ and the root of compassion—is a nonprofit organization I founded around the idea of ‘creating spaces for healing.’ It began as a way to give back to a hospital that cared for me exceptionally well. After recognizing the need for a better reading area on one of its units, I began collecting books and creating a small patient library. That first project has since led to requests for two additional reading spaces, expanding the original idea into an ongoing mission.
For the logo, I wanted something warm, approachable, and immediately human. The heart incorporated into the wordmark represents compassion without making the identity feel overly sentimental, while the bold typography and simple color palette give the organization a contemporary, recognizable presence.
Bldg 4
This is the original Bldg 4 logo, built around the silhouette of a pigeon—a familiar presence in Harlem, where the brand’s ‘Building 4’ reference originated. I wanted the mark to feel simple, urban, and immediately recognizable, while still retaining a slightly mysterious quality. Its stripped-down form and unexpected subject have always made it one of my favorite logos
Toy Society
This is one of several logos I developed for Toy Society, a streetwear brand I collaborated on with a friend. This version remains one of my favorites because it balances a playful personality with substantial visual weight and movement. The bold letterforms, dimensional shadow, and flowing banner give the mark energy without sacrificing its presence.
Montage 3
Designed for a graphic design firm, Montage 3 combines refined typography with a restrained corporate aesthetic. The red dimensional element introduces just enough color and visual energy to keep the identity sleek rather than conventional.
MBC
I designed this identity for the Virginia Beach Minority Business Council nearly a decade ago. The shield form, dimensional typography, and blue-and-green palette were created to give the organization a strong, professional, and distinctive presence. Seeing the logo remain in active use years later is something I’m particularly proud of.
AAPAC
I designed this identity for the Virginia Beach African American Political Action Council (AAPAC). One of my favorite aspects of the mark is the balance between its sleek, dimensional appearance and its traditional red, white, and blue palette. The combination gives it a contemporary presence while retaining the authority and civic character appropriate to the organization.
