Live Experience & Event Design
Designed for real spaces and unforgettable moments.
Great live design isn’t just about making things look good: it’s about making people feel something, instantly and all around them. From arena stages and festival streets to corporate galas and LED-driven spectacles, I’ve built visual experiences that live beyond the screen. Every element, from branded motion loops to print signage, was designed to shape an environment and elevate a story in real time.
This section features some of the work I’m proudest of—identity and visual systems created for nationally recognized events like AEW’s pay-per-views, IAAPA’s general session, NASA’s Holidays in Space, NGLCC’s National Dinner, and Come Out With Pride Orlando. These weren’t just deliverables. They were living, breathing experiences seen by thousands.
If you want a designer who understands how to make a brand felt in a room, not just seen on a slide—this is what I do.
All Elite Wrestling
Branding. BROADCAST LIVE EVENT production.
Designing event brands for All Elite Wrestling meant creating visuals built for maximum impact—on screens, in arenas, and across every social platform. Fight for the Fallen is one example of how we developed a full identity around a single event, blending tone, theme, and energy into a system that fans would instantly recognize. Every event had to feel iconic from the very first glance.
Another of note is AEW Revolution, which was a rebrand, and my first time designing a logo for a full pay-per-view event.
Lastly is the brand and promotional campaign for Maximum Carnage, a special event for AEW.
IAAPA Expo
SET DESIGN. GRAPHIC CONCEPT ART.
The next few pieces are stage design concepts developed for the IAAPA Expo, the global conference for the attractions and themed entertainment industry. These concepts were created to bring structure, energy, and visual impact to one of the expo’s most high-profile moments—the general session. One of the designs shown here was selected as the final direction for the event.
NASA: Kennedy Space Center's Holidays In Space Experience
GRAPHIC DESIGN. BRAND CREATION. EXPERIENCE STORYBOARD.

PRINT Design. EVENT BRANDING. LARGE-FORMAT LED MARQUEE.

Come Out With Pride Orlando
GRAPHIC DESIGN. EXPERIENCE CREATION.
During my time as Creative Director for Come Out with Pride Orlando, I had the opportunity to hand-design-and-assemble their brand and parade float over the last two years. Below, you will find the 2022 brand "A Place for Us", along with my design for the parade float.

The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce
Graphic Design. ART DIRECTION. ANIMATION. Live event design.
I'm so proud of the work I've done with the NGLCC and their work for equality in America. Below, you'll find the various show looks I've designed for NGLCC's 2018 2018 National Dinner, as well as their 2018/2019 Expos:

So how about it?
Let's start creating.
Whether it’s a city-wide celebration, a packed arena, or a global stage, I design experiences that make people feel something the moment they walk in. Every element—motion, signage, staging, identity—works together to create a world audiences can step into. If you’re looking for work that moves beyond the screen and into real space, I’d love to help bring it to life.
