One of my first jobs was an internship at Atlantic Records. This is where I developed design and production skills. I learned how to make proper mechanicals and check my work twice, sometimes five times. I worked with talented people who had a love for packaging & music. I worked on lots of projects including many CD packages and vinyl picture discs for The Donna's & Billy Talent. Here is where I met Tori Amos, Fat Joe, Lil' Kim, Jewel and many more.
After my internship I was hired as a freelancer & I worked on more album packaging and developed solid relationships with bands like Will Hoge that gave me my first freelance project on the side. I designed concert merch (not pictured) and got to know some nice people.
Below are several examples of CD packaging including Atlantic Records, VH1, Jonah Smith, CPR and more.
