Additional Work Samples

Being someone who is passionate about driving positive social change, I’m constantly looking for oppotunities to volunteer my time and skills to various causes. Below are a selection of works I’ve made to educate and ideally inspire action, along with informational resources for you to check out and places to donate.

Spotify Covers

Since 2019, I’ve been regularly curating playlists and, before quarantine, I would spend hours searching through Instagram and Pinterest for the perfect cover image. Nowadays, I’ve been designing covers myself! Here’s a selection of a few of my favorites:

Check out the featured playlists:
↗ “6. take care of yourselves”
↗ “the middle of the lake”
↗ “twenty-three in quarantine”
↗ “8. get ya steps in”




IMakeTackyThings

Designed for Y2K-inspired resin accessory and home brand, IMakeTackyThings, I crafted a visual identity that utilizes a retro-futurism aesthetic with smooth gradients, chrome lettering, and early-2000s-esque fonts. These elements in combination with soft pastels and feminine icons nod to the shop’s uniquely nostalgic and sparkly product line.

2am Vnlla

In 2019, I designed a few album covers for 2am Vnlla. Check out “Boxer” on Spotify to see which one Ruben ultimately went with!



Oil + Watercolor Painting

In my motivated free time, I love to return to the artform that first captured my lil’ creative heart: painting. Here are a few of my favorite, humble creations :’)
