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”

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.
Client
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!
