INKD

*Work in Progress*

Welcome to INKD. Finally, an app made for tattoo artist AND tattoo lovers. Our mission is to create a platform that allows tattoo artists to promote their work to a wide range of audiences, that gives the resources and inspiration to tattoo lovers to find their next design or artist, and to make the tattoo industry more open, accessible, and available for everyone, no matter their experience, level, or position.

As a cofounder, I have been responsible with the coding, wire-framing, and prototyping of the iOS application and (coming soon) web app. The app contains some features that set us apart from other platform available, including not only our AI tattoo generation capabilities, but our “Local” feature to best aid any user with finding their next tattoo artist in their area (whether at home or when traveling!). This project requires my skill and understanding of Swift coding and digital product realization, as well as need finding, visual prototyping, and proper research to keep the app grounded to our mission.

Although INKD is not currently available on the App Store or Android, it is in progress, and the INKD team is working to create the best possible platform, containing all your needs to find your next tattoo, a possible artist, or your future client.

“Vinnie Hager” Rugs

Worked in collaboration with Timothy Prieto and Nathalie Beatty to design the rug and wall pieces for the 8th Floor Lounges of the to-be-built Allied Apartments in Harbor Point, Baltimore, Maryland.

The doodle-like design is heavily influenced by the artist Vinnie Hager, and the color selection is to match the variety of apartment color themes.

How it’s made

All renderings were created in AutoCAD, including the 28’ x 18’ design for the floor rug, and the 18’ x 14’ design for the wall-mounted decoration piece. Below is a sample of the rug, manufactured by Kebabian’s Rugs.

The Periphery Podcast

Was commissioned to create the logo and cover art rebrand by The Periphery Podcast, who at the time of the task was a top 200 podcast in the country, and a forefront podcast in the law and financial genre.

The logo (above) represents the podcast’s goal of being the middle-man between two sides of a story, bringing them together through the form of listener and speaker.

The primary cover art (left) demonstrates the podcast’s intention of bringing the news to the people, which is commonly associated with the invention of the radio.
