Aloha, I'm Charlie.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer at the intersection of brand, visual, and graphic design — with a sprinkle of AI. I craft bold identities, campaigns, and digital experiences that are useful, experimental, and unforgettable.

Indianapolis, IN

The light at the end of winter is different here.

Late March in Indianapolis, the afternoon light has a quality to it that doesn't last long — golden, almost horizontal, cutting through the bare trees before daylight saving kicks everything off schedule. Worth stopping for. Worth documenting.

The architecture here is still the best argument for cities.

Chicago does something to you when you look up. Every block has a different conversation happening above eye level — ornamental iron, exposed concrete, glass curtain walls — all arguing about what a building should be. I find myself squinting at cornices again.

Fog as design — the city disappears and reappears all day.

Came back to San Francisco for a week. The fog moves like it has opinions. The Asian Art Museum project started here — something about the city's layering of cultures and light keeps pulling me back to think about that work differently. The coffee is still better than Indianapolis.

Studio hours and the particular quiet of late-night type work.

There is a specific mode that happens after midnight in the studio — the decision-making gets sharper and the self-editing quiets down. This is where the Terminus identity was locked in. The monogram went through 47 iterations before the 48th felt inevitable. That's just how it goes.

Three days in Manhattan — museums, bookshops, and too much espresso.

MOMA's permanent collection rewrites itself every time you come back. The Arshile Gorky. The Matisse cut-outs. The way the building handles light on the fourth floor in summer. New York for three days is the right amount — enough to fill up, not enough to get tired of the noise.
