While based in Santa Monica, CA, working as a designer, illustrator, and animator, I had the exciting opportunity to contribute to some groundbreaking projects. These included the inaugural series of Google Doodles and leading web animations in Shockwave and Flash for Sham Multimedia, where I served as Creative and Animation Director. These projects gave me a great deal of exposure, bringing my work to the attention of Jeffré Phillips and his Beverly Hills-based production company, Ja-Tail Enterprises, LLC.
Recognizing the distinctiveness of my creative style, Jeffré invited me to oversee the creative direction for all aspects of La Toya Jackson’s branding. This role encompassed everything from her personal design needs to visuals for her singles, albums, and promotional materials.
At Ja-Tail Enterprises, I was responsible for creating a variety of designs for La Toya and the company, including album covers, tray inlays, and insert booklets. Each piece was crafted to reflect La Toya’s unique brand and musical style, and the collaborative process was key to ensuring the designs aligned with her vision at every stage—from concept to completion.
A particularly rewarding aspect of this collaboration was La Toya’s love for detailed, hand-drawn crest designs. I created these intricate pieces by hand before refining them into versatile vector art using Adobe Illustrator, allowing for their seamless use across a wide range of marketing materials.
The gallery below showcases some of the artwork created for La Toya, each piece highlighting the attention to detail and dedication involved. Working with La Toya and the talented team at Ja-Tail Enterprises was a truly fulfilling experience, and one that allowed me to explore a wide array of creative possibilities.
