Album artwork

Featured artist: Sherrie Marginean

Where music meets visual storytelling.

During the 1990s and early 2000s, when CDs were still a major part of the music industry, I designed approximately 25 album covers for musicians and recording artists. Each project was an opportunity to bring music to life visually, combining illustration, typography, photography and creative concepts to capture the artist's identity and the spirit of their music.

The Sherrie Marginean project is one example of that work, featuring original artwork developed across the album cover, CD and accompanying printed materials. Every element was designed to create a cohesive visual experience, from the first impression of the cover to the smallest packaging detail.

Have an album in the works but no artwork to go with it? Whether you're an emerging musician releasing your first recording or an established artist looking for a fresh visual direction, I'd love to help. Let's create something beautiful together — artwork that looks as distinctive as your music sounds.
