I've always been into the branding side of things since I started my first band in middle school. I would make all of the album artwork by hand. For my first 'record release' (on casette tape, oh yeah) I even carved my own custom stamp with the band's name on it, "Red Snow" (Yes, my first band was called Red Snow) and stamped each tape myself, it looked pretty rad! So, it's only natural that I've continued down this path, only now I do this professionally for bands all over the world and since I'm an artist myself, and around musicians all the time, I think it helps give me insight and perspective when working with other artists.
I formed Nominee Design Studio in 2010 to do creative projects for bands. We primarily focus on print (album art, posters, one sheets, handouts, etc) and online (web development social media and email campaigns). We also offer top shelf photography and video production services.
Clients include internationally known band, Radiohead, multi-platinum selling group, Toad The Wet Sprocket (made famous by songs such as 'All I Want' and 'Walk on the Ocean'), up and coming indie folk band, Dawes (I highly recommend listening to their song 'When My Time Comes' if you haven't heard it), Oklahoma City native, Graham Colton (had a hit with his song 'Best Days' and now out with a great new record, 'Pacific Coast Eyes'), legendary British bands like The Fixx (remember their hit song 'One Thing Leads to Another'?) and The Pyschedelic Furs, American Idol 'Top 5' contestant, Matt Giraud (my personal favorite from that season), as well as ATO Records (co-founded by Dave Matthews) and Red Light Management.
