Podcasts

Fintech. Finance. Comedy. Three very different brands, three very different styles, and shaped to fit. I thrive on adapting my design instincts to whatever a brand needs, from bold and buttoned-up to loose and playful.

Investing with IBD Podcast

Cover Art & Brand Design

I designed the cover art for Investing with IBD, Investor's Business Daily's podcast covering market trends, stock analysis, and investing strategy. My goal was to create a striking, simple cover that reflected IBD's brand standards and sharp focus on the stock market.

The design leans into a clean, brand-focused aesthetic — sharp typography, a disciplined color palette, and clear visual hierarchy — staying true to IBD's established identity as a Dow Jones Company. The result is a cover that feels instantly recognizable to IBD's audience while holding its own across podcast platforms.

Investing with IBD is a podcast from Investor's Business Daily, a Dow Jones Company. The weekly podcast is for investors who want to sharpen their trading skills, learn how to make more money and take control over their investment success.

Deal Ranch Podcast

Cover Art & Brand Design

I designed the cover art and visual identity for The Deal Ranch Podcast, an in-person, bi-weekly podcast series hosted by Matt Lutz, Managing Principal of MRL Capital.

The goal was to elevate the brand's aesthetic with a modern, clean look and feel — one that felt polished and trustworthy, showcasing the guests on the show while standing out in a crowded podcast landscape.

Deal Ranch Podcast dives deep into commercial real estate, finance, and macroeconomics through conversations with top-tier founders and C-suite executives. It covers capital structuring and risk, major megaprojects, and the stories behind industry leaders

Dix in your Life

Cover Art & Brand Design

I designed the cover art for Dix in Your Life, a comedy interview podcast hosted by two friends recording out of their garage. The show features casual, off-the-cuff conversations, ranging from sports to local grievances like LA pizza! released in a semi-monthly format.

My goal was to capture the show's laid-back, irreverent energy through the cover art: something fun and a little scrappy that felt true to two friends just riffing in a garage. The flame graphic adds a bold, punchy focal point, giving the brand a bit of edge and personality without taking itself too seriously.
