If you're into raw, authentic music that pushes boundaries, AWARE is the band you need to hear.
The band released their first EP “Taking Back What’s Mine” in Spring 2025. As the bassist for the band, I am additionally involved in the creative process in multiple ways, from solidifying the band’s identity, creating the event posters and posting online content, designing and updating our website, merchandise design, and formulating the EP packaging and single artwork. This EP project applies all techniques learned in past design classes towards a personal project that emphasizes the emotionally charged mood of the songs featured and the theme of the band who craves redemption and to be heard. Ratio, grids, scale, and craft are used to create a double sided foldable booklet that unravels into a poster and lyric sheet, as well as a back cover and spine that perfectly fits the casing of a cd. My involvement emphasizes how I lead in the creative direction to promote my bands shows and help reach specific audiences through my passion through art and music.

Our first music video for our second single Taco Truck Burrito was written, directed, and edited by me, and I used this video as an opportunity to introduce our band as the goofy and authentic musicians that we are to allow audiences to feel a sense of familiarity and comfortability while watching.
I manage and update the website to inform fans of our upcoming shows and newest content to continue to keep them engaged. I keep track and manage our inventory on merchandise to have ready to sell at shows.
