---FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL---
The Found Footage Festival is a celebration of the videos that time forgot, dredged up in dusty thrift stores and estate sales throughout North America. Childhood friends Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (Late Show) take audiences on a guided tour with their critically acclaimed multimedia comedy spectacular.
Working within the FFF universe is to enter a robust aesthetic world that they have crafted over many years. It's a joy to create visual gags and pack our designs with Easter eggs that rise to the level of tastelessness their fans have come to love.
Here's a selection of our work together. May contain nudity.
Found Footage Festival – 20th Anniversary VCR Box Set
To celebrate 20 years of salvaging the weirdest VHS oddities, I designed a collector’s box set that’s as analog as it gets. A replica VCR packed with tapes, merch, and hidden gems from the Found Footage Festival vault.

From conceptual sketches to final packaging design, I aimed to capture the tactile nostalgia of a bygone era, with chunky buttons, faux woodgrain textures, and a lovingly outdated aesthetic. The goal wasn’t just to create a box set, but a physical experience that feels like you’re pulling a treasure straight from a 90s thrift store shelf.

Found Footage Festival — Volume 11: A Promise Kept
— Typography Design & Layout
— Photo Editing & Retouching
— Art Direction for Packaging, Posters & Digital Assets
For Volume 11 of the Found Footage Festival I designed key art inspired by the earnest charm of late 70s gospel pop-rock album covers. The design channels the soft-focus photography, hand-lettered typography, and color palettes that defined the era’s homegrown spiritual records.
By blending vintage visual tropes with the festival’s offbeat sensibility, the artwork creates a nostalgic-yet-ironic homage to a time when every album cover looked like a heartfelt family portrait. This piece serves as both a loving parody and a genuine tribute to the sincere, lo-fi design of a bygone era.

Found Footage Festival –VOL 10
For Volume 10 of the Found Footage Festival, I designed key art that pays homage to the illustrated VHS covers of the late 80s. The artwork features fan drawn caricature illustrations of Nick & Joe, blended with a bold, drive-in movie marquee to capture the retro charm of video store culture and live events. A real popcorn classic.
From exaggerated expressions to refining reader board marquee typography, every detail was crafted to evoke the feeling of discovering a bizarre VHS tape in the dusty corner of a rental shelf. The design celebrates the spirit of FFF while bringing a fresh, collectible energy to the series' landmark tenth installment.
