Fred Ortiz Collection2019 — 2023
From coffee table book to museum exhibition. This 66-page book is a narrative of Fred Ortiz’s relationship with the late Chicano artist Emigdio Vasquez. For 4 years we met and orchestrated Fred’s original art collection, memories, and memorabilia to craft their story. The final book caught the attention of Mark Hilbert and this collection of work earned an exhibit, almost verbatim, in the new wing of the Hilbert Museum of California Art in February 2024.

Cystinosis Research FoundationThis complete magazine overhaul started in 2015. It included a new masthead, which became the Foundation’s logo, and a reorganization to the flow of the interior pages. 17 issues later, this 80-page semi-annual publication has become an important resource for all affected by the rare disease, cystinosis. It’s a place for the global cystinosis community to connect, where researchers share their progress, families tell their stories, and donors come to support it all. [see more]
