Trella Uptown Leasing Office Mural | Charlotte, NC

I recently partnered with Trella Uptown to create a custom mural for their leasing office and parking garage entrance in Uptown Charlotte.

The goal was simple: create an immediate sense of arrival. Using large-scale typography, North Carolina-inspired imagery, and Trella's brand colors, I designed a mural that transforms an otherwise utilitarian space into a welcoming visual landmark for residents and visitors.

The piece features a hand-lettered "Welcome to Trella" message alongside state-inspired graphics, dogwood flowers, and vintage sign-painting influences. I wanted the mural to feel optimistic, approachable, and distinctly Carolinian while remaining connected to the property's visual identity.

Projects like this are a reminder that great placemaking doesn't have to happen in a lobby. Sometimes the first impression of a property happens in a parking garage, and thoughtful design can completely change that experience.

Huntington Bank South End Mural | Charlotte, NC

I recently partnered with Huntington Bank to create a custom mural for their first Charlotte location in South End.

The goal was to create something that felt authentic to both the brand and the neighborhood. I leaned heavily into Huntington's signature green palette, building a tonal composition that integrated seamlessly with my illustration style while remaining unmistakably connected to the bank's visual identity.

The mural combines bold typography, hand-drawn illustrations, and Charlotte-inspired imagery to create a welcoming focal point for customers and visitors. Elements throughout the piece reference themes of growth, community, and local character while helping establish a strong visual presence within the space.

One of my favorite aspects of this project was finding the balance between brand integration and artistic expression. Rather than simply applying corporate colors, I used them as a foundation to build a mural that feels unique to this location and reflective of South End's creative energy.

Thank you to Huntington Bank for trusting me with this project and for supporting public art in Charlotte.
