After college, while living in Tampa, FL, I worked at a print shop specializing in vehicle wraps—a role that gave me a unique hands-on look at how design translates onto three-dimensional surfaces. It pushed me to think beyond flat layouts and consider scale, contour, and real-world application. I worked directly with customers throughout the process, which strengthened my one-on-one client communication skills and gave me a deeper appreciation for collaborative problem-solving. Vehicle wraps will always hold a special place in my heart.
Papa Vito’s came into the shop with a trailer and an idea: bringing Italian ice on wheels to one of the hottest states in the country. As someone who grew up in the greater Philadelphia area, water ice was a staple of my childhood—Rita’s on the first day of spring was practically a family holiday. So when this project came through, it immediately felt like the perfect fit.
I set out to create a standout trailer wrap that celebrated both my love for the frozen treat and the playful brand identity the owner envisioned. The result is a bold, colorful design centered around a cheerful mascot that brings the spirit of classic italian ice to a brand-new audience.














Melendez Inspections was the first vehicle wrap I handled entirely on my own. I measured the tailgate, brainstormed concepts with the customer, managed all client communication, designed the full wrap, and oversaw the installation process from start to finish. It was an invaluable experience early in my career, and I was lucky to work with a client who was just as excited and invested in the project as I was. If you’re in the Riverview area and need an inspection, Melendez is your guy!



Stars and Struts was a standout project that pushed my limits as a vehicle wrap designer. The client requested bold lines and intricate detailing—elements that present a challenge even for seasoned designers—but I was more than ready to take it on. Translating those patterns to fit the contours of the van required careful problem-solving and creative adaptation. This project stretched my skills in the best way, and I was genuinely thrilled to bring their vision to life.
