In late 2024, Casino Trell reached out to me asking to join the creative team behind his debut album Nowhere To Run. This project delves deep into the mental state of the Chicago rapper, showcasing his raw lyricism and gritty bars. Yet, beyond the street-hardened narratives, Trell softens the edges with a selection of R&B-infused tracks that explore themes of love and vulnerability.

For this project, I handled all of the project’s press photography, as well as the photography and design for the official cover art and tracklist. I also designed title card for each of the visualizers that were created for the rollout, directed by Mark Walters and Director Zell.

Beyond the visualizer & photo work, I also led the design and packaging for the vinyl formats of the project. To top it off, I also created some clothing pieces for the rollout as well that Casino sold along with the release of the project.

This project was one that took a lot of collaboration, time, and patience, but it was entirely worth it for the end result - tying together music, merch, design, and storytelling into one cohesive body of work for Casino Trell.
