HEARTS ENTWINED

ALBUM COVER/SET DESIGN

Hearts Entwined is a record released by Earth’s Echo, and the project behind it was one of the most fun and creatively unexpected ones I’ve worked on. Created for the set of a film. The concept was to merge two different vinyl records into one, creating something entirely new from existing material. I was randomly assigned two records from old 1960s Christian rock bands—which, honestly, I thought were surprisingly groovy. It was a wild mix of psychedelic vibes and earnest spiritual energy. I took that as inspiration to blend nostalgic elements with modern design, incorporating original photography, collage techniques, and layered textures to give it a fresh but retro look. The challenge was not just to unify the sound but to create a visual story that felt cohesive and compelling. It was both a design puzzle and a personal experiment in creative fusion, and I had a blast bringing it all together.
