Graphic Design

My design style is simple, yet bold, with the goal always being to say more by offering less.
Beyond designing apparel, print & promotional material in-house for Coast Projects, I also collaborate with clients ranging from small businesses & local artists to large hotel groups & international touring bands.

Photography

I shoot a mix of street & documentary style photography.
Once in a while I’ll try a portrait.
My goal is to simply highlight & record the beauty surrounding me — a classic car, a child laughing, or the rawness of urban decay.

On Lock.

Taken in the spring of 2020 in the midst of Key West quarantine — on the busiest section of Duval Street.
During these few months, the open streets & lack of traffic gave Kristian plenty of time & space to get his kickflip “on lock” — during lockdown.

Music

Rayland-Baxter-Key-West.jpeg

A big part of my work over the past decade has been producing & promoting some of the most storied concerts in Key West history.
My focus & energy is always directed toward making the shows more memorable than an average theater concert — with everyone from the artists to the audience walking away with a feeling that they were part of something special.

Coast Is Clear Festival

In the months following the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys, during the fall of 2017, I — along with a host of my musical friends — launched the first annual Coast Is Clear Festival aimed at benefitting local folks in need.
Each year since — with the exception of 2020 — I’ve produced & promoted the festival on the first weekend of December as a way to signify & celebrate the official end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season.
