FOAM BREWERS
TAPS ACROSS THE WORLD
Tap Handles, Posters, Beer Can
Nestled on the Burlington, VT waterfront, Foam Brewers has been at the forefront of Vermont’s craft beer explosion for nearly a decade. From humble beginnings, Foam has grown to have taps pouring across New England.
They approached me to design a tap handle that would stand out behind the bar while embodying their ethos, one that celebrates music, art, and experimentation.
Foam wanted something black and white, rhythmic, simple yet bold. Inspired by Japanese architectural tiles and woodwork, we even explored ceramic production before realizing it was cost-prohibitive.The final design subtly references stalks of wheat, sound waves, and rhythmic repetition, a form that feels both familiar and unexpected. It is a handle unlike anything else you will find at your local taproom or gastropub.

Music for your Tastebuds
Tap Handles, Posters
Foam’s taproom hosts live music multiple nights a week as part of their mission to support musicians and foster community. They needed a consistent set of posters and digital assets to promote these events across Facebook and Instagram.
My role was to design a visual system that could adapt to frequent shows while remaining cohesive with Foam’s brand identity. I explored new design techniques and focused on creating clear hierarchy and strong typographic treatments that would work both in print and on screen. The result was a suite of posters and digital graphics that not only elevated the presentation of the events but also reinforced Foam’s reputation as a hub for creativity, music, and culture.

DO YOU COMPUTE?
Tap Handles, Posters, Beer Can
Like all Foam beers, Do You Compute takes its name from a song or musical reference. In this case it comes from the math-punk band Drive Like Jehu. The project was a quick-turn can design for a collaboration with North Park Brewing in San Diego.
Foam connected the beer’s identity to the energetic, flaming imagery I had been exploring in my personal tile work, and they felt it would be a natural fit. To reinforce the visual tone and the band’s raw energy, I created handmade jagged lettering that echoed both the imagery and the music. The design captured the intensity of the collaboration while staying true to Foam’s experimental and music-driven ethos.
