Blood Brother is a documentary film about Rocky Braat, a young man from a fractured family and a troubled past, who went traveling through India without a plan. There he met a group of HIV positive children living in an orphanage -- a meeting that changed everything for him. Rocky left his life, friends, and career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to live with the kids.


Having attended college with the producers and Rocky himself, I was tasked with creating the project’s visual identity and design language. I created a logo that pays homage to Indian culture, textured graphic elements, and, finally, a style-guide that utilizes a distressed, India-inspired color palette.


The film received both the Audience Choice Award
and Best U.S. Documentary film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
