GHava has produced a body of work that runs from the art direction and design of Crispin Porter + Bogusky's new book, HOOPLA, and advertising campaigns for Triple Five Soul to projects for NOKIA, Coca-Cola and Adidas. They created the initial corporate identity for Gwen Stefani's mega-label, L.A.M.B, and created the cover art for Prefuse 73's "Surrounded By Silence," which was included in The Greatest Album Covers of All Time (Scott, Grant, Barry Miles, and Johnny Morgan. New York, NY: Collins & Brown, 2005). Their fearless aesthetic and multidisciplinary approach to design resulted in GHava being cited as one of 23 "groundbreaking studios and individuals" in Infiltrate: The Front Lines of The New York Design Scene (Gelman, Alexander, Nic Musolino, Helen Walters. New York, NY: Ginko Press, 2004).
