Award Winning Poster Design
Impact. That's what this large poster was designed to create. From a distance it is read as a giant foot and because it is made up tiny fragraments it beckons the viewer to move closer to seek out the details.
The Deconstructivist style - popularized by graphic designer, David Carson, was the perfect way to show the various ways we all contribute to the destruction of our world. The fragmentation of type, colors, and imagery represents each of the ways we consciously and unconsciously affect the environment around us.
Odyssey Oil & Vinegar Packaging
2009 ADCD Award Winner
Selected in the 2009 Art Directors Club of Denver Student Show for best concept in packaging design.
Great taste is like a long journey at sea. The helm (steering wheel) and anchor are two vital elements of a ship. They also describe the great taste of Odyssey vinegar and olive oils. The helm steers you to rich balsamic vinegar flavor, while the anchor holds the rich tastes of pure extra virgin olive oil. Each bottle takes you on a journey of discovery bringing out the rich flavors in your food.
The bottom of the labels are cut out to reveal a helm on the vinegar bottle and an anchor on the olive oil bottle. The wave shape above echoes the ship theme. The Odyssey logo, at the top, combines an anchor and helm. The rope-like bottle cap completes the overall ship theme.

Lawyer Logo Design
Logo Design and Branding
The word adroit means clever or skillful in the use of hands or mind. In this branding of a Denver, Colorado lawyer office, I chose to emphasize the skillful use of both mind and hands with a sword that transitioned into a pen. This idea also rings true of the pen is mightier than the sword. Finally the letter 'A' was disguised within the sword and pen to further emphasize the name Adroit Advocates.
NIFA Logo Design
Logo Design and Branding
NIFA's previous logo was dated and difficult to use with the rounded border surrounding the type. This new minimal logo design launches the organization forward with an emphasis on healthcare. The letter "N" is prominently featured within the most recognized symbol of healthcare, the cross. Finally, the blue color was slightly adjusted and given an accent blue color to make this logo pop.
Type Animation Video
This award winning typographic animation is based upon the book Love You Forever by Robert Munsch and animated to the song When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek.

Moody's Restaurant Logo
Moody's American Grill is a restaurant in downtown Greeley, Colorado. Come check it out! 801 9th St, Greeley, CO.
The logo needed a style reminscent of the 1920-1930's era but modern and classic enough to be relevant today. The owner took the name Moody's from an old photograph from a Moody's dry goods mercantile shop in downtown Greeley.
I chose to do a hand drawn typographic logo in order to give the name some character and retain a classic style. Lots of different sketches and letter shapes later, we arrive at this beautiful logo.
Because the logo is hand drawn it has some very unique qualities and looks very inviting, especially at a large size. This well thought out typographic logo was all that was needed to showcase this classic and charming restaurant.

Book Cover Design
I was hired by Special-Learning to create book covers for a series of books about autism.
I was tasked to keep with their same aesthetic but was asked to create something eye-catching. In order to do this I had to research autism and understand the audience (parents of children with autism) and work to create a book cover that would appeal to them.
Parents who just learn that their child has autism undergo a series of emotions. The design of this book cover needed to feature a spirit of calmness, as well as grab the reader's attention quickly and encourage them to purchase the book to learn more about autism spectrum disorder.
Book Cover Design
Applied Behavior Analysis. Autism is often described as being behind a veil. In this book cover that veil is shown through the multiple colored blocks but these blocks don't have to limit a child with autism. Through ABA, certain behavior can be achieved.
Book Cover Design
There are five categories for the successful diagnoses of autism. This book gives an overview of all five categories and the cover needed to showcase them in a manner that was not foreboding but instead would install a sense of calmness to the audience.

A resource imaging company contracted my design services to create a corporate identity logo for their startup company. Waveseis was formed from the words seismic and waves. It was this emphasis of the underground seismic waves and the capital 'W' that became the core ideas for this logo.

Realtor Logo Design
Logo Design and Rebranding
I teamed up with a realtor to design and market her services in the city of Arvada, Colorado (within the Denver Metro area).
This realtor logo, unlike a typical head shot, will help her services stand out among the competition. The eye catching color makes her more immediately visible in the realtor section of the newspaper. Furthermore, the water tower graphic communicates a familiarity with the city of Arvada. I'm very excited to see how this logo increases her client numbers in the coming year.
Arvada, Colorado is part of the Denver metro area facing the Rocky Mountains. The city is known for an old water tower that has become the center of historic olde downtown.
I chose to emulate the offset printing style in order to hint at the history and heritage of the city while using bright colors and clean type to infuse a modern flair. My client thought it was important to bring together the old and new when representing the city because she knows that is the essence of its charm.
Technology Brand Identity Design

Suicide Prevention Poster
The concept is based on the fact that animals do not commit suicide, so why would you? This large 24"x36" poster is meant to draw in viewers from a distance with its large expanse of negative space and stark black color. The horse imagery and type provide some humor but the message is still strong and very memorable.

Logo Design
For the Unique Clothing Brand design, I experimented with emphasizing elements that are unique. The letter 'Q' itself is rather unusual and therefore gets the special treatment and color.
