multidisciplinary visual artist focused on themes of place and identity expressed with fine art and digital mediums
Last year, friends of mine got married in a music festival ceremony, which was aptly titled, Festimony - A Celebration of Love + Music. Being professional musicians, they were able to pull out all of the stops to put on a righteous show at their bandmate’s property in Central Washington. It was my honor to collaborate with the bride and groom to produce their invitation suite and print collateral, including an event flyer, postcards, and perforated tickets.
The overlapping hearts are a simple motif to add color, texture, and movement against bold typography.

AromaPendant
During my time at All Natural Botanicals, I worked closely with the company president to design new and innovative home and personal fragrance products. I spent most of my creative energy developing the AromaPendant, which features of a ceramic disk tucked inside a leather pocket. Essential oil is applied to the ceramic, locking in fragrance for hours. I created the prototype for this product. My original drawings were used to create the center motif images of the unglazed ceramic disk. I also had a hand in choosing the pendant pocket colors and other materials. I created the prototypes for the jewelry designs as well.
I also helped engineer the die-cuts and created all of the graphics for the product packaging (this includes hanging packs, pillow packs, and gift boxes, and product display options). I was responsible for the layout, design and photography for the catalogs, posters, promotional materials, and website. I also developed HTML / CSS of the website and digital marketing for this product.
SUGAR brand cosmetics represents all of the whimsy and originality of a SUGAR girl. The following images are snippets from the created the award winning style guide that I created featuring a hand constructed make-up palette prototype.
