Whenever I create a logo, I make sure to provide multiple options and style changes to the client based on their needs and color palette. This design in particular is a combination of solid color blocking and texture. I suggested they print this logo on a flat label, possibly adding a glossy finish, to show off the logo’s textural changes and colors.
This version of the client's logo uses solid color blocking for a rich, saturated, on-trend look. My suggestion to the client was to use this version of the logo with a flat white label or a textured label for a more worn/aged look.

I created this shirt design for fun to post on Threadless.com. It combines two design trends that couldn’t have been created on a knit product (for Wigwam): the watercolor brush effect, and the half-floral animal line drawing.
Shot on vacation in Bali, this is a shot of a hand-carved lion. I'm always pushing myself to learn more and broaden my skillset, and this project allowed me to practice editing in black and white. Many black and white images don't show texture or depth, and this image is successful at showing both.
One of my freelance customers is a Diamond Leader at doTERRA, and this is one of the pdfs I made her for the holiday season. This project needed a clean, simple layout with calm, on-brand colors. The proper selection of image and layout design, including fonts, can change whether a customer engages with the handout and for how long. The use of large imagery, shown here, is a way to focus most people’s attention on the given content longer.
One of my freelance customers is a Diamond Leader at doTERRA. This is one of the pdfs I made for her for the holiday season. My client trains Wellness Advocates on how to sell doTERRA’s products. By focusing the customer’s attention on printed content for longer periods of time education and sales of products is easier.
I created this protest piece while going to school in Italy in 2012. Line, shape, and color choices allowed this piece to evoke a sense of movement and strong emotion. This graphic was shown in a gallery at Ganzo in Florence, Italy, as well as at a St. Norbert College art show.
I knew that I wanted to create a photo series that represented a specific time period and captured strong emotion. While visiting a historic train museum, I learned that the museum could be rented. I borrowed period clothing and hired friends to model for me. This series was shown in two St. Norbert College art shows and at the Milwaukee Raw Artists show.

This photoshoot was a play on Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter. This image was a part of a St. Norbert College art show, and it was also showed in the Milwaukee RAW Artists show.
This was made for Smart Interactive Media as a sample social media piece that was shown to customers so they could choose the style of graphics that they wanted. The owner of Smart Interactive Media ended up posting it on social media as well to try to reach out to customers that he hadn’t heard from in a while to bring them back in the fold.
This is another shirt design created for Threadless.com. The line art and detail of the bee works better for a product where the design could be printed rather than knit, which is the method used for sock design.
This photo series was created during my stay in Italy as my depiction of Florence, Italy’s pure love of food, and the culture surrounding it. Food in Italy was always an experience, not just a meal. When discussing food with the locals that cooked it, they would often list the key ingredients in a way that seemed chaotic—until I actually tasted it. This photo aims to show how an outsider can experience the passion and excitement for food that permeates Italian culture. This image is a part of a 4 course meal photo series that was shown in Ganzo in Florence, Italy, St. Norbert College’s annual art show, and the Milwaukee RAW Artists show.
