Merry Christmas 2009!

Vino with Veterans Blizzard

The first Vino with Veterans event met with the first winter storm of the year. 20 hardy souls met at Spill the Wine for a few hours of lively conversation, beverages and snacks. I personally had a great time and hope the weather will be a little more kind to us for the next event

YouthLink Brochure

Recently a long-time client and friend, Nan Upin Murphy, asked my help in developing YouthLink's new marketing plan to donors. The main marketing piece is this brochure. Even non profits have been hit hard by the recession so this went from a very large project to a very small project. Even so, I think this visual will be a nice change of pace for them.

Cancer Research

I've been working with my friend Jonathan Wiese of 3.2.1 on a marketing program for Children's Cancer Research Fund. With his direction, I submitted this idea as my favorite for a series of 4 postcards. Since it has a child-like flavor, I thought it hit the mark completely.





The client couldn't make the connection between old technology (planes, trains, mining, hourglass) and the new innovations their research creates. So, we settled on the idea below... which I also liked.

Vino with Veterans

I was asked to create a new logo for a new program with the Minnesota chapter of AIGA. Vino with Veterans is a casual social gathering exclusively for veteran designers (15 years or more of work experience). My hope is that these gatherings will spark great conversations about the business of graphic design. Sharing our experiences, ideas and passion with each other could really help the Minneapolis design community, especially in the current economic climate.

Gold Man

The more we tear away the flesh, the more we see something beautiful forming in us.

Baby Icons

Here's a series of icons for a baby catalog. The client wanted the icons to be similar to the universal icons we see on bathroom doors and road signs... only with a bit of softness and cuteness added.
