BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Mixing old with new. Whimsical with the academic. Personalities that span the gamut. Bold flavors with a bright note of tang. The collecting and re-distilling of images, ideas, styles, and tastes in new ways is a philosophy I have come to live by in both my life and in my design. A previous life lived in the sciences taught me skills of analysis, rationing, and clarity of process and methodology. After altering courses to study design, I honed my ability to think creatively and aesthetically. Yet,the most profound lesson I took with me was not one born of either school-of-thought alone—but rather— the realization that everything is interdisciplinary. The most successful solution is one crafted from a carefully curated collection things, thoughts, and people—all working in harmony. It was only after having lived in both worlds that I could finally see how relavent each is to the other. I draw inspiration from anything and everything around me. A pinch of this and a dash of that. Sometimes I work from scientific roots, other ideas are born from a love of all things culinary, and yet more come from a passion for both history and historical forms. Always though, it is a a combination of things (often unexpected) working together. I, myself, have become a collection of sorts and I carry with me all the influences of those who and which have touched me deeply. This portfolio is a showcase of works which exemplify my personality, perspective, and above all, how I've re-imagined the elements around me to bring an idea to life.

Pac kag ing System
This project's key objective was to take an existing established brand—not currently in the barbeque market—and expand their product offering to make a strong and competitive entry into the world of grilling. Stagg, the makers of some kickin' chili, was a natural fit for this brand extension. Rugged textures and typography come together to create a look that is appeals unapologetically to masculine grill kings. Deep colors communicate the products' quality and flavor intensity. And the logo? Well, what better solution, than to take the existing Stagg logo, carve it out of wood and then light it on fire. With flames that subliminally look like a rodeo cowboy on a bull. Check and check. Stagg Barbeque is some serious sauce for those into serious grilling.

Playful use of bright colors applied in a judiciously restrained manner create a look that speaks to the whimsy of their vibrant enamels, as well as the sophistication of their product lines. A custom, hand-lettered logotype reiterated their 1920s French culinary roots, and the brilliant red color is a bold and eye-catching reinvention of the equity in their earlier logo. The end result is a comprehensive brand identity system that pays homage and exuberantly celebrates the unique personality of Le Creuset.

Traditional rustic country elements were combined with gilded ornaments to create a look that communicated both the premium quality and artisanal origins of the Alpenhain family of cheeses. Though decidedly ornate and opulent, the new design was also carefully crafted to work at a large range of sizes, ranging from a large 12-inch wheel to delectable bite-sized minis. Whenever possible, an extra layer of design and culinary sensitivity was infused in the form of interior labels that helped educate the consumer about the art of cheese tasting and inspired them to try new flavor combinations and pairings.

Five-Poster Ser ie s
Boylan Bottling Company has been making quality soda pop the time-honored old-fashioned way since 1891 and it's about time the public got a little taste of their uncompromising commitment to making a good, honest, authentic soda from classic recipes. Staying true to the brand's current personality and utilizing their equity to maximum effect were key goals in this promotional campaign. That's not to say that we just stuck with what they already had, but rather, that we pushed the boundaries and reintroduced them in a way that was both refreshing but still recognizable. A series of five lively posters were designed for this campaign and were applied in traditional advertising venues as well as the more contemporary wild-posting format. Eye-catching headlines make for clear and fun messaging and quirky imagery help to set this brand apart from the pack. Posters for personal display are printed on a featherweight tissue which capture the effervescence of the soda, as well as create a finished piece that is as delightful to hold as the sodas are refreshing on a hot summer day.

of its beauty and clarity of form In the continual pursuit of this endeavor, a 96-page scientific text was compiled that details our current discoveries and understandings of natures magnificent creatures. The key objective was to create a text that communicated the subject matter not only by way of language, but via the language of design—to communicate through form, expressive typography and information graphics. To this end, a final bound text was produced that is at once both expressive and yet still retains its true function as an informative, academic text. A balance between readability and typographic expressiveness was struck and creativity was pushed with decisive restraint. Two finished books were designed as companions and begin to develop a series where each piece has its own distinct personality, yet works in harmony with the other.

Skincare for the jetsetting gentleman. deliver ables
In the world of cosmetics, women have dominated the market, but it's time that men finally got their due. With
Ref re she d Brand Identity
Brand Promise/Tagline
the rise of the "metrosexual" and a new group of savvy "manscapers," a line of skincare specifically formulated and targeted at the male consumer was just the ticket.
Pac kag ing System
This project focused on taking an established brand and extending their product offerings to include a line of personal care products, while simultaneously refreshing their brand image. Samsoniteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makers and purveyors of quality travel luggage piecesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was ideally suited for this project objective. The brand identity was revisited and refreshed to cater to more of a contemporary market and capture new market share with younger consumers. The resulting skincare line that was developed in tandem is not only designed to harmonize with one of Samsonite's high-end collections, but also, in and of itself, caters to business travelers and on-the-go professionals who enjoy looking as polished and sharp as their suits.

What if Target Corporation wanted to open a new subsidiary to compete in a more sophisticated market?

What if that store was called Aero and what if this idea was given real proof-of-concept testing via a massive private label packaging design project? Well then, you'd

have this next project.
P r ivate L abe l Pac ka g ing
Working within real-world design constraints and within a collaborative group dynamic, this large-scale project was undertaken. Overall store strategy was developed, as well as marketing and design strategies for their store brands and private labels. The store brand crossed product lines and touched everything from food to performance products, while the private labels targeted niche consumer needs. In keeping with current Target brand thinking, everything was designed "smartly," and the packaging became opportunities not only for design, but for the integration of multi-purpose usages and even new product development. Well over 100 individual SKUs were designed and produced and I was given the honor of presenting this body of work at a talk at The Dieline conference in Chicago 2011.

Divided into two distinct sub-categories, Gaia Pac kag ing System
offers products for dedicated athletes as well as those just dedicated to an active lifestyle. The active series features vitamins and supplements as well as equipment for leisure sports while the athletic line caters to the true sports enthusiast. Cohesion was kept between the lines by way of the use of color, and typefaces, while variety and differentiation was executed through imagery type and treatment as well as texture variances and complementary accent elements. The result is a line of products that enjoys great flexibility but still holds together to communicate one unified brand image.

Ease and accessibility was key in helping to shape and inform the design. Soft neutrals were accented with a fresh and lively pop of green. Crisp lines gracefully pair with organic forms for a line that is versatile and with broad consumer appeal. Core brand elements were strategically applied in distinctly separate, but still coordinating ways to allow the consumer to quickly distinguish which products were for kitchen and which for table and entertaining. A final, subtle luxury was added in the form of a softtouch matte finish accented with areas of spot gloss.

a most heartfelt thanks
After nearly 30 years, two separate forays into higher education, and endless hours of blood, sweat and tears later, I've finally summited this mountain. And the view is spectacular. A huge thank you to my instructors. It was you who opened my eyes to new worlds and new possibilities. You, who pushed me to my limits and beyond in the continual refinement of this wonderful craft, and it is from you that I know all that I do in this field. Thank you to Jeff Towner for teaching me how to make my work a tangible reality. Thank you to Christine George for introducing me to a love of packaging and to Michael Osborne for testing that love to the farthest degree. Thank you to Max Spector for instilling in me a passion for nuance and for helping me reconcile my love of both old and new. Thank you to Carolina de Bartolo for teaching me that typography is one of the sharpest weapons I can wield. Thank you to Todd Hedgpeth for showing me how to combine all these disciplines into a cohesive whole. And thank you to Mary Scott for guiding me along the final and most difficult stage of this journey. To my classmates, thank you for inspiring and pushing me as we worked alongside each other. To Team Wonderlandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Amanda Grage, Swin Huang, Kihong Kim and Karin Albertsson, thank you for being a spectacular group of creative individuals. I am honored to have worked alongside you all. To Peter Pham, thank you for being a constant friend and quiet support. To Matthew Nolan Park, thank you for your endless creativity, wit, charm, humor and for always knowing what to say. Finally, to my family, the greatest thanks of all. It is only by virtue of your nurturing and guidance that I dared to dream the impossible. It is from you I learned to take both calculated risks and blind leaps of faith. To Uncle Ben and Auntie Delia, thank you for your years of encouragement and for always telling me the things I may not have wanted to hear, but needed to. Thank you to my mother for believing that I could and to my father for showing me that failure is never within my realm of possibility. To my brother, formal mortal foe, and current best friend, Nathan, thank you for loving me unconditionally and for your true heart of gold. To my husband Kevin, thank you for all that you are and for your boundless love. To all of you, I am forever indebted and to all of you, I dedicate this work. Thank you everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I love you.
