“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
This project is client work for Sonshine Residential Cleaning. SRC is a highend cleaning business that services vacation homes, condos, and private residences, operating out of Sarasota, Florida.The business needed an identity, name, logo, and business cards for individual employees as well as business cards for the company as a whole. Employees needed company shirts to wear while working. SRC also wanted a way to keep track of client’s instructions, in both digital and print formats. A branded thank-you note was also designed that doubles as a reminder for the next scheduled cleaning service.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Rojo Zorro is an edutainment app for kids that helps unify learning inside and outside the classroom. It’s purpose is to help Spanish speaking kids learn English. The app itself can be used in and out of the classroom and allows both teachers and parents to track their students’ progress. To accompany the app, there are a range of teacher tools to help unify classroom learning. A corresponding curriculum with Words of the Day to be used in both creative writing and vocab lessons makes lessons planning easier for teachers. This app needed an overarching system that employed learning in both digital and print forms.

This project is an ad campaign for Plastic Pollution Coalition. It focuses on highlighting the dangers of ocean plastics pollution. The design problem involved emotionally connecting the consumer to the issue.The ad series puts the problem into perspective by using familiar scenes and packaging to show that the pollution reaches them in their own homes and in their everyday lives. There also needed to be a way for social media to help bring awareness to the cause. The Instagram mockups shown feature ways people could show their solidarity with doing their part to stop ocean pollution.

“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
Autumn Photography is a self-owned photography buiness. It primarily focuses predominantly on nature, wildlife, and art documentation, but it also does photoshoots with people, families, and events. As a personal business, part of the design challenge was to create an identity that reflected my personality. A built-in solution was found in the cursive typeface, which uncannily resembles my own hand writing.

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because He is faithful.”
This project is client work for Palatka Jiujitsu Academy. It is a jiu-jitsu, self defense, combat wrestling acadmy based in Palatka, Florida. The design challenge was to create a brand identity for the academy that reflected the surrounding community while staying true to the Reslon Gracie Jiujitsu traditional symbolism. Traditionally, Relson Gracie keeps their logo in a triangle boundary. This triangle was merged with the outline of the part of the St. Johns River that runs through Palatka.This is a heavily identifiable landmark in Palatka due to their predominantly agricultural and fishing community.

This project is an ad campaign for Scholastic to push kids to read more. The design challange needed to include logical, proven benefits of reading to communicate with the adults. It also was important to create imagery and conepts that would entice the younger viewers to want to read. This multigenerational campaign focus needed to have print ads for younger viewers to come into contact with, but also needed an online presence. All Scholastic logo versions are pre-existing.
