Day of the Dead
In celebration of the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos). Though I'm not of Mexican descent, I deeply appreciate their tradition of celebrating and honoring departed loved ones. I’ve utilized the typeface Taurunum Ferrum Steel designed by Nikola Kostić and Zoran Kostić from Kostic Type Foundry.

A Faithful Companion & Herzog
Our family adopted a Norwegian Elkhound from our nearby dog shelter. As one does when getting a dog, I was searching online for a sleek and durable dog collar + leash, Herzog dog gear caught my eye and it was an easy decision to purchase their products (I purchased the Terracotta Collar and Leash as a set). Their meticulously crafted items boast both waterproof and eco-friendly qualities, fitting seamlessly into our minimalist style and complementing our Elkhound perfectly. The silhouette illustration above represents the Leonberger dog breed.

Recycle & Die
An illustrative exploration reveals the deceptive narrative sold to us by plastic companies: the idea that recycling will effectively benefit our planet. However, this notion masks a troubling reality—it serves as a ploy to perpetuate the cycle of production and pollution, ultimately exacerbating our planet.

Lark & Poppy
This crest was illustrated upon reflection of the poem, in Flanders Fields. For those who are and are not Canadian, on Remembrance Day, Canadians adorn a red poppy over their heart to honor the veterans that fought and died for our freedoms. Read and reflect on the poem, In Flanders Field. The poem was pened during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. Today let's remember all our veterans.

Crow & Pitcher
This weekend I read several fables by Aesop to my kids. One of the fables, The Crow & the Pitcher draws a relationship between problem-solving and wit (critical thinking), and perseverance. Within my own practice of strategic visual communication, these two attributes are critical in the process of developing and building brands. Without it, the ability to perceive, create and innovate is deprived.

Stayhome Friends
Amidst the U.S. stay-at-home mandate, I crafted a series of playful illustrations, each carrying messages specifically designed for the stay-at-home orders. These illustrations served not only to entertain but also to reinforce the importance of staying home during this time.

3DC19
During the 2020 pandemic, 3DC19 emerged as a response to the heightened demand for PPE among frontline workers. This initiative was prompted by disruptions in the supply chain caused by the U.S. stay-at-home order.
To tackle this challenge, a group of makers, creators, and volunteers based in West Michigan collaborated to print 3D face shields, ear savers and more. This collaborative effort brought together individuals with a shared objective to address the pressing need for protective equipment.

In this collaboration, my role involved assisting the 3DC19 team in crafting a logo, icons, and brand guidelines to enhance their visibility within their communities and on social media platforms. The group and I contributed time, materials, and resources to manufacture PPE equipment free of charge for frontline workers.
