Sleepy Cat
My goal for this small illustration and animation was to depict a simple sleeping cat while maintaining its circular shape. During the sketching and ideation phase, I created numerous variations to ensure the effectiveness of how the animation behaved.

Patagonia
Patagonia commissioned me to create serveral illustrations based on their prompt, "Eat Local." I developed a series of concept sketches, meetings, and numerous iterations, ultimately delivering eight concepts aligned with their prompt of eating locally. Among these, the illustration titled "Eat Local, Watering Can" was selected to be featured on a tee.

Clydesdale Illustration Process
The above video shows my streamlined process for crafting icon and illustrations. This is the same phased process that I use for large design projects albeit condensed to focus on a single artifact. While some may perceive this work as straightforward, it actually demands meticulous attention to detail and draws upon thorough research to effectively sketch, ideate, and achieve visual harmony, alignment, and readability.

 

Spectrum Health

Client Project
December 2017

Spectrum Health
I worked alongside a team of engineers and developers to design and develop functional prototype application for Spectrum Health. The application catered to both new and returning patients of Spectrum Health facilities, offering features such as iPad-based check-in for hospital and doctor appointments, seamless access to medical records, and entertainment options. This endeavor required a strategic approach, including the use of personas, iterative wire-framing, and meticulous design iterations to craft a compelling and user-centric digital journey for patients.

CAT Footwear

Client Project
August 2003

__
CAT Footwear
While being employed at Designvox I helped create some of the concept pieces for their Cat Footwear brochure. This project faced a distinctive challenge, CAT footwear had been successfully manufacturing high-quality construction boots for 20 years, primarily catering to masculine construction workers. However, new customer demographics emerged, as women and teenagers began to purchase their rugged boots. Armed with this information, I produced some of the photography concept directions. The selected photography approach showcased consumers wearing CAT's footwear, focusing specifically on their CAT boots as they engaged in various activities within diverse environments. This concept resonated with our clients, aligned with consumers, and fit the demographics without being overtly masculine or feminine.
