In striving to build the Edmonds art community, local shops generated a fun reason to enjoy art, while shopping and noshing. I was responsible for the creation and execution of marketing materials for this Edmonds Art + Wine Walk hosted on third Thursdays of the month.

A sample collection of a few of my favorite logos I've created over the years for a variety of clients. All translate well for various media including in print, signage, clothing and web.

This B2B ad series showcases Cobalt's goal of helping an automotive dealer achieve the impossible. The ads series starts by stating real hard stats that are achievable sales goals. But "that's unacceptable" to Cobalt. We want more and better for you – hence the "scowling" CEO image.

The "reveal" ad tells automotive dealers how they can manifest those "dream big" ideas using Cobalt products. It also gave Cobalt an opportunity to showcase our new product line (via icons).

The campaign evolved to one off ads that focused on how the game has changed for dealers with regards to the way people shop and buy a vehicle.

I brainstormed, designed and produced all the ads as well as the art directed and styled the photoshoots.

I’ve had the opportunity to help HomeStreet Bank’s marketing department maintain brand excellence for the past 3 years through a wide variety of projects. Logos, advertising, presentations, tradeshow booths, social media, flyers and postcards, for both the corporate and mortgage divisions, are just sampling of the fun things we have developed together.

Shown are various Cobalt Exclusive Networking Party invitations for "the" annual National Automotive Dealer Association (NADA) event. The audience for the party included major movers and shakers of the automotive world. The invitations reflect the exclusivity of the event – a chance for these leaders to mingle.

I had the opportunity to work on all facets of the event marketing materials surrounding the event and our presence at every NADA for 9 years. The invitations are just snapshots, but also a fun part of the designs created for NADA.

I created an exciting theme for the EdCCF Havana Nights Gala and Auction event that attracted more people than ever to the event. The event materials I generated included menus, oversized signage, tickets and more. There was a lot of image retouching, print and project management involved, which I enjoyed. In the end more money was raised the previous year for the foundation.

Various print projects I've designed, art directed and produced from conception to print.

This very personal booklet was generated to give an unknown adoptive mother the confidence in the Connell's ability to nurture and love her child. (Side note. Even though this was a very quick turn project, the PDF of this booklet worked in matching a child to his family before the printed booklet was off the press! Congrats!)

ezPalette is a web application that allows users to create collages for market research. The tool was created for market research professionals, and it provides an easy and personal way for respondents to visually and creatively express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

The brand was developed to appeal to both market researcher and those that actually create the collages. The application interface had to be familiar, clean and easy to use. The product itself makes it easy for a market researcher to gather info remotely and speed up the information gathering process.

This was a project created from the ground up. Logo design, application design and website design. I hired a web designer and art directed and managed the project until it was passed off to the developers for final implementation.

Fun promotional campaigns for various clients.

I’ve been lucky to be able to work on so many unique projects. My attention to detail can be utilized for books as well as helping authors promote themselves.

Various campaigns I created to help sales people have an edge at a show and get that first conversation.

I was able to create a fresh, updated look for the latest gala fundraiser. Using ECC’s brand colors and elements, I created a design evoking the feeling of how participants inspire transformation within students. Thinking about how all the students’ learn – firing brain cells, like bright idea particles – also give the gala design a festive feel and creates the mood for the event.

I've worked on a number of trade show booths (big and small) for NADA and local shows with various clients. Here you'll see a representation of banners, signage and wall displays.
