Cool King® T-shirt Design
As a refresh to the staff uniform, I illustrated this graphic. Something simple to personify the intent Cool King® wishes to bring to it’s customers.
GET SAFE® Workplace Empowerment & Safety Training Promotional Video
With this project, I ventured to the offices of the Moulton Niguel Water District to shoot editorial photography and capture video of Get Safe’s Workplace Empowerment & Safety Training classes.

UCI Care “Take Back the Night” 2022
I had the privilege to develop this motion graphic and verbiage seen in this social media post for GET SAFE®. One of the challenges of this project was the photography I received was very low resolution. To remedy this, I converted the images to vector-based graphics so I could scale them better. It gave the […]

This one of the videos I composed after capturing the GET SAFE® team in action at a Crime Survivors event in October of 2022. I have fond memories of the day. I feel lucky to have been able to participate in such a positive minded program. You can find out more about the services GET […]

Vici Wellness Product Photography
I had the opportunity to take product photos for Vici Wellness to use for their online store.

Cool King® Cup Designs
For a business like Cool King® the cup is more than just a disposable vessel of consumption. When you pose for social with your most recent dessert creation, the cup has to be as cool as you and what’s in it.
The Selleck Palm Springs
These are the two logo designs “The Selleck” went with to brand their amazing short term rental located in the heart of Palm Springs. I highly recommend if you’re going to be out that way, you look into making it your “home away from home” while you are there. Book your next stay at The […]

Fermentation Farm Kombucha Label Designs
Fermentation Farm has grown into the “go to” purveyor of high-quality, hand-crafted nourishing foods. I respect they set the bar high with their expectation for excellence. The Yelp community does as well since they rated them #3 of the top 100 in the nation of 2022. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to […]
GET SAFE® Stronger, Safer Persons with Disabilities

The intent was to help put focus on how their expertise as a professional safety training agency has proven to promote a successful outcome for many individuals. With this project I was asked […]
Dossier with Dignity
Would you consider it trite to toot your own horn? Can self-promotion be done in a tasteful and formative manner, without offensive trappings and being perceived as braggadocious. Here I showcase projects I had the pleasure of being part of, and I hope by causing focus, it brings further success to all who participated.
Are you puzzled?
I believe design is not unlike solving a puzzle. The pieces are there, we just have to have the vision and perseverance to find the right fit. A concept dangles in the æther — faint, small, and undefined. With time, concentration, and emotion, it can be built into something unexpected and original. Anyone that knows me will testify, I will not stop until a resolve is found. This journey of concept to creation is fulfilling, and the reason I keep opening the box and dumping the pieces on the floor.
