Black & white logo design for a small business specializing in 3D printing and fabrication. This client specifically requested a bear but also wanted the logo to have a tech theme, so this design referenced a circuit board for the line art arranged to give it more of a dimensional feel.
(Logo was recently created and still being implemented by the client, so it is heavily watermarked here)
Logo and web banner designs for “Bon-AppetEats”, a small artisan craft business specializing in miniature polymer clay food sculptures and food themed jewelry.

Original logo design, one color screen print ready logo rework, and business card for, “Dark Forest Games”, a table gaming shop specializing in “Magic the Gathering” card game sales, trades, and tournaments.
The upper half of the logo uses hand drawn type and is meant to evoke the sense that you are in a ‘dark forest’ with a full moon on the rise, while the lower half uses a simple serif font over top of abstracted shapes representing playing cards as a subtle visual description of exactly what kind of gaming potential customers can expect.
~ Due to a quick initial start up the clients in this case chose to use the original full color logo prior to the finalizing of a design that could hold up as a dynamic one color or black and white design. When it came time to start selling t-shirts at their store using the logo, I was contacted to come back and continue working on design revisions so that the logo could be screen printed in all black or all white. Past and current store owners seem to use both designs interchangeably as a logo now.
Web and print ad designs for Woodchuck Furniture, Lighting, and Design – 2012 branding.
This multi ad design had to be eye catching in both black & white, as well as in color. It needed to work well in print and stand out on their Facebook timeline.
Incorporating the bright colors they used in their store windows, along with their woodchuck image/logo, I used a combination of lines and shapes to quickly highlight important information. I also made it so that the color and general orientation of the design elements could be rearranged to help maintain visual interest. This helped the store avoid having to do a complete redesign for every sale.
