This special offer was in need of a reboot to fit the changing demographic of the age group it celebrates. A 70's theme was approved and all graphic elements were custom made for the campaign, which spans digital, print and motion graphics.

This live, full-size game board concept is based on the board game “Scrabble” where contestants come up to solve the word puzzle with the correct letters to win prizes.

Drink of the Month was conceptualized by the Center Bar Manager and the Marketing Manager who gave me the creative freedom for the art direction, logo, and photography.

A monthly dining special that celebrates authentic dishes from around the world. From the logo to the strategically placed food elements, I was honored to design this campaign from concept to completion. A favorite among the guests and employees alike. All chalk work was hand drawn and scanned into the design.

In 2019, the course had undergone many improvements and I was tasked with updating the branding visuals. They requested the color scheme of blue, light blue and red to match a regional tribal organization. While also needing to reflect the relationship to the casino, a merge was created with the "swoosh" and the flow of a golf swing and ball down a fairway. This allowed many creative opportunities for ads and promotional campaigns.

Printing Concepts, Inc. sends quarterly promotional mailers to their clients and customers. Since May, June and July are known for flowers, warmer weather, gardening etc., the idea to package basil seeds with a blossoming mailer piece was produced. The birth flowers for these three months were illustrated to continue as a decoration or be framed when the calendar ends. After a few weeks passed, a follow-up piece was sent out to request pictures of the plants for the continuation of the project. Pictures were received, and they will appear again next May in a fresh promotional piece. 

These guide books are designed for those visiting the Tom Ridge Environmental Center and Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. They feature illustrations and watercolor design elements that give the books a hand made quality. By using a modern grid system and full-bleed images, the books gain a professional and interesting standpoint that is cohesive with the State Park and other organizations.

This self promotion piece was created in my senior design class and voted into the senior design show by my peers. Everything was handcrafted except the wooden card which was laser engraved by an outside source. 

Printed on recycled Neenah paper. Walnut card is from personal scrap material.

RIDE Snowboards was the first snowboard company to have public stock by teaming up with a large corporation named Jarden. This is their public annual report information from 2013, however, this was was designed for my own portfolio use and I do not own any of these rights and no publication or production was implemented.

The design process succeeded by following design trends during 2014 as well as my own creativity. Using watercolor brush strokes to convey carves in the snow and a modern grid design with just their brand colors of orange and black gave this report a sophisticated yet grungy appeal for both stock holders and riders alike who support this manufacturer and what RIDE Snowboards stands for: snowboarding and the riders.

This project was to develop a chapbook about a design movement that includes informational text about the entirety of that movement. Art Nouveau was a short lived style from the late 1800's, made famous by Alphonse Mucha for his posters of the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt. The style of Art Nouveau continues to be found in many current designs and artwork ranging from gardening catalogs to band shirts.
