Gerry's Lawn Care

Client: Gerry's Lawn Care
Software used:  Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator


Notes: Brand identity for a local lawn care company. Although they had been in business for many years, they didn't have a logo or business cards. The client wasn't exactly sure what sort of a "look" they wanted so I created two very different brands. The first is more of your standard lawn service. For the second, I wanted to get outside the box a little and go for a fun retro feel.

Animation Showcase Card

Client:  St. Louis Community College
Website:  stlcc.edu
Software used:  Adobe Illustrator


Notes: Designs for a postcard advertise the 3rd Annual student animation film festival. The card needed to be fun and eye-catching while also featuring the names of all animators participating. 

Women's Caucus for Art

Client: Women's Caucus for Art
Website: nationalwca.org
Software used:  Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator


Notes: Promotional materials designed for the Women's Caucus for Art. The flyers were designed for the St. Louis Chapter and the "Impact" logo was designed for their national conference in Washington, D.C.

Art-In Poster/ Badge

Client: St. Louis Community College
Website:  stlcc.edu
Software Used: Adobe Illustrator

Notes: I was called upon to design a poster and attendee badge for an event hosted by the Art Department. They wanted all the evening's workshops along with their with locations and times listed on the poster. That made for quite a lot of information to layout while making sure to maintain a readable, attractive design. I created all elements from scratch in Illustrator, including the mascot characters.

NoctiLuna Massage Business Card

Client: Michael Mattina
Software used:  Adobe InDesign  & Illustrator


Notes: A logo and business card designed for a start-up business specializing in prenatal massage. The client knew he wanted to incorporate a moon in the design, but aside from that, he wasn't sure. I tried out a few different designs before we settled on the painted look for the moon.

To achieve that look I used acrylic paint on watercolor paper. Then I photographed the painting and vectorized it in Illustrator.
