The Guide Book: Paddling Pacific Northwest 2019 required a full page ad to be made for Immersion Research. After acquiring assets to build the ad from IR, I researched their newly revamped website and made an ad to fit their style.

Risa Shimoda reached out to me for a new logo after meeting at Paddlesports Retailer in Oklahoma City. After our talk and my discovery phase, I was able to design a few keywords to make their new logo – Community, water, and an oxbow lake shape. The result is an instantly recognizable mark.

What started as a joke, quickly became a, “Hey, you should make a logo for that!” Go search on instagram for the “Pho Art House” The rest is history. I love pho.

Bang Energy’s current logo consists of a lower case ‘b’ with radar and sniper crosshair elements. I took on recreating my favorite energy drink beverage. I mixed stylings from an explosion icon as well as how chemists break out the makeup of molecules in creatine.

Lakeside Granite is a new custom countertop company located right outside Lake Stevens. Towering Lake Stevens is the iconic, Mt. Pilchuck. My client wanted a logo to represent the water and the mountain in the area.

Gaming has never been the same since the clan system of Halo 2. (November 9th, 2004) Trigger Effect is changing that. Starting out with just six members in October 2014, Trigger Effect now has 99 members!

Ryan Stevenson was looking for an appropriate mark to take his Realty Business, Flow State Realty, to the next level. Bringing in a water color palette really sets this simple mark off.

A true Cascade icon that represents home to so many. Mount Baring is my favorite mountain in the entire Cascade Range. I've thought of even getting a tattoo of it for years. This might be the one. It's where I'm from. It's how I live. It's an icon of the valley we live in.

Tony Meranto has built a reputation for getting the job done right and dependably. He wanted a strong lettermark logo for people to easily recognize his trucks whizzing by on the highway. Starting out with just one truck, he now has a fleet of three trucks and is still picking up speed.

A concept for the consignment outdoor gear shop in Knoxville, TN. Outdoor Gear Revival. Keeping gear out of the landfill and bringing it back to life. To bring products back to life, the color palette needed to be a vibrant one, full of energy.
