HIWAY CREDIT UNION BUS TAILS

What makes this campaign fun and unique is that it was created to speak directly to the people stuck behind the bus. I wrote most of the lines as well.

NORTHTOWN MALL SIGNAGE

I was tasked with coming up with an idea for the in-store Northtown Mall spring fashion promotion. There were only 12 kiosk spaces available, so instead of using traditional printing, I had a prop maker build 12 hand-made, tactile and dimensional signs using iconic spring clothing shapes "mowed" out of lovely, artificial grass.

HENDRICKS REGIONAL HEALTH CAMPAIGN

Using iconic medical devices, this digital and print campaign promoted three acclaimed specialties of Hendricks Regional Health.

HENDRICKS TV PART 1

These three TV spots were concepted with the Hendricks tagline in mind: Treat people better. For these, we used light humor instead of the usual heavy-handed style you see for most healthcare spots.

THE LEATHER SOFA CO. INTEGRATED CAMPAIGN

For the Leather Sofa Company, my partner and I did a full rebranding starting with a new look and a new fully integrated campaign to tell the story that all their furniture was handmade right here in Texas. It included outdoor boards, social (Facebook, Instagram and Pandora), banner ads, newspaper ads and in-store collateral.

LOGOS

Creating logos and branding is one of my favorite things to do. I love distilling a brand down to its’ most basic core. Here are a few from over the years. A few of these were not the chosen versions used by the client. Instead, I am showing a version of the logo I liked the best because I want to.

THE RUSSIAN MUSEUM OF ART PHOTOGRAPHY POSTERS

Here are four posters I presented for a photography show at The Museum of Russian Art. They chose one but I liked all four so I'm showing them here.

TIME WARNER DIRECT MAIL

How do you show a "get free cable in any three rooms" offer? With an outhouse, of course.

THE MUSEUM OF RUSSIAN ART SHOW SIGNAGE

For several years, I was responsible for all the art direction and design for every show at The Museum of Russian Art. This included all interior and exterior graphics along with print and digital advertising.

BAYLOR ALL SAINTS AD CAMPAIGN

For this spec campaign, which I wrote as well, I was asked to show Baylor's comprehensive services. I accomplished this by literally listing their specialties plus adding one that the reader might not know about, thus reinforcing the "we can treat just about anything" idea but in an engaging way. Full disclosure, they did not go with this idea but I felt is was a good opportunity to show some writing skills.

RUBY TEQUILA'S MENU DESIGN

I took the look and feel from the architecture and interior design of Ruby Tequila's restaurants and created all new branding including these menus.

BUNN MASONRY BRAND IDENTITY KIT

Can the design of a logo and brand identity kit for a fairly industrial product be beautiful? I think so. It helps to have a great client too.

ST. CATHERINE'S WOMEN'S COLLEGE OUTDOOR BOARD

Here's an outdoor board that I designed and wrote that represents the strength of St. Kate's in eight words.

HENDRICKS TV PART 2

My partner and I based these spots on Hendricks wonderful tagline, "treat people better." We took that thought out into the world and showed instances of people being treated better or sometimes worse, but always in a humorous way.

FEDEX HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN

Here is a spec holiday campaign I presented to FedEx. Instead of showing typical gifts, I used words to represent that feeling you get when you receive a gift and the feeling you get when you know the gift you're sending will be delivered on time. 

PACKAGING

The client wanted a tennis-themed wine, here are some design concepts that came out of it.
