Fun solo-design job for IT staffing and consulting firm, Eliassen Group.

Creative freedom to design a wedding invitation, what more could a sister ask for?

I referenced the Victorian Gaslight Style, and took elements from the historic mansion venue to develop the design of the couple’s save-the-date, wedding invitation, flip booth booklet, keepsake photo, and thank you notes.

The tri-fold invitation with perforated tear-off reply postcard, and the portrait’s setting on a prop-style moon matched the playfulness of the artist couple perfectly.

Invitation, reply, and thank you notes were produced and letterpress printed in collaboration with A. Favorite Design.

Dream job as prop stylist and maker– I could not be more enthusiastic to glue hundreds of tiny sprinkles into the shape of a message!

Short videos were concepted by Digitas, and recorded by photographer John Mulligan advertising Perks Week at Dunkin' Donuts across multiple social media platforms.

Concepts/designs for 3 different Capital One cards:

The Affluent Card, using higher grade materials showcasing two different variations. One with the message, “Good things are going to happen” to bring a sense of positivity and goodwill to each transaction. And a modern spin on a traditional look with a framed and dipped design.

“Venture X”: Capital One’s new class of travel card, using sleek landscape imagery imagining the card holder’s possible destinations or a modern simplified version with just the name.

And a new Capital One Debit Card design (3 concepts)- one utilizing the golden rectangle in conjunction with Capital One’s color system, the ultimate balance in design; a subtle pattern suggesting a wave of energy; a modern gradient glow to highlight the user’s name.

Concept and design of swag options to give daily reminders of Capital One’s brand color system to employees. Sticker sheets, pen and notepaper, pencil sets, swatch bookmarks, mug and iPhone case were among the options.

Designed for look-and-feel to be used in print and online, three concepts based on design basics: the grid, measuring tools, and shape. The designs were to be applied to a Brand Imperative Moleskin, email format, portal and intranet banners to showcase Capital One’s system of design.

Dozens of print variations, digital ads and games, and broadcast spots advertised the long list of school supplies that Target offered in their Back to School campaign. It began simply with a little spray paint on metal and grew from there.

Skillful hand-crafting is my specialty! I’m fortunate to have helped with these crazy projects:

4-foot painted Minecraft prop /// ROFLCON Summit at W+K Portland

Bedazzled cigar box to hold naughty treats /// Amy Sedaris pitch for Target

Stuffed invisible monkey /// Souvenir prop for Dodge headquarters immortalizing W+K’s controversial chimpanzee commercial

The Divine Comedy book cover illustrating violence, hand of greed, and wrath-ensuing “Rickroll-in-a-Box” /// EA Sports, Dante’s Inferno influencer kits

For one week, 600+ employees at Wieden + Kennedy were encouraged to take the stairs. Asked to design an elevator poster, I proposed instead to design caution floor signs to sit outside each elevator in the 6-floor building. I created 10 designs on adhesive backed paper, and adhered each to a floor stand.

At the end of the week, thighs were reportedly much tighter.

I utilize the Adobe Creative Suite throughout my fine art practice too. I often alternate between a sketchy sketchbook and a computery computer before I get down to painting.
