My work is human.

It's emotional, witty, fun, serious, clear, beautiful, and smart.

Please take a look at my work in mobileweb, printlogos, and identity.

I have skills in designillustration, photography, and writing.

I craft words and images into clever and persuasive communication.

I'm lucky to work with interesting people.

BigTent - Playful

Playful_c

One of a series of design explorations for a brand make over for BigTent. The design is information rich, easy to read like a magazine with constantly updated information, and with a look-and-feel that appeals to a target market of primarily women professionals who are involved in their communities.

Organic_science

Drug_interactions

BrainCells Inc. wanted a more professional design that reflected the quality of their science and services. Aimed at scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and investors, BCI needed a new website and presentation materials to help explain complex concepts and sell investors on their company. The project included design of the site and also a fair amount of illustration.
