UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–STOUT ATHLETICS BRANDING
Development of an athletics mark for UW–Stout featuring Blaze, the Blue Devil mascot. Rather than being a ground-up rebranding for athletics, the mark is meant to work within the the existing branding system, and the basic design of Blaze had to stay consistent with current marketing.

UNH SUMMER YOUTH MUSIC SCHOOL REBRAND
The Summer Youth Music School (SYMS) at the University of New Hampshire is an academic summer camp for music, founded in 1941. Work encompassed identity development and graphic design for a fully branded advertising campaign. The new SYMS logo is tied to the new (2014) UNH logo typographically and chromatically. The two are designed to be displayed together if needed. The typographic treatment for SYMS and the five horizontal lines evoke the stylistic elements of traditional sheet music.

WILSON PLACE MANSION POSTER DESIGN/ILLUSTRATION
The War of the Worlds poster is a pastiche, appropriating elements from many historical posters and covers of The War of the Worlds from past incarnations in the media. The town has been changed to downtown Menomonie, WI, where the performance took place. Tales from the North Woods takes visual cues from horror movie posters and book jackets from the 1970s. The Werewolf uses modern stylistic approaches with vintage-inspired typography. Posters were printed in limited edition and sold at the performances.

PUDGIE REVOLUTION! COOKBOOK DESIGN
This camping cookbook utilizes full-bleed photography to show how to build gourmet, foodie-centric pudgie pies. Because of the simple cooking methods and casual cooking environments, emphasis was placed on imagery and the layering of ingredients more than step by step directions, borrowing elements from information graphics. Recipes are color-coded by meal type.
