A mix of doodles, designs, and fun packaging bits I’ve brought to life.

As a brand designer, I love finding ways to sneak illustration into just about everything I do, whether it’s a quirky character on a label, a custom graphic for packaging, or a playful touch on print collateral. Below are some of my favorite bits and pieces from over the years: small-scale packaging projects, illustrated moments, and other creative odds and ends that brought a little extra personality to the work.

LSU | Doctor of Design in Cultural Preservation (2017)

Above are an assortment of small-scale packaging projects, and packaging designs that utilize my love of illustration. 

Quad Fall 2017

I redesigned the Fall 2017 issue of Quad, the LSU College of Art & Design’s alumni magazine, which explored how artists and designers can promote environmental equality, support social justice, aid communities in recovering from disasters, and create more inclusive environments for people of all abilities, ages, and sizes.

Growing Up With TV (2016)

This project centered on television shows that shaped my youth, developed as a perfect bound book exceeding the 3,000-word minimum and spanning 36 pages. All illustrations and the majority of the copy were original, reflecting a highly personal approach. Bright colors and playful display typography were intentionally used to capture the vividness of each show, with the goal of giving each its own visual and narrative spotlight to convey its influence on me.

Texture!

If it wasn’t obvious, I love texture! Just like Rainbow Sponge Lady’s love of rainbow sponges, I too go crazy for textures. It adds layer and life to illustrations, which I have a soft spot in my heart for. 

Vectors Galore

Here’s a delightful sprinkling of vector-based designs—because nothing sparks joy for a designer quite like infinitely scalable graphics that actually behave.

Strong Female Figures

Designing and illustrating these powerful women felt less like work and more like joining a very stylish rebellion. It’s a tribute to the kind of bold, brilliant energy that reshapes the space around it with purpose and presence.

Birthday Cards

Once upon a time when I first started the agency life and we were a smaller office, I had the joy of designing birthday cards for all my coworkers. Above are a selection of cards that I created for fun.
