Capitalizing on his unique first name, I developed an eye-catching brand and marketing campaign for Twin Cities Realtor Arlo Dissette based on the theme of “Where’s Arlo?”. Brochures, business cards, signage and advertisements combined to set him a part in a competitive real estate market.

I worked with Clare Housing on numerous projects over the years, including brand-building posters and a series of advertisements promoting their Friends Dining With Friends fundraisers.

I created a series of print materials for Look + See Eyecare, a boutique optometrist and eyeglass shop in Minneapolis. Brochures, direct mail pieces, advertisements and appointment reminder cards complimented each other.

I designed a logo and identity system and a series of postcards for JT Collective, a new online music distribution system. The logo combines an equalizer display and a russian constructivism typeface, promoting the idea of a “revolutionary” music service. The postcards have a bold and eye-catching design that allows for maximum flexibility online and in print advertisements.

With a warm color palette and a contemporary design, the logo and identity system I built for Linner Group provided a sophisticated and flexible image for an independent consultant.

In our second year of working together, I developed a look & feel for their AIDS Trek fundraising bicycle ride that was a continuation of the previous year’s look, while creating a distinct identity for 2007.

The Northeast Minneapolis Business Association asked me to help promote Northeast Nights, a series of events for their new business district. I designed a gamepiece and related collateral that encouraged customers to collect stamps from participating businesses for a chance to win prizes, while enjoying customer specials at each stop along the way.

Using a combination of heavily manipulated stock and custom imagery, I created posters, flyers and banners for ALTERnation events, a series of alternative music parties in the San Francisco Bay area. I struck a balance between a unique look and feel for each event and a consistent ALTERnation brand.

Twin Cities boutique and gift store Gather needed an enhanced print identity to feature selections from their ever-changing lineup of high-end merchandise. Photos that I took of items in the store setting provided customers a beautiful preview of the store and merchandise in advertisements and print materials.

Several times a year, two Twin Cities charities (Park House and Clare Housing) raise money for their HIV/AIDS programs with a raucous evening of bingo hosted by local drag queen superstar Miss Richfield 1981. To promote the events, I created a series of postcards and advertisements featuring the superstar herself whimsically combined with clip art, stock photography and photos that I took myself.
