Design is in everything we make, but it is also
between those things. It is a mix of craft, science,
storytelling, propaganda and philosophy.
[Erik Adigard]
As an experienced graphic designer, I have spent
the past seven years refining my professional skills
with a solid Midwestern work ethic. Working with a
publication, a printing firm and a growing marketing
agency, I have amassed a collection of design work
that spans a broad range of concepts and objectives.
I am motivated, skilled and well-trained; a strategic
thinker able to be passionate about a design
and pragmatic in its solution. I have a thirst for
innovation and am very quick to learn. With a
dynamic, modern and sophisticated style, my
professional portfolio is abundant with work done
for corporate clients. I satisfy my high-octane
alter-ego working with musicians, photographers,
dancers and artisan brewers in my spare time.
I am always looking for new challenges. I am flexible
and agile, but confident. I take honest pride in my
work, which explains my dedication to perfection.
Above all, I am a genuine, natural-born creative.

Br a n d Id e n t it y
In response to the growth of the marketing agency, and with

with the creative industry and be attractive to potential
clients and employees.

Food & Beverage Division
Pr ogr a m C a m pa ign &
fie ld Se rv ic e R e po rt
The employees of Ecolab Food & Beverage needed a tool
to help their clients see the value of protecting the food
that their customers enjoy from the time it enters their
establishment until it’s on a plate. And also the plate. And the
hands that touch the food and the plate. You get the idea.
Concept development, layout and design.
8. Ecolab, Inc.
Corporate Division
E xe c ut iv e Pr e se n tati o n

10. Staffing Partners
Com pa n y We bsit e
Diversity and humanity were the central ideas that I worked
with for this professional staffing agency. Therefore, I let the
colors in the images jump forward from an otherwise grey
creative; keeping the environment professional and the people
vibrant, just like the experience.
Concept development, website layout and design.
11. Coalburn Landscaping
Id e n t it y Syst e m
A new landscaping business had the idea of individual service
with completely sustainable methods, down to a customized
bicycle to transport equipment. I used a mixture of rustic and
modern fonts in a simple layout to convey the traditional
values with cutting-edge awareness.

12. River Falls
Ballet Academy
“ N e v e r la n d ”
There can still be mystery in a small town. The senior class
of the River Falls Ballet Academy wanted to showcase their
talents and friendships in a unique performance featuring
classical ballet, modern and hip hop dances. I was happy to
design the promotional materials...especially since I’d already
choreographed and produced the show itself.
Photography, photo retouching, design and event promotion.
13. Adrian Krygowski
“ Hope for us”
In everyone’s life, there is a musician. This album, written and
performed by one of my close friends, is the embodiment of
the musician in each listener’s life. I wanted to convey the
recipe of rock and roll, acoustic guitar and a dash of country
western in the deconstructed wonderland he occupies.
Concept development, photo retouching, album layout and
design, print coordination.
