The US Postal Service, requesting a traditional Victorian motif, I had no idea
one of these manipulated antique ephemera post card images would become the
best selling stamp in the history of the United States. Selling an astounding 4.6
billion stamps, the Midnight Angel image alone pulled the postal service out of
the red and into the black, for the first time in its history.

This Logo won an Addy Award in 2007
When a design firm asks me to do a logo and an identity make-over for them,
I consider it a great compliment. Marketing and design is J. Brenlin Design’s forté,
and they loved the solutions. I produced their logo, corporate ID and web site.

With the purchase of a brand new Variable Data Press and all digital on-demand print-
ing capabilities, Inland Color Graphics realized their printing technologies had catapulted
into the 21st century and yet they had a 70s logo and sales approach. The campaign and
marketing strategies echo ICG’s commitment to fast and excellent service, yet maintain
their love of color and fine printing.

This product catagory was a new direction for Brush Dance. Being a Mind, Body, Spirit, greeting
card company that was looking to expand, I chose Bath and Body as a new direction for them.

card line, organic soaps and a peaceful presentaion
suitable for gift giving.

Mind, Body, Spirit / Concept & Packaging for Brush Dance
Within the bath and body line, I came up with the concept of putting herbs for the
bath in Giant Tea bags. I kept the Eastern look that I had developed in the bar soap
packaging, as it evoked a sense of calm & incorporated a greeting from the card line.

had a quote from the card line that suited the purpose of the mineral salts

Trio conceptualized and implemented with the Gwich’in Nation an ongoing vigil in Washington DC
that generated press, awareness and understanding about this human rights issue to thousands of
people. The public lands of the Arctic Refuge are under attack by the current administration under
the guise as an energy and security necessity. Drilling will never lower the price of oil at the pump.
As well as the environmental and wildlife devastation, drilling in the public lands of the Arctic Refuge
will desecrate the Gwich’in’s traditional way of life..
