Graphic Design and Illustration

Our talented friend, David Solmes, recently started a new landscape design business and we did his website. Check it out, especially if you need some landscaping done!

Recently created this logo for my friends over at Hostelling International.

Here is the final logo for a new green online store. The owner, Tawnia, was a gem to work with. She has great taste, a very valuable (and sometimes rare) quality in a client.

Here is the logo that got approved for Scott & Elijah Associates. They had a pretty clear idea of what they wanted, and yet they also were very open to my creative touches, so I’m happy with the way the project worked out. Very nice guys, too, if you need a mortgage! Contact me for more info on them if you do.

I recently finished the identity for an exciting project called Community, an affordable “brand” of urban properties created by L.W.P. Group. This is a really cool concept that Greg Strangman (owner/developer of Onyx Room, Thin, and the Pearl Hotel among other things) came up with to help urbanize San Diego, in a good way. If you want to read more about Community, go here.

I got to put what I learned completing my thesis to the test with this one. At first, the client was mostly interested in a typographic logo. But when I added the bird to the mark, we all agreed it made it much more appealing. I chose the bird because birds are communal animals, so I thought it was appropriate.

This was designed for a wonderful pet sitter in the Los Angeles area.

This logo and business design was created for a skin care and massage center.

This was created as part of a trade agreement that was never fulfilled on the other end, but I still like the design.

Logo and business card design.

An old one, but I still like it.
