Proerba 2019

I had the pleasure of working with the company Proerba, with their rebranding and designing of their labels for the new set of products this year. The gallery to the right displays the sets of products starting with the salts (Dream, Serenity, and Mojo), then the oils (Full Spectrum and Zero), followed by the relief cream Tranquility.

Decoding Pelvic Pain - Lavonne Pineda D.C. 2018

Dr. Pineda came to me in hopes that I would do some designs/illustrations for her chiropractic book Decoding Pelvic Pain. Having never done stuff like this before, I was up for the challenge. Ended up doing about ten different sets of anatomy drawings. The slide show to the left are a few samples of the work, you can see the rest of them by purchasing the book here.

Hermitage Brewing 2018

While at Hermitage Brewing, I was able to make some designs for their in-brewery can releases. With their bold but simple branding, I did something a little out of the ordinary for them in order to drive sales and highlight the importance of something that stands out on the shelf. Initially when asked to design them they decided to change the name for their Brut IPA the day of submission. So you will see two similar, but different labels based off of an adjective switch. When they originally gave me the "Radioactive Dandelion" I went for a dark yet glowing approach; that allowed the typography and graphics to be well balanced and to the point. With the "Psychedelic Dandelion" I wanted a groovy color scheme while maintaining a subtle sense of trippy-ness and simplicity, trying to avoid becoming a played out Grateful Dead poster. The second beer I did, was called "The Future is Hazy." Stepping away from the simplicity, and taking more of a creative-concept type direction in order to allow the consumer to be engaged with the story and not just the aesthetic. 

Hermitage also gave me a opportunity to help one of the Assistants there (Neal Fedora) with his MBA project that involved making a few labels for his beer he would showcase for his end of the program presentation. Living in Japantown in San Jose he named his "brewery" Japantown Brewing Co. He had a couple of beers he wanted labels for, the first being "Sake Bomb" barleywine. I wanted to keep the look simple based on the Japanese design, clean and breathable, while having some fun and referencing the proper chant for the Sake Bomb protocol. The second label for him was the "Machu Picchu" pale ale where while hiking he was motivated to pursue his passion of brewing. So I wanted to reference the sacred, spiritual land and make it bright and stand out as a prolific time that he had in his journey. 

Boise Brewing Company 2016

I had the pleasure of working with Boise Brewing in order to help launch their collaboration with Cafe Mule. I was asked to create a poster that also doubles as a tap handle, or label. From having a background in coffee and an appetite for craft, I was honored to be affiliated with the Cold Brew Coffee Stout. I also created a four piece acrylic painting series specifically for Boise Brewing all centered around the colors, and feeling of coffee (In Art Tab). You can check them out at Boise Brewery up until end of February. While you're there please try the beer, it's incredible! 

Cafe Mule is a really great idea that involves Richard the Mule delivering delicious coffee to specific trailheads, so that those who are enjoying the outdoors can also be served a great pick me up. I wanted to invoke dark stout-like colors that are also similar to cold brew. Using variations of browns in the background to create depth, while the top can be understood as the beginning of the head of the individual's journey through this flavorful, robust brew.

Motivo Data Analytics 2016

Motivo asked if I would like to design a couple different items for a presentation where they would be demonstrating their software to potential customers. An enticing banner, a postcard with the a crop of the banner on it, and some snazzy folders.
