African Wildlife Mailer
The illustration is made from a linoleum block cut where a print was pulled and colorized digitally. The imagery which depicts an endangered African wild dog was utilized as an eye-catching campaign to support the African Wildlife Foundation. They work to protect Africa’s most threatened species, so I worked to create a piece that would gain attention and support for the foundation by standing out through color and imagery.

Chili Bowl Event Branding
The Milwaukee Chili Bowl is a tasty annual event where top restaurants and chefs come to compete. For Milwaukee’s 14th annual Chili Bowl the goal was to create a bold and exiting brand identity with an emphasis on fun. To help accomplish this a bright color palette was chosen and playful illustrations were made. For the logo, inspiration was pulled from Super Bowl logos in order to play up the Chili Bowl name and the spirt of the competition. After being the designer and illustrator of the logo, illustrations, and postcard I then stepped into the role of art director where I directed Faith Ginn, who acted as the designer and production artist, on the billboard, web ad and Instagram square.
