Current Project: Graphic Design + Creative Lead
In 2022, I was contacted by The Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council (MBCAC) to help with some graphic design work for their annual HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours event. With over 180 artists participating at more than 130 studios over three weekends, this is Southern California’s largest open studio art tour. I was initially tasked with creating a print map detailing the participating art studios and sponsors, but the role quickly evolved into creating all graphic design deliverables for the 2022 and 2023 events, followed by an official promotion to Design + Creative Lead in 2024.
Key deliverables each year include a 100-page print catalog + hand-illustrated map insert, along with other event print collateral such as brochures, pamphlets, postcards, and roadside banners. You can browse some samples below.

book COVER DESIGN
More than a simple layout project, this cover was created from scratch to match the mood and look specified by the author. Design work included extensive photo editing prior to layout for digital and print, as seen in the Before/After image slider below.
Print Layout: Final Cover Flat for Print
A consistent look was key to the design process.
Because this novel was a sequel, the author was after a consistent look across both covers in the series, incorporating the same typography and a similar color palette, but in reverse. Covers side-by-side.
LOGO DESIGN & Branding

PACKAGING Systems & PRINT DESIGN
From product labels to boxes to supplemental merchandising such as stickers and buttons, I’ve done it all. Below are just a few examples of some recent packaging systems and print design work. (More samples available upon request.)

DESIGN & branding PACKAGEs
This is an example of a package I put together for a small health food store. It included logo design and delivery of files in all necessary formats, brand design guide to help the business adhere to a uniform aesthetic, various print ads, business cards, in-store signage, plus simple merch items. Some clients opt for large-scale event signage and other elements such as web graphics. Each package is completely tailorable to the unique needs of your business!
Corporate Print production & Layout
I spent four years as the lead graphic designer and communications specialist at Honeywell on the Global Sales Operations team. During this time, I worked closely with the marketing teams to ensure that the Honeywell brand was represented clearly and cohesively. A significant part of my role included large event work and all the associated print collateral, from name badges and on-site signage to hard copy schedules and event catalogs + brochures. This role required extensive experience in offset and digital printing technologies, as well as in-depth knowledge of color management and production strategy. My performance was driven by quality control including accuracy, organization, and attention to detail from prepress to final product.
