This collection of small, quick projects and explorations will continue to grow as it's where I’ll throw anything that doesn't require its own section. My favorite thing about being a freelance designer is the variety and randomness of the projects that come my way.

Quick concept work for agency pitches? Sure. Packaging design? Count me in! Annual reports for a non-profit helping to save giraffes from extinction? Done! Etc. Etc. (and very happily) Etc.

Gold star if you can make it to the end :)

I’ve been lucky enough to have been asked to design logos for everything from a potential presidential campaign to businesses owned by friends - btw: one of those pays more than the other. I've included some of the process work for a couple of these as usually to get 1 logo I’ll design 50.

I spent a little over a year freelancing with a local agency formerly known as Mass Relevance that specialized in helping brands drive real-time social engagement through social curation and integration.

Long story short, I came up with creative ways to visually display social media’s reaction to events & products on every sized screen you can imagine.

This is a small % of the work created. Very small :)

Lucky is the designer who gets a client asking if they can design everything from the ground up: logo design, branding design, website design, apparel design, style guide design, swag design, and so on. #lucky

Swaghub allows customers to quickly create custom design catalogs of their swag and launch their own store on the same day, handling orders from one to many.

I love designing posters, but unfortunately don’t get to do it enough. If you need a poster designed and have anything in between a huge budget or no budget please reach out!

* huge budget - call

**no budget - email

Collaboration with local Austin agency T3 for J. Crew, where I explored different takes on the visual design and presentation of products while intertwining story to give a sense of history.

The kind folks at Openstack asked me to design the graphics package for their tech summit in Vancouver, BC. It’s really amazing to have thousands of people meet twice a year at different places around the world and spend 5 days walking through an experience you designed.

The Vancouver Summit was housed in a former Olympic Media venue which is now a convention center. The summit’s design echos the venue’s angular modern design and also gives a strong visual tip of the hat to Vancouver’s incredible natural surroundings and wildlife.

In total I designed 6 summits for the fine folks at Openstack over 3 years. Each design celebrated the host city and as an unwritten rule, was to look nothing like a tech summit.

Logo in the center of a tshirt? Not interested. I want to design something unique that tells a client’s story in a way that inspires their community to say “This is who I am” by proudly wearing it. I still smile when I see someone wearing something I’ve designed in public… then I quickly look away because they’re uncomfortable with a smiling stranger staring at them. :)

My basic approach to designing a site for international artist, photographer and explorer, Guadalupe Laiz was to honor her amazing collection of work by mostly getting out of the way. The result is a clean and modern identity and online presence that can grow along with her as she travels the world capturing images.

Tech Summit hosted in Beantown? Has to be sports themed right? The venue was, shall we say, slightly dated, so we opted for a retro feel for the graphics. It was an incredible amount of fun, and I still can't believe I was paid to design it.

UI design project commissioned by Sapient for Digicel, a Jamaican and Caribbean mobile phone network. Of course you want to sell mobile plans and products, but I also wanted the design to reflect the vibrancy of the people and culture the provide service to.

 My approach to designing all the summits for OpenStack involved delving into research about the host city and extracting a potential theme that reflects its personality. Because Austin is my hometown, I had a clear vision of what this should entail from the very beginning. Since OpenStack is based in Austin and had its first summit here, I envisioned a scenario of a band returning after years on the road. It was so much fun creating hand-drawn silk-screened looking flyers for super complex tech presentations.

SCANA is an energy-based holding company that has brought power and fuel to homes in the Carolinas and Georgia for 160 years.

*This was designed for a user experience group based in South Carolina called Truematter, which was founded by the fella who gave me my first job out of college.

Probably the nicest organization I’ve ever worked with. Braustin Homes is an affordable home dealer based in San Antonio. Porch Pass is a separate business they started to help families that might not normally qualify for a traditional mortgage get into a home they can call their own while cutting the number of days the process normally takes in half.

If you’re like me, you didn’t grow up dreaming of breaking into the project management game as a kid. These cats in New Zealand did though, and luckily they asked me to design some stuff. Like, a lot of stuff….Including a determined flightless kiwi as their mascot & spirit animal.
