  2. Oliver Printing Company

    Last fall, I was delighted to (once again) team up with my friends at Oliver Printing Company on the design of their thirty-second annual clambake materials.

    Embracing their impeccable craft, I created a set of sea-worthy event materials including a foil stamped invitation, a gable style favor box (custom crafted from green foil board, featuring spot UV coating) and a set of whimsical buttons to share with guests.

  3. Pint-Sized Treats

    Happy (almost) New Year friends! I’m back in the studio after a lovely and low-key holiday and sharing a snippet of my last project of the year—a pint-sized holiday treat the mister and I made for loved ones. Each tin contains a tasting of our homemade caramel corn and a festive one color label (beautifully pressed by Cleanwash Letterpress).

  8. Vinegar for Good

    When my friends at Tavern Vinegar Co. asked me if I was interested in designing a special edition vinegar label, I was immediately in! Not only was Chef Jonathon Sawyer incorporating my favorite ingredient, 100% of the proceeds would benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and the Vetri Foundation for Children. I quickly got to work and here’s the result; printed by Colleen Wash of Philadelphia’s Cleanwash Letterpress.


    Last but not least, I am happy to report Team Sawyer and his tasty vinegar were in Philadelphia earlier this week, raising over $1 million at the 7th Annual Great Chefs Event! 

    I created the identity and label system for Jonathon and his wife Amelia’s Tavern Vinegar Co. earlier this spring; you see a snippet of it here

  10. Down memory lane…

    Late nights, evening snacks and lots of deadlines, take me right back to college. I spent my early twenties attending Kent State University living with some pretty wonderful roomies (one of which I married). Our late night snack of choice, toast. Why? Because it’s cheap! 

    P.S. This little illustration is a snippet from a project I am working on. Stayed tuned for more!
