I've been collaborating with my childhood friend Carrie Cramer for years. She is a creative powerhouse in her own right. While she longs for maximum sparkle and unicorns, I push her branding in a minimal, high-end direction. It's been a debate for years. Here we found the perfect compromise for her playful yet stylish jewelry line.
Here's a selection of logos. I lean towards minimalist, high impact designs. A logo is the first step to creating the foundation of a brand.

Some of my favorite projects have been for Loree Rodkin. She is an enigmatic designer who challenges the creative spirit in all who work with her. Our shoots are always inspiring, edgy and creatively charged.

Dr. Jory’s desire to bring innovative health care to a wider audience required research and full rebranding to set the tone for his modern, medicinal practice rooted in ancient principles.

Gray Gallery was an exercise in duality: rough vs. smooth, soft vs. strong, bold vs. subtle. It was a challenge to convey this dance of opposites in their branding. Interiors, objects, functional art, and jewelry inspire what I do, this was a perfect marriage of designer and client.
