The ask was to create a look and feel for Target Maui Pro's Surf Competiton. I utilized iconic Hawaii hibiscus flowers and 60's patterning for a familiar ocean-front feel.

While working at Sevnthsin, I was tasked with designing an updated app layout for one of our clients. The program was a social networking app that focused on meeting people, and finding deals at nearby bars in the user's area. The user would scroll down, and bars would populate in order of closest proximity to the user. Bars, matches, and deals were color coded for quick reading and comprehension, so the user could scroll quickly and get the information they needed.

The client requested a drawer function, which we used as an information filter, and a place to access the heat map where the user could get an overhead view of the information.

This was done while working at Target. We were tasked with coming up with our own on-trend design for the Target employee store. 

These were posters created for Rush River Brewing Company, for their Small Axe Golden Ale, Lost Arrow Porter, The Unforgiven Amber Ale.

During my internship at Westwerk, I was tasked with designing the KingSolutions Intranet; an internal website to be used and seen by employees only. The parameters required me to follow existing brand guidelines, but also to make the site aesthetically unique from their external website that clients would use.

During my time at Sevnthsin, we worked with an amazing client called Urban Organics who was trying to promote hydroponic gardening as a means of growing community, and helping a city become self-sustaining with locally grown food.

Our goal was to generate interest in the idea of hydroponic gardening, and how it could help eliminate food deserts, and help revitalize communities. Our method was to design a parallax web narrative, where the user would scroll down to activate small animations and short informational popups. I illustrated all of the scenes and assets, and helped storyboard the main narrative. Below are some sample screen shots of the site. Check out the live site here: http://urbanorganics.com/home/

This was created for use on kiosks at the MN State Fair. I worked with a UX designer to create an intuitive user-flow, then developed a friendly, easy to use UI based off of Totino's branding. Using in-house created software, the user could morph their face and their friends' faces together, or use a variety of different illustrated sticker assets I created to place over their photo. The user would then be prompted to share on social media.

I was tasked with coming up with a central hub for Target's Indy and Nascar Team. Traffic will be driven to the hub from televised commercials, as well as external banner advertisements. Users would be able to view alternate endings of commercials from TV. Users can also view stats on their favorite driver, and view their driver's schedule for the 2015 season.

This was a Sacramento based campaign to help parents easily get all of their kids' school supplies at once. Parents can log into their account online, and load up their cart with supplies; then they can pick up the supplies in-store with a free reusable Target bag. These print adverts were designed for the local newspaper to promote this campaign. I used school supply photography, as well as paper textures to create a whimsical, fun feeling for back-to-school.

A collection of logos and marks I've worked on.

This is a self-directed concept I developed for the hearing aid company Miracle Ear, while working with Initio Advertising in Minneapolis. The idea centered around a Hearing Loss Awareness Campaign. The objective was to raise awareness of the Miracle Ear brand among teen and college aged consumers and their baby boomer parents, by using the brand as a vehicle to raise awareness of Noise Induced Hearing loss from MP3 players, concerts and other loud environments. 

My secondary objective was to de-stigmatize hearing loss, and the purchasing of hearing aids as being an "old person's problem" among the elderly. I achieved this by directing the campaign in a more youthful design sense; to help educate people with hearing loss and make them feel comfortable considering a hearing aid purchase.

These pieces were made to include special promotional products in conjunction with different holidays. They premiered on Target's Facebook page.

While interning at Westwerk, I designed different concepts for the InDesign Secrets website. This was the final chosen concept. My goal was to make usability intuitive, as we had to work within the contraints of a busy, magazine style layout. I decided on a bare bones color pallet, and emphasized simplicity to help unify a design that might have been hard to read with several different advertisements.

This is an iPad app I designed for the rice and grain company Indian Harvest (now InHarvest) while working with Initio Advertising. My goal was to create the digital look and feel of the brand that captured their personality, as well as set the design standard for their digital and print publications, to make them bright and inviting. This app is intended to be used at trade shows, to help IH employees present company information to potential clients in their four different market segments.

Various illustrative work.
