Challenges

Selected Projects

01 / Brand Identity

The Hawk Nest

Acquiring a new, state-of-the-art recording studio, the Las Positas College Music Department decided they needed a new visual identity.

The task was to develop a symbol that communicated the department’s spirit and professionalism, preserved the original concept, and created a cleaner, more recognizable modern identity designed to scale across signage, merchandise, and digital applications.

02 / Brand Identity

Paniolo Grill

A handcrafted restaurant identity blending Hawaiian ranch culture, rustic typography, and local island-inspired hospitality.

03 / Brand Identity

Bottomline Clothing Co.

A luxury-inspired fashion identity balancing sharp editorial typography and contemporary streetwear influences.

04 / Brand Identity

Tips & Sips

A playful beauty and cocktail concept pairing bold typography, luxury aesthetics, and a fun, attention-grabbing splash of color.

05 / Brand Identity

Oasis Afterhours

A nightlife brand identity for a Greco-Roman-inspired Mediterranean escape, where high-energy color, expressive typography, and immersive hospitality visuals meet after dark.
