I love creating branding packages. I enjoyed the stamped foil hangtag I created for Dharma Charms Kharma Beads. The client was open to a really fun, hand-drawn approach that fits with the brushiness of her logo. The line work in the design turned out great and I think is a unique approach to using our stamped foil products.<\/p>\n

I love getting the opportunity to design pieces for the sample packs we send out to customers. In general, we are really encouraged to push the limits of design and find unexpected ways to show off the product.<\/p>\n
My most recent design was for our 14pt pearlescent stock. We commonly see this used for wedding invitations, bridal showers, that kind of thing. I thought it would be fun to take it another direction and came up with a dark, funky, colorful way to showcase what this paper could do.<\/p>\n

I also loved creating the materials for our family farm business Alexander Acres.<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about print design?<\/h3>\n
I love the feel of physical objects: paintings with texture, sculptures that you can hold in your hand, art that makes you an active participant. Designing printed pieces (versus digital art) is kind of like that. From the different papers, we offer to the special processes like Spot UV or foil; all these things make a printed piece interactive and tactile. It opens up a whole new dimension to the artistic process that has been super fun to explore.<\/p>\n
