The US Postal Service, requesting a traditional Victorian motif, I had no idea one of these manipulated antique ephemera post card images would become the best selling stamp in the history of the United States. Selling an astounding 4.6 billion stamps, the Midnight Angel image alone pulled the postal service out of

the red and into the black, for the first time in its history.Just doing my part for the U.S. Treasury...

Concept • Copy • Design & ProductionThis Star Wars Episode One ad highlights Lucas Film’s amazing

special effects division. Industrial Light and Magic’s nomination for the Academy Award’s Best Visual Effects category.

It ran in Cinefex and Variety magazine in the same design style — clean and classy.

Logo Design • Identity • Web DesignThis Logo won an Addy Award in 2007

When a design firm asks me to do a logo and an identity make-over for them,I consider it a great compliment. Marketing and design is J. Brenlin Design’s forté,

and they loved the solutions. I produced their logo, corporate ID and web site.

Logo Design • Identity • Web Design • Marketing CampaignWith the purchase of a brand new Variable Data Press and all digital on-demand print-

ing capabilities, Inland Color Graphics realized their printing technologies had catapulted into the 21st century and yet they had a 70s logo and sales approach. The campaign and marketing strategies echo ICG’s commitment to fast and excellent service, yet maintain

their love of color and fine printing. Check out icgcolor.com

Creative Direction • Design & ProductionA compendium of amazing people and organizations work tirelessly to Protect the Arctic Refuge. And they work together so well with the amazing help of the Alaska Wilderness League. This full-page color advocacy ad, back-

ground photo by S. Banerjee, speaks loud and clear against drilling in the Arctic Refuge. It ran in The Washington Post, The New York Times and Congress Daily, It elicited comments from seasoned newspaper professionals (“...really

one of the most compelling ads I’ve seen in a long time.”) to conservative neo-cons (“...big business ought to run ads like this...”). All of the groups that endorsed the ad — such as the Episcopal Church, Republicans for Environmental

Protection, to The Wilderness Society.

From sixcontinents andall fifty states, theirmigrations connect theseancestral breeding groundsto every person on the planet.To the Gwich’in Nation, it’s a humanrights issue. The Gwich’in depend onthe caribou for a subsistence way of life,a culture passed down since time immemorial.They call the Refuge “the sacred place wherelife begins.”

The same oil companies that are chalking up record profitswhile you pay record prices are trying to get Congress to handthem the Refuge too, by burying it in the budget bill. They thinkyou’re going to let them grab public land and destroy an irreplaceableecosystem and a native culture – forever.

Say NO to drilling in the Arctic Refuge. DEFEAT the budget reconciliation bill.Call your representatives and senators NOW. Get the numbers you need to make them hear.

1-888-894-5325

According to the latest data from the Department of Energy, if Congresslets the oil companies into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, you’ll

save a whopping penny a gallon at the pump. And of courseyou wouldn’t even see that penny until 2025. In the mean-

time, you get – well, nothing. Unless you count a toxicindustrial wasteland where there was once a

publicly owned national wildlife refuge.

Take note of that phrase, “publiclyowned.” Because the Arctic Refuge

is your Arctic Refuge. This place,called the “crown jewel of the

circumpolar north,” is homeand birthing ground for an

abundance of wildlife,from polar bears to the

massive PorcupineRiver caribou herd

to the millionsof birds that

migrate tothe Refuge.

Creative Direction • Design & ConceptMind, Body, Spirit / Soap Packaging for Brush Dance

This product catagory was a new direction for Brush Dance. Being a Mind, Body, Spirit, greetingcard company that was looking to expand, I chose Bath and Body as a new direction for them.This package was a big departure from thier usual look, here I used quotes from thier famous

card line, organic soaps and a peaceful presentaionsuitable for gift giving.

Creative Direction • Design & Product ConceptMind, Body, Spirit / Concept & Packaging for Brush Dance

Within the bath and body line, I came up with the concept of putting herbs for thebath in Giant Tea bags. I kept the Eastern look that I had developed in the bar soappackaging, as it evoked a sense of calm & incorporated a greeting from the card line.

Within the bath and body line we added “Energy Baths”, each interior packagehad a quote from the card line that suited the purpose of the mineral salts

contained within, weather it be invigorating, stress relief, romance etc.

Logo DesignTrio conceptualized and implemented with the Gwich’in Nation an ongoing vigil in Washington DC

that generated press, awareness and understanding about this human rights issue to thousands of people. The public lands of the Arctic Refuge are under attack by the current administration under the guise as an energy and security necessity. Drilling will never lower the price of oil at the pump.

As well as the environmental and wildlife devastation, drilling in the public lands of the Arctic Refuge will desecrate the Gwich’in’s traditional way of life..
