Save the Whales

Upon learning about the horrific whaling practices still taking place under "scientific" parameters in Japan, this graphic was created and donated to the Save the Whales organization along with permission to use it in any way possible to increase awareness or fundraising.

Combining the silhouette of the planet's most peaceful creature with one of the most recognizable symbols of peace, this graphic creates a powerful impression with an easily understandable message.

Save the Whales was founded in 1977 by Maris Sidenstecker, then only 14 years old. The purpose of Save the Whales is to educate the public, especially children, about marine mammals and the fragile ocean environment.

This mark has already appeared within the Summer 2009 newsletter.

Woodbridge Redesign

Drawing from the rich history of the Cherokee Wine Association, which was purchased by Robert Mondavi in 1979, this redesign draws conceptual inspiration from the details of the US Prohibition.

The prescription stub, which protrudes from the bottle, works to attract the customers eye while providing a history of the Woodbridge vineyard, UPC code, and government warning. This stub is perforated, just as it would have been on an authentic prescription certificate, allowing the customer to detach the stub for future reference.



Chardonnay Copy: Woodbridge Wine exists today due to the resolve of the American farmer. During the U.S. Prohibition of 1920, the only legal way of purchasing alcohol was by medical
prescription. This in turn lead to the creation of the Cherokee Wine Association, a co-op of California farmers who banded together to distribute their grapes nation wide.

In 1979, Robert Mondavi purchased the Cherokee Wine Association, renaming it Woodbridge and ensuring its survival for years to come.

Today Woodbridge Chardonnay mixes those grapes with a fresh citrus, apple, tropical fruit, and hints of orange blossom and spice.

Green Drinks Logo

As one of the many designers hoping to steer the world in a more eco-friendly direction, I recently volunteered to create a logo for the Stillwater, OK, Green Drinks. What Green Drinks is, is an after work happy hour where eco-minded people meet on a monthly basis to discuss environmental issues.


The result of this project is the combination of an olive, commonly recognized in association with alcohol related activities, and the carbon finger print that each of us leave behind. The Green Drinks copy is set in all lower case in order to appear more inviting and the two words are distinguishable through the use of varying colors.

The newest project of my freelancing endeavors was the redesign of fowlersculpture.com. The artist, Roge Fowler, had a very specific look in mind at the beginning of this project and did a great job of conveying his vision to me while staying open to my interpretations.

The most important goal of the site's redesign was to present the artwork in a clean professional manner without competing for attention. In order to make the site as search-engine friendly as possible, I also chose to use as much live text as possible.
