Commissioned Projects
Findley Bros. Brewing
Logo & Label Design | Wedding Favors
Commissioned by a bride-to-be, this mini brand package involved developing a brand identity for Findley Brothers Brewing, a homebrewing hobby shared by the groom and his brother.
The brief called for a logo design that incorporated three specific elements into its starting letter: a wheat stalk, a hops plant, and a fishhook. Most important was a set of labels that could be used for their wedding favors: a four-pack of the groom’s standout brews, each tied to a meaningful chapter in their relationship.
Each of the four beer labels was carefully designed to complement the color of its intended bottle cap, and to reflect the mood and narrative of its brew name. Hand-drawn central motifs included subtle nods to the bride and groom: a pair of cordiform leaves for the Oktoberfest lager; a home with heart-shaped chimney smoke for New House Stout; wedding bells engraved with the couple's initials and a "something blue"-themed color palette for Wedding Day IPA.
Combining digital design tools with hand-lettering and hand drawn elements (also visible in the vintage-inspired brand logo), this project exemplifies emotional branding on a micro scale—merging storytelling, symbolism, and visual cohesion to create a deeply personal product experience with lasting impact.
Aspiring Reptilian Overlord Tote
Illustration & Merch Design | Custom Apparel
This tongue-in-cheek design was commissioned as a gift for a reptile lover and proud bearded dragon owner. The brief called for something playful, niche, and a little absurd. The final black-and-white vector illustration features the phrase “Aspiring Reptilian Overlord” above a stylized Masonic pyramid and an all-seeing lizard’s eye—an homage to the iconography of the U.S. one dollar bill and the enduring “lizard people” conspiracy theory.
Executed in fine-line vector style for crisp, scalable reproduction, the design was originally printed on a tote bag but built with versatility in mind. By request, it’s ready to be adapted across shirts, hoodies, or other lifestyle merch for friends and family ready to join this client's cold-blooded cabal.
