2023 recap in logos. Even though some are missing due to a bigger plans, and some of these logos were not designed by me, these brands are all part of my circle. It means more than I can express to work with the talented humans founding and growing these companies. Thanks for a very rewarding year!

Another recap, but in illustrations? Donât mind if I do!
Last year was filled with a variety of styles and over 100 illustrations for companies throughout the west. I enjoy the challenge of finding unique ways to express information similar to others in the market in a new way, so it catches your eye and makes you stay a little longer, remember what youâre looking at, and recognize it again, as the brand continues to show up.
Thanks to all of the companies who allowed me to get artistic with their brands!

Talking about everybody elseâs business and what they do: EASY. Doing the same for mine: OVERWHELMING. I want to touch all things brand-related to make everybodyâs business more successful. Where do I begin to make it comprehensible, when every brand demands a custom solution?
If you would like to work together, send me a message! If you know of a brand who might benefit from art and design solutions, please introduce us! We can find custom solutions to ensure the vision you had for your business is relayed to your customers, bringing them back again and again.
Thank you @inspirecreative.co for compiling this! A special thanks to @madre_boutique_taqueria , @floscbdoil , and @brittanykelleyphoto for trusting me to design for you and for it being so cool, we showed it here.
Last month marked a sweet milestone with @ambersallay officially stepping in as the new host for CreativeMornings Poulsbo! đ
After 3 years of building our chapter, connecting the community, and sharing the best Friday mornings with new and old friends, Iâm so happy to pass the baton.
In that time, CM Poulsbo has grown to:
⨠400+ community members claiming Poulsbo as their chapter
đ An incredible team making the magic happen, leading connections, and and bringing everyone together
đ 15+ reliable day-of volunteers
đ˛ 900+ followers across socials
â 20+ local sponsors generously helping to host, feed, and caffeinate our guests
Thank you to everyoneâlocally and globallyâwho has been part of this journey. No words can illustrate how special it is to be a part of something built on the generosity and care experienced every month.
What I can say: everyone needs to go experience the magic for themselves, no matter whether you consider yourself a morning person or not. đ
Creating illustrations for a brand requires iterations and exploration to figure out the best angles, level of detail, and overall content. Figuring out the right expression for this doggo has been one of my favorites yet! When the client came back saying, âBoxers always have their tongue out. He needs his tongue out.â I happily went back to sketching.
@visitotk has a full graphic library to connect to their space, menu, and backstory. In addition to a full logo identity system and a growing photo library, the opportunities for storytelling and marking brand elements are endless!
Old Town Kitchen is a new brand taking over an old spot on the block. Located in Old Town Silverdale, OTK is a Kitsap destination with a fully-curated menu and space inviting you to stay awhile while you sample the from-scratch menu. Born from the simple love of hosting, OTK is bringing people together around the table for the best moments of slowing down, enjoying company, and savoring something delightful.
Branding Old Town Kitchen began with the strategy and the messaging, moved to the visual identity and custom illustrations, made complete with brand assets like their newly launched website, social media, and more. Weâve enjoyed diving deep into what shapes Old Town Kitchen and its growing community in order to show it off and invite more to join.
Consider this your invitation to stop by anytime this week. Better yet, join us April 25th for Old Town Kitchenâs ribbon cutting. We hope to see you there!
Logo rebrand for @wingmanperformance . Inspired not only by the running roots of Coach Jena and her athletes, we found an opportunity the create a brain and connect to the mindsets that are taking strong athletes even further. The curvilinear symbol is built from a âWâ and an âM,â connecting to the name and its founders directly, allowing this mark to be layered in storytelling.
Our brainstorm process is extensive and messier than this photo lets on. Brainstorming for SDC involves saving inspiration, researching, and sketching too many ideas in order to fully explore every opportunity. With every new idea sketch and potential direction, weâre considering what the larger brand story is and how the customer will be involved to building a greater narrative over time. Stepping back to consider the different ideas like you see here allows us to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each possible direction before sharing the refined few with the client.
Let us explore a new logo identity for your brand.
New and familiar faces, sleepy shuffles quickly turning into dance-party set-ups and big grins greeting everybody, plus the best hugs before hearing updates on what weâve missed in the past month.
Kyle Lobisser reminded us, âWhere you spend your money matters. How you invest, build, or use matters.â What businesses and individuals are you supporting? Have you considered the domino effect of one small purchase?
Ashley Oaksmith shared with us that some of her best opportunities came from somebody else saying to her, âYes and you can.â Is there somebody in your circle who needs to hear the same message? Perhaps somebody who needs a thank you for sharing that extra push to you?
Thank you to not only the Kitsap CreativeMorning-ers who make this room come alive each month and continue to take the magic out into our communities, but to all CreativeMorning-ers across the globe.
Thank you to @vibecoworks@oxalis@CreativeMorning@librofm@visitkitsappeninsula and so many more, who invest in @cmpoulsbo and our community every month. It matters!
@preferredtransportation is Hawaii's leading full-service transportation company, based on the Island of Oahu. We hand-illustrated designs to show off their iconic fleet against gorgeous island backgroundsâcapturing the spirit of their brand in every detail. Swipe to see them all.
Born from the mixture of yellow and red, Orange holds the best of each color: warmth and joy. Known as a positive and energizing color, Orange offers an uplifting vibe when presented as a lighter hue or a cozy and comforting vibe when darker. Fresh, vibrant, and eye-catching in all the right ways.
Anne Roche Coaching underwent a brand refresh this year and weâre as obsessed with the logo as we are with Anne herself. Sheâs both understanding and will call you on your BS, helping you discover whatâs holding you back and how to grow into the next best version of you.
The logo identity mark represents that guiding path connecting her clients to their future growth. ARC is committed to helping clients navigate past experiences and gain tools for their journey ahead. The upward-right arrow symbolizes progress, clarity, and optimism. The wordmark is set in a bold, sans-serif font to reflect ARCâs direct and practical approach to finding each clientâs path. With a balance of sharp angles and smooth curves, the font represents the rewarding blend of hard work and joy as solutions emerge.
