This was the first 3D render concept I created in my career — a full pallet display for Blue Buffalo, designed for PetSmart. Out of multiple concepts, mine was selected for mass production, which was an exciting milestone early on in my journey as a designer.

I designed this Watch Face for Garmin’s new AMOLED display on the Tactix 7. At the time, creating Watch Faces wasn’t part of my role — but I saw an opportunity, took the initiative, and my design was selected. It was a rewarding chance to push beyond my usual scope and contribute to something new.

This display is a great example of the kind of challenge I often faced in the POP industry: “Here’s what we’ve got — can you create a rendering to help sell it?” I thrived in these fast-paced moments, using detailed 3D renderings to help our Sales Team bring ideas to life and win over clients.

I’ve collaborated with a lot of big brands over the years, and this was a fun one with Monster Energy. I didn’t create the artwork, but I took what they sent over and built out a full rendering concept to help visualize the display in action.

There’s something about designing a logo and business card that feels like going back to the roots — simple on the surface, but deeply important. It’s one of my favorite kinds of work, and also one of the most challenging: taking the vision someone has in their head, and finding a way to shape it into something real, meaningful, and uniquely theirs.

This was one of those projects I really enjoyed — pulling logos from a bunch of different brands, rendering over 50 products, designing the final artwork… and then having Walmart pick my concept for mass production? Pretty awesome.

It was fast, detailed, a little chaotic — and totally my kind of challenge. A solid reminder of how pulling all the pieces together can lead to something big.

Wedding stationery — it seems simple enough, right? Until you’re designing for a bride navigating the beautiful chaos of wedding planning. It can definitely be a challenge… but honestly, it’s one I love.

There’s something so rewarding about capturing a couple’s vibe and turning it into something tangible and meaningful. If I could have my own little stationery shop one day — brick and mortar, custom suites, the whole thing — I absolutely would.

Any investors? ;)

Ahh, who doesn’t love pie?

I designed this menu for a local pie shop I worked at when I turned 30. At the time, I needed a break from being behind a screen — a reset back to my creative core. And honestly, nothing gets the ideas flowing like flour, butter, and a little chaos.

I started as a Pie Hustler (yes, that was the actual title), but I was lucky enough to jump in on some design work while I was there. This menu was one of my favorite projects — a sweet reminder that creativity can show up anywhere.

Speaking of sweets… craving pecans, anyone?

This was a fun packaging concept I designed for a brand you’ve probably seen on shelves once or twice. The goal? Capture that rich New Orleans heritage and make you crave what’s inside.

Did it work? You tell me.

Did I mention I love stationery design?

When your best friend asks for a Minnie Mouse-themed card — but you’d rather not get a cease and desist — you get creative. This was a fun challenge in finding that inspired-by look without stepping into copyright trouble.

Because sometimes, design is just a little problem-solving in polka dots.

Local beer, anyone?

Designing for a hometown brand is always a good time — especially when you get to put your own creative spin on it.

The Radler was a refreshing twist on the classic mix of beer and lemonade, so… why not turn the display into a full-on lemonade stand?

One of my favorite POP displays to date — local, lighthearted, and just the right amount of quirky.

Don’t go underestimating stationery design!

This was such a fun project from start to finish. I loved seeing all the printed pieces come together and even created a photoshoot using real lavender from my garden. It really showed off my hands-on style — as every set was hand-wrapped (by me) in twine with a fresh sprig of lavender tied into the bow.

There’s nothing like that calming burst of fragrance when you open the envelope. The bride loved it — and honestly, so did I.

I’ve been a camper and outdoor enthusiast since I was old enough to explore creek beds on my own.

So when the chance to design for Coleman came my way, I wasn’t about to disappoint. I took on the entire look — designing, choosing the stock photography, and laying out the endcap. And the best part? It went straight to production.

This concept was all mine to run with — just pull from the product's colors and let the creativity flow. Unlike the temporary cardboard displays I was used to, this one needed to stick around for a while, which brought new (and exciting) challenges. The final design turned out bold, bright, and full of flavor… just like the wine it was made for.

An internal passion project for Garmin — work within brand standards, use what you’ve got, and make it meaningful (and built to last). I designed a full series of magnets for an internal team, celebrating everything from yearly anniversaries and peer recognition to intern and mentor moments. A small project with a lot of heart.
