Book Cover Design for Penguin Random House Student Design Award

This book cover design was created for the Penguin Random House Student Design competition. While it did not win, it did make the shortlist in the children’s book category. As a book lover, working on books is a dream come true.

Children’s Book Design and Illustration

I had the opportunity to illustrate and design this wonderful children’s book. Developing a consistent illustration style was a very rewarding challenge. You can find the book below.

Riata Ranch Boutique Logo and Brand Design

For this brand, warm colors and details reminiscent of leather tooling were used to create a Cowgirl aesthetic. For a little shop that sells handmade cowgirl accessories, a feminine and western feel will help communicate with their customers who they are and what they sell.

Free Range Floral Logo and Brand Design

For this charming Floral brand, we created a custom color palette based off of one of their lovely wedding bouquets. They wanted a logo that inspired couples who wanted to get married in the mountains of Montana to choose them for floral design.

Bridger Mountain Honey Co. Brand and Package Design

The design for this Honey Company was created to be reusable and stand out on the shelf from all of the brown paper packaged honey. The design features a honeycomb inspired wrap-around label for a mason jar, which can be reused and comes with a trial bees wrap for preserving food. The natural color palette and playful patterns give a cohesive feel to the brand, uniting the various honey-related items the company makes.
