Graphic Design
A lot of my work in Graphic Design is very clean with big impact. One of my favorite things to do is clean up the branding in companies. I have done this with most of my jobs including Alera, Calculated Industries, and rebranding the University of Nevada Reno as an Art Director.

One of the highlights of my career was rebranding the University of Nevada, Reno. Every department was running their own graphics with all different logos and graphics materials. I had a one-year contract to fix all graphic materials, website and all physical assets throughout the school. It was very stressful but rewarding! I had a main boss that I reported to but had to make 20 to 25 department heads happy. Very difficult but it was a great time. Today they still use a lot of the designs that my team made.
Alera Group
Alera Group is a national insurance broker and financial services firm. When I worked for them, they would buy out a lot of companies, and my job was to rebrand everyone into the fold.
Calculated Industries
Calculated Industries is a construction product company. I did a lot of product packaging that would get sent to China to be sold on Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowes. The AirShim was definitely the most successful products I ever done. We were unsure if the product would sale, so they tested me out to try and sale it. After a few fun videos, we made a few million off that product. This product is still sold today!
SPORK!
Spork, the ultimate eating utensil! This project won me “Best in Show” by business professionals at the Art Institute of Minnesota. I put this in my portfolio to show a bit more of an “artsy” piece!
Random Graphic Design Projects
I have done a lot of freelance work that is more diverse than the companies I worked for. Here are some random fun Graphic Design projects I have done!
