Miscellaneous Projects

Welcome to my blog! Here I share my smaller projects - favorites that don’t make the portfolio and projects that mark my professional development. I also include reflections on lessons learned, and other non-visual and business process projects.

2022 Thanksgiving Social Media Post

This short animation for LinkedIn was easily my favorite project of 2022. It was my first experience with traditional animation, which required thinking in some new ways, and a fun exercise in drawing the suggestion of various foods.

Hawaiian Electric West Loch Ribbon cutting event

Created for the debut of the West Loch Solar project. I modeled it on the Cal Poly tote, in purple. The emblem is a sun with rays, rising over Diamond Head as seen from the project across the bay - indicated by the waters / leaf.

The ribbon-cutting was followed by a sponsored happy hour.

Solar Power International Private Event Dinner

REC Solar’s approach to conventions was to host a private dinner for customers and potential customers: one such dinner was held at The Rest in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was tasked with creating a physical invitation (above), a digital invitation, an appreciation note, and coasters (below)

As drawings were beginning to be worked into our identity, I made one of the street view of The Rest, which was featured on the day-of directions.
