Wearable Designs

My designs do not have to be restricted to print media. I do a fair amount of designing for other mediums such as: promotional items, trade booths/signage, tshirts and web.My name tag. Name tags dont have to be the boring your name straight across with the logo at the top.... Make it interesting and people will remember you.
Tshirt Design. Using the flower from their logo, we created a soft cushy place for the world to be sitting. Tshirts were made in grey and purple, with this image silk-screen on the backside.

Button. Doctors are special people and their is a day dedicated just to them! A hospital wanted to recognize their doctors and how they make everyone feel with this magnetic button.


Corporate Outing. This image was used on mini punching bags, bags, tshirts, award certificates, power point presentations and keychains. The client loved the image so much, they paid to have it animated, what a great way to get your sales staff motivated.

Creative Thoughts : Where Do They Come From?

It never fails, the feeling I get when a satisfied client comes back for more. I am unsure where my ideas come from, although I am continually amazed at what triggers my creative thoughts; a billboard on the side of the road, an ad in a magazine, a comment from a client, a drawing from my 4 year old, an animated story told by a friend, the list is endless. My creative wheels are never at rest and are continually seeking new and innovative ideas for you.

Last year I had a client come to me wanting a design for their annual company-wide sales meeting. They had decided on a racing theme to get their sales team all revved up and was so thrilled with the results that they came back for more.

This year they decided on a boxing theme, the image below is what they are going to be using on punching bags, key chains and t-shirts.




















I am so excited when I have the opportunity to work closely with a charitable organization. The Rotary Club of Oswego has accomplished so much with the annual Chukkers for Charity event, raising over $20,000 in past years. I had the honor of designing the Save-the-Date card for this year's event.

Looking back on the past decade, I have accomplished so much and am so thankful for all in my life.

I have learned to not only live day by day, but to savor every moment. I can not believe that my oldest son Josh is already going to be 4 in a couple of weeks, man does time just fly by.

Below is a poster design for a bank showcasing that Crain's List placed their branch and a sister branch in the top 25 for performance rankings! In previous years, the bank took the listings to a local copy shop and blew them up to poster board size, how boring. This year the Branch Manager wanted a much more eye catching design to draw customers to recognize and appreciate their bank's accomplishments. Congrats to State Bank of Illinois for making the top 25!

Tastefully Whimsical

Earth Design - A family owned landscaping company, specializing in architecture and design elements that will "Bring Your Outdoors to Life". The owners have been in business for a number of years and up until this point, never had a logo to define themselves from other landscape artists. They requested that the logo referred to landscaping without using the typcial landscaping graphics. Lime green and burgundy were initially chosen to compliment their gray vehicle.


The Olive Gallery - A retail shop soon to open in Yorkville selling a variety of oils and vinaigrettes, amongst a variety of other specialties. The client requested the use of an olive and wanted the logo to be very simple, but elegant. The coloring was chosen to compliment the Tuscan themed shop.


OhBabyYou.com - An online retail shop that sells upscale infant clothing and baby gear. The concept behind the logo was to create a 50's vintage theme without dating the company's image. The client requested pinks, browns and blues to be incorporated and wanted the logo to be universal enough to use through various forms of media {online, print, tv}

Heathcare and Relocation?

That is right, I work with clients in all different industries, I am not limited in who I design for. I enjoy the diversity and it allows my creativity to flow more freely, I don't feel boxed into a particular format. What works for one industry, may not work for another.

Here are some most recent examples...






















A logo and stationery set that was designed for a medical office offering a variety of patient services. The client specifically asked for a rendition of The Vitruvian Man, without it being an exact replication. The logo is professional and modern, the blue was chosen to reinforce the idea of professionalism.

The logo was designed to be used in both a vertical and horizontal orientation.



















A relocation company looking to make an impact with scratch pads. She asked for her logo and contact information. I knew that there was so much more we could do to spice it up a bit; with a light green background, the tag line "When life requires change, simplify the transition", and elements from her logo create a nice intro to her company. Warm, Friendly, Simple and much remembered.

A chiropractor offering Beautiful Image® within her office wanted a trifold brochure to showcase the services. The corporate company did not have any collateral that she could use, so we came up with this concept. "Give us an hour, we'll give you back years", with an overall theme that screams "spa" and "relaxation", who wouldn't want to try out the consultation?

"Win As One" - I want a racing theme!


A couple of months ago I had a new client ask me if I could take her theme "Win As One" and create a manly, yet cool, graphic in a racing theme without being really cheesy. The goal was to use the logo on tshirts. The company's divisions are all unrelated and the parent company wanted to tie everything together for an annual sales and training conference. With that said, I pulled the above design from somewhere in my brain, it hit home with what the client was looking for and ALL of the employees were excited about it.

So excited that they also ordered matching clocks for the employees to have in their cubicles.

HOT Menu, Perfect for Summer

I have picked up this fantastic client, that is doing a little remodeling on his business image. Businesses do that sometimes, start out in one direction and find that it is not working so they tweak their plan a little bit and take the fork in the road. As a designer, it is nice to help clients feel out what it is what they are looking for. I helped put together this new menu for a client, in hopes of going from an upscale martini bar to a more laid-back family friendly atmosphere.
