These are some examples of house ads for Pandora. The tiles are small so it is important to focus on color contrast, legability and alignment.
Pandora Gives donated 4 custom mixtapes to one of our primary nonprofit partners, Musicians on Call. These mixtapes will be distributed to 29 partner hospitals on donated tablets and Pandora Plus accounts. MOC wanted the branding to incorporate imagery to tie it back into a "pharmacy" theme without sacrificing the positivity, & strength.

I love taking a single motif to create graphic compositions that freely play with color, image size, rhythm and proportion. I invite you to get lost in an infinite sea of shapes, discover what motifs are repeated or delight in the structure and symmetry of my original work.

Part of what makes a room come together are the textiles and visualizing a finished room can be difficult for a lot of folks. Rooms By You provided tools to allow you to enter a room staged with furniture and all white textiles: bed linens, wall art, lamp shades, curtain panels, etc. I provided 6 collections containing about 20 different coordinating surface pattern designs that users could drag and drop in any configuration that they choose into all of the textile related products in the room. Each collection had several different colorways to give the customer a vast array of options. This is a snapshot of a room a customer created using the 3D customization tool from the website.

Lasers can burn or cut graphics into almost any material. Here are some of my experiments.
I am bringing beautiful typography to the cake topper industry. Still experimenting with materials, but found that .125" Baltic Birch ply provides stability. Now what color to paint it?
Where the laser really shines is in the details, and a little glitter always helps.
Once again, I wanted to show off the level of detail you can attain using lasers and matt board. Here I drew a silhouette of Baba Yaga flying in her mortar, wielding her pestle, chasing after her hut which walks around on chicken feet.

I cut coasters from a Madrone Tree branch for my material. Repeating the tree around a centered orientation created a nice mandala. I made sure the laser would burn out the negative space so more detail could be achieved in the releif.
Raster image burned on a nice piece of Sycamore.

Cutting fancy type proved to be a little tricky but it has given me the idea to create a font set that works more like a stencil and provides more insert points so that letter forms will not drop out of the final result.
