In 2011, the Long Beach Ukulele Club made an open plea for designers to create a new logo for their organization. Utilizing the distinctive headstock of the ukulele and the colors of the City of Long Beach, I placed the setting of the instrument along the water while the sun was setting. As of the beginning of February, this logo, in its second revision, is the front runner. A final decision is forthcoming.

During my employment with The Miller Family Companies, a separate side project was forming and I was requested to name and design the logo for this environmentally designed, internationally focused, housing construction project. Using the concept of circles imparted to me by the founders, I incorporated the Earth and the colors green and blue to represent the environmental aspects, as well as using the macron diacritic over the o in the shortened word "Hōm" to emphasize the international aspect, as well as clarify the pronunciation.

One of the earliest design projects during my educations was for a fictional company called "Coffee & Cookies" With the requirements of a logo designed in Adobe Flash that could withstand the contrast of both a dark and a light background, I saw the average customer dipping their cookies in their coffee and drew upon the warmer of the brown colors of both products. Contrasting angled shapes behind the curved aspects of the product allowed for a contrast and focus on the product itself from whatever environment it may have been placed in.

While assisting with the administration of the website for the Euro-board gaming group that I am a member of, I designed this header to incorporate many of the symbols and pieces of games that members of the group would come across. The three dimensional effect was used to give the page itself some depth in an attempt to bring more life to the mostly text based design of the time.

In an assignment to incorporate our identity into a logo for our potential self-directed business, I utilized the image of the Pen Tool from Adobe Illustrator to represent the negative space between my initials. I opted for a clean, single layered, black and white design to represent the logo style that I perceived as my style at the time. This logo is utilized currently on my business cards and resumé.
