CLIENT | JOSHUA TREE GATEWAYS
The Joshua Tree in this logo has 8 arms that symbolize the 8 communities and how they work together. The artistic font is loose and free, much like the aura surrounding this unique community and all it stands for. I chose 8 vibrant colors from the high desert in Joshua Tree to give each city its own unique visual que.
PROJECTS COMPLETED Logo, Visual guidelines and Poster

CLIENT | VISIT MESA
I collaborated on this amazing project with Jeff Miraglia from Mindset, Inc. His strategy of CITY LIMITLESS gave me the opportunity to design an identity system that was fresh and contemporary. Mesa has been often thought of as "old and tired". Mesa is far from that and as the identity came to life from the amazing brand vision. The "east valley" is alive and encompasses Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek and Tonto National Forest and there is more to Mesa City Limitless than one thought.
PROJECTS COMPLETED Logo, business system with personalized notecards, semi-custom cost effective "bid book"

CLIENT | California Desert Arts Council
I designed a typographic logo mark that is easy to read and is "open", simplistic and effective. To help show the flexibility of the logo, I provide alternate options (for social and small spaces), one-color and reversed, and different lockups (vertical or horizontal). Color plays a very important role and I provided color palette options as well.

CLIENT | Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau
The identity for the City of Arlington was so well received, that we were asked to develop a logo that would leverage the new Arlington brand, yet stand out as the CVB. I used the base of the City logo and created a ring around the "mark" that would embrace the "A" and therefore be the driving force for tourism and visitors to the City of Arlington, Texas. I designed an identity guide for the marketing team to use along with re-skinning the website to match the new look

CLIENT | Greater Palm Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau (GPSCVB)
As the "foodie" segment grew, the need to market the amazing restaurants in the GPS nine cities did too. The GPSCVB is responsible for giving visitors and locals reasons to dine at new and local favorite places. I was asked to craft a identity to promote this annual event and keeping in line with the nine cities seemed important to use an iconic element - forks! The new brand took off and we developed a great new look and from there an awesome marketing campaign. See the PEACE. LOVE. EAT. campaign under the Advertising tab.

CLIENT | California Oasis Arts Council
I worked with the Creative Director to develop the identity for the COAC and at the same time develop an "arts initiative" and the identity for that. The two names COAC and ArtUP needed to work together. I presented two ideas for each and rationale. Along with the identity I proposed a visual look for the brand.

CLIENT | GREATER PALM SPRINGS CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
As part of an initiative to save the Salton Sea, the GPSCVB has been instrumental in bringing awareness to the impact of this wildlife and tourism destination. The above logo was developed to bring awareness and is used on an information page for the CVB. Also, there was a drive to develop a campaign and design for a plate for the Salton Sea. The plate would raise much needed funds for it's survival. The logos above were used to show media, tourism partners and decision makers in Riverside County and the state of California.

CLIENT | GREATER PALM SPRINGS CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
This symbol was developed to represent the growth, vibrancy and connectivity that the CDAC will bring to the nine Greater Palm Springs cities. The use of an artistic mandala with intertwining arches create a union. The CDAC is the union that provides momentum for the cultural expansion of art in the Coachella Valley.

I developed three distinct ideas for the Valencia Group and their new restaurant located in northern California. The logos ideas were well received, but ultimately they decided on a different direction for the logo. This series of ideas and visual expansion shows the type of work I do and the creative thinking involved in the process.
