Sharing a T-shirt Design I did last week for Discover Outdoors Foundation in NYC for an upcoming event. They wanted something a little vintage this year and I had fun with this sweet typeface I found, modifying it some and working with some simple mountains/trees. Every year they have a hiking fundraiser to raise funds for NYC kids.

It’s great to see the wrap of a larger project. This project was one of our more complicated projects that was a year in the making. The client wanted a new, fresh site and needed a responsive site, one that fit all the devices for their high tech audience. I was able to start on redesigning the front-end right away but the back-end was a bit messy. Donor Egg Bank USA required a top-notch database that allowed for searching but also security to be rebuilt in the back end for the new site. My amazing freelance developers, Vasil & Filip accomplished this over months and the end project is done!
A year ago the site wasn’t responsive and looked like this:
Old site
I kept the same logo but updated the brown to gray and brightened up the orange a tad. I actually tried to stick to the same colors, just brightened them a little and tried to give them a fresher, modern feel. I introduced a sans serif font and used a lot more photography. The redesign is very vertical so it’s easier to see in two images, or better yet, go to their site: https://donoreggbankusa.com
I designed a logo for Darren’s new company. He wanted a crest of some sort with his ‘C’ for Cyrus and had an idea with a shield. I sketched a variety of ideas but decided to mock up this idea, combining the a ‘C’ on a shield.
Through the drafts we decided to make the ‘C’ look like it was embossed on the shield. For the cards, I kept them simple but matched the style of the logo. They are Moo’s MiniCards so half of a business card with rounded corners.
Discover Outdoors wanted a piece to hand out that showcases what they are all about in a quick postcard design. I took one of their own photos for the front and adjusted the colors slightly to make it pop out a little to capture the interest of the viewer. On the back, the client had a lot of information to share. They liked my past Annual Report design with the color blocks so I used that design but added some of their photos into the layout.
A fun retro logo design that I think came out really well. Unfortunately, Atomidata had to close down, so if anyone is interested in repurposing this logo to their own needs, let me know!
I got to refresh the design for the trifold brochure for the local Twin Ridge Upland Bird Farm. They had some newer photos to work with and the design highlights the photography and shares the pricing and basic information.
A 56 page program for an annual conference in DC for AAFA. This year’s theme was global and I wanted to have the brand colors stand out and clean type since there was a lot of copy throughout. I decided to make the presenter photos black and white this year to help with that and the client was ok with that decision.
A logo design for a photographer. She wanted her name to stand out and feel personal and unique. As a photographer, we wanted to be sure it was heavy enough that it could stand as a watermark on top of images.
We had the great opportunity to redesign the shepherdstown.us website. This is the main government website that contains all the information on the town government and committees. My goal was to make it somewhat fun and hip (to reflect our Shepherdstown vibe) but yet very professional and easy to navigate, as most people coming to the website are looking for information.
I designed double-sided business cards for JT Burton Group, a real estate company in Bethesda. I also designed a letterhead and email signature with a similar design.
