Logo Design: Food that Speaks
Last summer I worked on the identity for Food That Speaks, a blog about great food in Rochester, New York. Food That Speaks is also the official food column in Rochester Woman Magazine. The logo evolved over time from the original idea of somehow representing a dinner plate. I wanted the logo to convey: fresh...
Logo design: Kaimelsky’s
Designed the logo for Kaimelsky’s, a new mobile food venture based in Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s a new business, but the owner wanted the logo to have an old-style restaurant sign quality to it. In the end, went with warm, appetite stimulating reds and oranges to promote a feeling of comfort and desire to eat! //
My friend, the Wacom
I’ve been trying to get better with using a Wacom Tablet, especially for the epic amount of photo editing soon to come in London. When I was younger I loved to doodle and draw random people and random things everywhere, so I decided to relive those good old days and practice with the Wacom pen...

Caz Sentinel Web site

Logo design: KRD Sales
I worked with a client to develop a logo and business card for their small business– KRD Sales. They didn’t have an existing logo, so we worked to develop a very simple one. It is based on the idea of an updated take on an old fashioned seal. The requirements were that the logo incorporate “KRD”,...
Book jacket: Inside
One of our first projects for GRA 356: Type & Image spring semester was to design the book jacket for our autobiography. My autobiography was loosely based on traveling on the Lake shore Limited, a train that operates from Chicago to the east coast. I didn’t really like my final jacket design, but I made...
