Logo Design
Albrechta & Coble, LTD reached out inquiring about a new logo design. They wanted something for print advertising. They gave me an example of their letterhead. I did some research into their business to find their roots, find their story. I wanted to pay homage to their legacy. I was able to find a picture of their original transom from their first office building. Inspired, I created their new logo pictured to the left.
Delicious - Heaven in my stomach, LLC
After Delicious Food Truck found out I redesigned the D.A.P. website, he reached out to have me redesign his website on Wix. His website was a bit outdated, the menu didn't show up at all when people visited it, and some of the text was hard to read. He had a ton of complaints from customers about the lack of information on his website. I dove into learning what his brand voice was and crafted an entirely new version of his website.

Target Audience: Anyone with an empty stomach!
Goals/Specifics: He wanted his website to have his menu on it as well as pictures of food he sells. Customers had been complaining his old website didn't have information they were looking for. We added a contact form, social feed, event feed, and menu to keep people up to date on where to find them next.
Consumer Benefit: An eye catching site that has all the answers they're looking for (where they're at, what food they serve, how to get in touch to book events, customer reviews - and T-Shirt sales coming soon!). Empty stomach, come get some heaven in your stomach. They're open for lunch and can be booked for events. Customers won't regret purchasing some Delicious food.

D.A.P. Inc- Dads Against Predators Website
D.A.P. wanted an entire website re-design. Their old website didn't feel like them. It took some time to really establish their brand and who they were, what their mission was. Once they did, their old site just didn't fit, and it wasn't working efficiently for merch. I worked with them to create a brand new Shopify website that shouted, "EXCUSE ME EVERYBODY!" They loved how I captured their voice across the pages and even how I rebranded how we sold their merch. After publishing the site, sales skyrocketed. If I'm being safe, I can easily say we doubled sales from the previous year in just the first 6 months of the new site. More realistically, we probably tripled the sales from the previous year.

Target Audience: They wanted to offer a better experience for current and new customers for their website. This is a very broad target audience - from kids to older folks. Most people who are coming to this site already know about D.A.P. and are interested in making a purchase or donating.
Goals/Specifics: They wanted their website to function properly, they wanted items to be marked as sold out so they didn’t continue to oversell items. They also wanted to add shipping costs, and combine shipping for multiple items. A complete redesign on the website so it felt more like their brand/voice. All of this so they would be prepared to drop brand new merch. They also wanted new product descriptions, about me page, podcast information, and their PayPal/Patreon information.
Consumer Benefit: A site that works properly and is aesthetically pleasing. People want to purchase their merch because it helps fund a great cause. Every sale helps D.A.P. travel to expose predators. They feel like they are a part of something by contributing and showing off their merch.

Resume Writing/Editing/Design
This client wanted a resume that would stand out, yet still convey professionalism. She needed it updated as she had a couple jobs to add, and wanted to tone it down from 2 pages to 1. The first 2 pages are what she had previously. I worked with that to create and pull the most relevant work experiences for an upcoming position she wanted to apply for. I asked if she had a favorite color to add just a little touch of color to the resume.
Print Advertising. Designs were created in-house. The ad copy was written by me. These ads were placed in the local newspaper.
