  3. Impact Dyslexia Homepage Impact Dyslexia Homepage — Homepage mockup for Impact Dyslexia. See the brand elements post for more detailed info.
  4. Impact Dyslexia Brand Elements Impact Dyslexia Brand Elements — Some brand elements and applications that came out of branding work for Impact Dyslexia. My son has dysgraphia so this brand is near and dear to me but, beyond that, they're super interesting from a branding perspective. They have two very different audiences and they want to address those audiences in very different ways and with a different tone, but with one brand and one voice. One audien...
  5. Impact Dyslexia Impact Dyslexia — New branding project. Impact Dyslexia is a non-profit dedicated to creating a world in which a dignified education is accessible to everyone. And they plan to make some noise about it.

  13. Flag Heart Flag Heart — Working on something else I accidentally made a flag heart and yesterday was the 4th of July so... here you go.
  14. They said it would be fun. They said it would be fun. — Logos should be simple they said. Then everyone has a good time they said. My superpower is making things that look like other things. Like a tree-brain-torch-tennis-ball-cyclist. One of these is an early round logo for one of my clients. Bonus points if you can guess which one.
  15. A10 Partners Logo A10 Partners Logo — One more shot to 'show the paint', part of the branding system. A10 Partners is a marketing agency in Austin, TX focused on marketing sales support and go-to-market strategies for companies of all sizes.

  19. Bonsai's Pingboard Case Study Bonsai's Pingboard Case Study — The first in a series of case studies showing how Bonsai's hosted Elasticsearch has helped other startups be successful. This one was fun because I did the copywriting as well as the design.
  20. Feature Icons Feature Icons — Getting better (and faster) at animations in Principle. I like how these turned out except for the aliasing on the edges. Icons are smaller on the page where I built the animations so I used the scale feature. Scaling the artwork works, just not perfectly.
  21. Mission Control Homepage Mission Control Homepage — Bit more of the homepage (desktop and mobile views) for Mission Control.
  22. Mission Control Website Mission Control Website — It's been an idea for the last year but it's incorporated now and the website is coming soon. If you're a freelance creative (or know one) in Austin, drop me a line. I'd love to talk to you.
