Industry Experience

Consumer Goods, Non-Profit Organization, Professional Services, Retail, Manufacturing
    uniE621 Country’s Delight Waffles
    I post this image because private label packaging is a discipline for which I am most established. I have designed and executed packaging artwork for over 1,500 consumer product goods in my lifetime, two-thirds of which were private label SKUs. I have worked with such companies at Certified Grocers Midwest _(sample shown)_, Whole Foods Market and Topco. Extending a brand look across a broad number of categories requires careful planning due to the multiple variables one must take into consideration. Being assigned and managing private label projects greatly expanded my capabilities. I cannot thank my clients enough for the opportunities they offered. I am especially thankful to the people at Certified Grocers Midwest who helped me establish my small design studio early on. They remained a loyal client for 17 years until the company was bought out by Centrella Foods.
    uniE621 PWF World Whale Film Festival
    One of a number of pieces I designed for Pacific Whale Foundation’s _6th Annual World Whale Film Festival_. The fundraising event helps the nonprofit raise money to support its research, education and conservation efforts. During my time with the organization, I was able to offer brand solutions for a multitude of marketing objectives. graphidesigner photoretouching composition branding posterdesign nonprofit
    uniE621 Butterball Turkey
    I had the pleasure of working with ConAgra Foods when they had a meat division. For seven years I executed packaging for every Butterball frozen turkey SKU, a new line of Butterball prepared meals, every Eckrich lunchmeat and sausage product, as well as packaging for other brands such as Swift, Armour, Black Mountain, and Margherita. While these brands have changed hands since that time, much of the equity still carries over. packaging packagedesign branding logo creativedirector graphicdesigner brandequity CPG consumerproducts
    uniE621 Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast
    This project launched a new category within the Blistex line of products, establishing brand equity that still remains 17 years after its introduction. I was able to utilize all my skills including design exploration, project and budget management, creating the proprietary lettering for _Raspberry Lemonade Blast_ which was then digitally rendered by Horst Mickler, art directing Chris Dellorco to illustrate the fruit background. My goal is always to deliver concepts that have longevity. Building brand equity was a goal instilled in me a young designer. It is something I have carried with me throughout my career.
    uniE621 ExpertPays Identity
    Commissioned to redesign the brand identity for ExpertPays, a legal services firm. This bold, contemporary look will soon be applied to all forms of communication presented by this company as it repositions itself within its industry. branding logo identity graphicdesigner creativedirector
    uniE621 *Spondylitis Plus* Magazine Redesign
    Spondylitis Association of America is a nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for ankylosing spondylitis while educating and empowering those affected with the disease. This quarterly magazine is one vehicle used to keep members informed of current events, treatments and other relevant news. The redesign was to presented to reflect the quality of the organization’s information and services. logo graphicdesigner branding designer magazine nonprofit brandrevitalization
