PORTFOLIO
SHAKTI ACTIVE WEAR
Together with the stunning photography of Peter James Studio, I created this eCommerce website design on desktop and mobile for Shakti Activewear, one of the most popular yoga clothing outfitters. Their style has changed since this 2016 project of course, but their company continues to be widely successful.
INTERIOR DESIGN ARTWORK- CHAKRAS
This 2018 visual design project was for Color in Space, an independent interior designer in Seattle, Wa. The aim was to create a custom set of chakra artworks to sell to her clients, matching her customized home paint palettes. She needed scalable high resolution images that could be printed on a variety of mediums.
PRODUCT BRANDING + PACKAGING
This 2018 visual design project was for Elite Gear which was a spin off product of Ron's Machining- another website client from earlier in the year. Elite Gear needed a new eCommerce website design, product logo design, and packaging to match. The client requested classic auto parts packaging which is traditionally utilizes large color blocks.
SAN JUAN CRUISES WEBSITE & MARKETING
This 2018 visual design and website project was for San Juan Cruises at www.whales.com- One of the premiere Washington Cruises for whale watching dinner tours. I created a beautiful website showcasing their amazing photos and cruises, as well as marketing materials for their social media profiles and other advertising needs.
MO'S PARLOR
Mo's Parlor is a creative storefront owned by artist, Monique Green. Mo's Parlor products feature resin jewelry, natural makeup and a hair care line. Mo Needed a website, an online store to sell her wares and a branding scheme to match her brick and mortar store design. She wanted a solution that would be easy to edit and add products herself.
BEAUTY GARDE
Beauty Garde is a makeup and lash company, who in 2017 hired me via Peter James Studios to design their debut eCommerce website. Their branding and design guidelines were in place before they approached us, and they also had their own team of designers and UX strategists, with whom we collaborated.
MARATHON MAPS FOR THE GREAT WALL
This 2016 visual design project was for The Great Wall Marathon in China. The organizers needed new maps for the marathon as the old ones were badly needing updated and more precise. The new maps needed to be based on google satellite images and available in Chinese.
FAT CAT FISH- WEBSITE + MARKETING
Fat Cat Fish was a super fun project- I designed a user friendly eCommerce website design, and also did the product photography in which I volunteered my own cats as models! I worked with live animals on a photography set and incorporated these photos into ads and marketing materials for the company to use on their social media and beyond.
CUSTOM STRAIN POSTER ILLUSTRATIONS
Cascadia Gardens is one Washington's first and premiere 501C legal cannabis farms, located in Bellingham, WA and serving from Canada to Portland. The design challenge was to illustrate 6 of their exclusive cannabis strains as collectors posters, and also as graphics for marketing and promotion. I also designed a clothing line to match their branding.
DEVIANT ART
With over 12 years experience in Adobe and Digital Painting, I have created a body of artwork in the visionary art genre, and attracted a following on social media. My art is centered around themes empowering women figures, and symbols from nature, mathematics and outer space. My artwork is archived on Deviant Art and my gallery can be viewed below:
SUBLIMATION CLOTHING LINE
The LUN SUBLIMATION WEAR was a personal project for my visual design business from 2016-2019. I designed digital artworks to adorn leggings, dresses, hoodies, home accessories and more. I used the Printful printing service and WIX eCommerce API to create my ART SHOP from scratch.
ORACLE DECK
Started in 2011, this mockup tarot/oracle combination deck features digital artwork by myself, and Seattle artist Theresa Collins. I created the layout and the guidebook for this deck and continue to work on perfecting the images up to present day. The deck is designed to be read as classic tarot or as an 'oracle reading' depending on ones' preferences.
