This is the packaging I designed (@ Windesheim Design) for the museum store to sell “Fog Domes”. Sadly, there was a fog issue with the products and the domes did not get released.

Wow for dogs
This image is the background usage for Wow for dogs, used on tetrapaks, sell sheets, signage, and the website.

Eva Gunther Foundation
The Eva Gunter Foundation is another non-profit client of Windesheim Design, helping teenage girls. We design and publish their annual reports and other support material.
CP-37 Website
This website is for Oakland artist CP-37. I’m including it here because even though it’s old in website years (5) I still think it works well with his art.
Mua Website
This is the website for Mua, Hi-suk and San-ju Dong’s latest bar and restaurant in Oakland. The design reflects the eclectic and ever changing nature of the place and is built in WordPress to make it easier to stay current. I manage the content, do most of the photography/video, help select artists to exhibit, manage and monitor their Twitter and Yelpness. I also help them to consume cocktails and food items, because well, someone has to. (Cap’n John photo by Eu-ri Dong)
Windesheim Design Website
Nancy Windesheim of Windesheim Design and I have been collaborating since 2000. We designed this site for her a couple of years ago. We know we should update her site, but we are kinda attatched to it as is…
birch Website
The walls in Torryne Choate’s upscale flower design shops birch and birch hayes valley are painted black, which makes the amazing flower arrangements and objects d’art stand out even more. The website is designed in the same aesthetic. Torryne also takes all the amazing photos for the site.
Mua Identity
This logo for Mua is based on the graffiti style signage that used to be on the front of the restaurant. The city of Oakland thought it was a tag and painted it over!
Venetian Walls Identity
Todd Merrill and Peter McCandless needed a new identity for their traditional Italian wall treatment company, Venetian Walls. This design references a type-style of old Venice, but playful.
M8 Identity
Designer Steve Livingston and Project Manager Joan Livingston wanted an identity for M8, their innovative technology that allows the easy swapping out of cabinet facing. The logo needed to work very small to be stamped on metal as well as larger for stationery and signage. They requested that it invoke the whimsical side of their personalities and gave the sense of changeability.
WOW Identity
WOW! Natural Beverages for Dogs. A product under development, Duncan Macnamara requested an identity for his company that was warm and engaging, as well as eye-catching. I based the artwork on his amazing dog, Buddy.
National AIDS Memorial at the Grove Website
The National AIDS Memorial Grove is another of Windesheim Design’s non-profit clients. We worked with director, John Cunningham, to create a site that could be updated by the organizations many volunteers and committees. One of my favorite moments as a designer was showing a group from NAMG how to update this wordpress site, and seeing collective lightbulbs going off over their heads as they got excited about the possibilities.

Paintings from random fb+ photos
This is a series of small paintings (about 3″ x 4″) in gouache, 4 up on 11″ x 17″ pieces of paper. The images are mostly from facebook, twitter, etc. I stole the gouache from chef Phil. I usually use oil or graphite. This is what gives them the demented paint by numbers look, which I think at least works for the chicken.
Bistro Soizic Identity
This wasn’t logo design as much as a corralling and standardizing of all the many different versions of “Bistro Soizic” that exist.
Soizic Website
I made my first website for Soizic way back in 1995! Soizic and Mua are both owned by Sanju and Hisuk Dong, and while the look and feel of each restaurant is very different, they’re both ecclectic.
*Note to self, even when a restaurant closes, don’t let the name go!
project: Mr. Botto’s Afternoon
Stills from a children’s animation I started a LONG time ago (pre Bug’s Life)! Hand drawn textures with 3d studio
project: Wow for Dogs
This was a fun project—a brand new company, PetBevCo, started by Duncan McNamara, featuring a new product, beverages for dogs. The brand is targeting those attracted by a retro/contemporary look and feel, and of course, dogs lovers. Besides the corporate and product logo design and branding, I developed the system, website, packaging (tetrapack not yet released), on-line store and sell sheets.
