A sampling of the local flavor
Texas music
Reckless Kelly
These are a couple of shirt graphics designed for the one and only Reckless Kelly, Texas music legends. The swoopy “Reckless Kelly, Austin, Texas” piece here was a jersey graphic designed for a softball game they were organizing. Now, this was done in 2001, but with a little research, I discovered that their infamous annual Celebrity Softball Jam originated in 2008/2009. So, maybe the graphic was for an early forerunner? Not sure. But a little mystery is good, right?

Other Texas stuff
H-E-B
Did design work for H-E-B, the #1 grocery retailer in the U.S. and a brand that tops just about every "-est" list. To Texans it's less a grocery store and more a way of life.

Role: Design
Jack Brown Cleaners
Led a rebrand for Jack Brown and Slater-White Cleaners—much loved, family-owned dry cleaning chains that have been fixtures on street corners across central Texas for decades. The full refresh: logo, store design and graphics, vehicle wraps, print, digital, all the stuff.
Role: Creative direction, design
City of Kyle
Designed the logo for the City of Kyle. Creative direction: Texas and bluebonnets. Probably holds my personal record for largest display (water towers) and most reproductions, though it might just seem that way because I live here and see it everywhere.
Role: Design
Fun fact: This is the only portfolio piece to have the honor of being displayed in my front yard.
Wildly Austin
Designed a book cover for a collection showcasing Austin's quirky commercial sculptures—the kind of oversized, weird, wonderful landmarks that define(d) the city's character.
