An outdoor gear technician from Easyrider's Bike Shop was looking for marketing materials and items to promote his abilities. We worked together and came up with these fun graphics for shirts and decals.

Working for Lakes Printing in Brainerd, MN, I created logos, t-shirts, posters, postcards, web banners for Hubbard Radio's Northern Minnesota market.

Art direction for the Lakes Area United Way campaigns. Posters, tickets, social media, newspaper. Whatever the need, I deliver functional, and original creative.

At Lakes Printing, I oversaw the creative direction since it's induction many years ago, helping to make this a sold-out event annually.

Numerous marketing materials help make The Mn Adult and Teen Fishing Challenge a successful event yearly. Primarily a Photoshop project with InDesign pulling it all together to form an income-generating package.

The concept for the Run for the Lakes came to me as I walked through a puddle and trees were reflecting during one fine lunch break while at Lakes Printing. I love the random inspirations that happen when you least expect it!

Working at Lakes Printing, I oversaw the creative for The Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza. Known as the "Pink Contest", it is the largest ice fishing contest in the world.

Using Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator I was able to deliver creative solutions for billboards, banners, posters, booklets, newspaper wraps, along with numerous additional materials.

A coloring book and postcards for Pine Grove Zoo. This project allowed me to use my illustration ability drawing all the animals for the coloring book with ink. Illustrator and Photoshop finished up the process.

Kinship was in need of a new marketing campaign to gain mentors and I delivered with a fun, playful concept. Brochures, table tents, banners, posters and much more accomplished Kinship's needs.

The Gull Chain of Lakes Association has called on Lakes Printing since 2005 to produce a high quality, full color magazine. Growth in advertising sales and membership each year has been a success since my introduction to the project.

My experience allows me to create graphics for anything with a complete understanding of the production process always in mind. Whether full color or spot color, I create solutions that work as effectively on press as they do for the client, as seen in these samples for Pelican Lakes Association.

Full color hard and soft cover book. Working on large projects such as this allows me to fine tune my abilities with styles, page numbering and many other layout tools that InDesign offers.

Another full color, hard cover publication I was fortunate to be a part of.

Logo design for an up and coming online writer's community. Upon delivering concepts to the founder, one of the smartest men I personally know, he said to me "Now this is why you hire a professional."
