Not sure how it's July already, but the Dallas County Fair is right around the corner! Happy to help with some of their online graphics, schedules and daily posters again this year. Their recently updated brand is 🔥 and so fun!

The clock is winding down to one of the best weeks of the year! Come out for some great grandstand entertainment, the FREE CARNIVAL and more!

Full schedule can be found at www.dallascountyfair.com/fair-schedule/

Another logo developed for Raise The Bar Initiative - this time for their HERoic program. We extended RBI's existing brand to create this look for HERoic, a FREE program specifically developed to empower, strengthen and uplift females in the community. HERoic is made possible through partnerships with local non-profits and just announced their 2025 youth summer camp opportunities. 💪🏼

Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce added one more sub logo to their brand! We completed this earlier in the year, but now a few weeks into Spring it feels appropriate to share the Partners Arts and Trails Committee logo 🎨🌳🚲

Amazing collab with Patrick's Restaurant to update their menu design (don't worry, your favorite items are ALL still there!) Together, we were able to turn their 5 page booklet menu into a modern yet cozy feeling front-back design, all on a durable waterproof & rip-proof TerraSlate polyester paper. Stop in for a bite and see them yourself 😋 Thank you, Patrick's team!

If you're local you've surely had the pleasure of enjoying delicious Snappy's Stick Fire BBQ, whether at a festival from their mobile Chuckwagon, a local fundraiser or a custom catering event.

Helping a longtime friend in officially branding his growing BBQ business was really an honor. Capturing the essence of Tom "Snappy" Catron within the logo was top priority. Snappy's legacy of family food preparations, the major role he played in the early development of the operation and his memorable personality are the heart and soul of this family run business.

Congrats Alex and family on the success and growth over the past years! My favorite line from our initial logo convos: "Are we attending the party, or bringing the party? If you can't tell we're doing it right." 🐷

Another long overdue share. Grace Lutheran Church celebrated a milestone anniversary last January - 25 years! They selected the theme "Grow in Grace" as they celebrated this special occasion all throughout 2024. With their committee, I created a series of marks, logos and special elements. Church members also enjoyed anniversary apparel and special 25th anniversary prints.

When your passion turns into a side hustle ✨ Farm & Family Catering began with a farmer's wife who loved to prepare homemade meals and share her talents with family and friends. Cooking up comfort food from the heart, F&F now has a solid brand as she goes all in to the catering world!

When Iconic Apparel expanded their business last fall, their brand needed expanded as well. The best place for ADM spirit wear on the square is The Tiger Shop by Iconic! 🐅

It was a fun process bringing their vision to life in this logo. The final look needed to work in conjunction with Iconic Apparel's existing brand as well as their additional new venue The Barn, an indoor hitting facility and pro shop.

A local business that dreams big and does it all!

Helped my friends over at Raise The Bar Initiative with a few merch designs for two recent events!

First up, RTB held a trivia night event where they wanted to offer a few fresh shirt design options. An on-site screen printer was available for attendees to purchase on-demand custom shirts. How cool.

Next, RTB took their extremely popular and empowering event, Women's Barbell Classic, out of state holding the first ever WBC Minnesota in Owatonna this October. We created commemorative shirt designs for the lifters, which used WBC classic brand while playing with the MN state flag color scheme.

Thanks RBI!

Last summer I helped Baldon Hardware Store in developing a logo. The goals for Adel's local hardware store were straight forward - portray a community & relationships first business while highlighting that it's been family-owned and operated for over 40 years.

The rebrand came in conjunction with exterior building updates and various touch ups... the one-two punch! Shop locally for your hardware needs and save. Thank you Baldons!

Test test...🎤 It's been a minute.

Shares on here have been slow for awhile as I dialed back on design work the last few years. I come here with the news that I am BACK and freelancing full-time! Diving back into this creative space once again feels right.

I'll have new work to share soon. Until then I'll be playing a little catch up in the upcoming weeks, posting projects that I've neglected to share during this past busy season. As usual, thanks for following along and supporting your local designer! 💓 DBD
