Full branding for The People's Classroom. They offer fun, informal & curious classes in the Upper Hudson Valley of NY. All classes are held pop-up style within a 30-minute drive from the town of Catskill. Most importantly, they encourage people to learn something new and have fun.

In today’s rapidly changing world with smart devices, businesses need to be ready to showcase the application of products in an intentional way. It is equally as important for your logo to read well on a billboard as it does on a small social media icon.

Responsive branding packages give you the flexibility to best represent your business, no matter the environment.
Do you know someone starting a new business in 2023? Let's connect, as I'd love to help them bring their vision to life.

This week's blog highlights the benefits of having a Residential Mural.

Designing a mural for someone’s home is a lot of pressure. It is important to work with a muralist who can understand the interior and exterior design elements to match the home’s vibe.

I believe residential murals are a great investment for any property. It is a way to spruce up a room or outdoor space. An outdoor residential mural is perfect for San Diego because here we can enjoy the benefits of having a nicely painted mural year-round!

Here is a look at my recent mural project for a San Diego AirBnb

People book an Airbnb for that wow factor. Making a mural that guests could see themselves in is key for resharing. This San Diego themed mural creates the environment to share that moment on social media.

Airbnb is a platform where the algorithm is constantly changing and property owners have no control over who sees their listing. It is critical to build awareness for the listing outside of the Airbnb app. This mural is a way to get eyeballs on the listing outside of the app.

As we make our way into summer, if you know of anyone who would benefit from a mural for their Airbnb property tag them below.

Brand refreshes are a great way to ensure your business continues to grow. I am very excited to be sharing with you the new logo for San Diego Puppy Coach

I recently worked with Nicole to rebrand her business "Zookeeper to the Rescue" to "San Diego Puppy Coach". Nicole worked for the San Diego Zoo and took that knowledge from her time working at the zoo and applied it to dog training.

After a few years of success and working under the previous name, she decided a rebrand of the business was needed. Zookeeper to the Rescue was a fun name but confused her clients about her services. The name San Diego Puppy Coach was chosen as it positions her as the premiere dog trainer in San Diego.

Now her potential clients know exactly who to contact when they bring a new puppy home.

Excited to be sharing one of my last 2022 projects. I completed this residential mural in Point Loma and it completely transformed their entertainment area.

Imagine you got invited to a party at the space. You walk in, music is going, and BAM you see this mural?! The mood and vibes are instantly flowing.

Designing a mural for a residential space comes with a whole new set of nuances. People will be living this art every day, that's a lot of pressure! I have been lucky enough to be trusted in clients' homes to transform their house into a home.

Now is a great time to start planning for the residential mural process. Summer and outdoor parties will be here before we know it. Make your event the talk of the town with a custom mural.

Businesses invest so much into creating their products, spending endless nights testing different variations, recipes, and materials. Doesn’t a product’s visual representation deserve the same attention to detail?

If you or your brand are launching a product that lives out in the world I strongly recommend using hand-drawn packaging design

One of the deliverables of the brand refresh was to create some secondary brand marks that would be used on merch. This is design is one of my favorites from the batch!

The goal here was to create two new shirts. One that focused on the coastal market (surfboard) and the other on their inland markets (skateboard). Be on the lookout for these in stores!

Thanks again to for the collaboration here
