Reflecting on being a graphic designer for the past eight years and my perspective has changed over the years. It started out with something I enjoyed doing, being super creative and pushing boundaries as much as possible. Some of that rebellious academia was still in me I suppose.

Now that I've been doing it for small to large sized companies for awhile now, it's changed. It's become more about how can I help this person's business succeed with my own strengths? How can helping businesses showcase their product and/or service so that potential customers feel trust with their brand. It's less about pushing boundaries and more about trust and looking for simple approaches. I think that is what more people are looking for in their lives and design can still be a part of that.

Designers have many capabilities and usually have many different skills that make the work they produce effective at what they're trying to achieve, visually. For example, Addison Dwiggins was a type designer, calligrapher, illustrator and book designer. He was the one who coined the word 'graphic design' in 1922. He also created some of the popular fonts that are still being used today such as Electra, Caledonia and Metrolite.

A wonderful studio in Edwardsville, Inner Chatter - Mindfulness Art Studio needed to collaborate on branding needs for their business that offers guided meditations, mindfulness mandala art workshops and much more. The owner and I worked to incorporate the artistic component to their meditation practice. Together we came up with a seamless, modern logo with a little artistic flair.

Need a little zen pick-me-up? Give Inner Chatter a DM. ☮️

A throwback to when I was commissioned to design a logo for the metro-east's friendly compost educators, Good Dirt Composting Collective!

I loved working with them to produce a logo style that fit their mission and wholesome approach to getting the community involved in composting. Visit their page to see some upcoming events in the area!
