PERSEVERE

A motivational poster about a pig who tried and finally flew

What's better than proving the impossible? Accomplishing it in style. My interpretation of the phrase, "Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th" paired with the adynaton, "When pigs fly."

Elixir

An organic energy water inspired by the honeybee

The Elixir honeybee was originally inspired by my Aunt Bellita who wanted an energy water made with organic ingredients that would help her buzz around with plenty of energy without the sugar crash later on. Elixir is made with simple ingredients, with lemons for added energy, honey to sweeten and water to hydrate.

Garden of forking paths

My visual interpretation of Jorge L. Borges short story

Jorge L. Borges is an Argentine poet, essayist, and short-story writer whose works have become classics of 20th-century world literature. One of his short stories is called, ‘The Garden of Forking Paths,’ and it is a story of secret spies and a chase that forever changes the lives of two men. This book contains accurate artifacts that were constructed as period piece ephemera pertaining to the time and era. All this was then inserted into a contemporary designed, handmade, case-bound book.

My personal self branding

Above: logo concept/development.

The original idea for my self branding came to be when I realized that I was good at drawing squiggles; after much refinement and not settling for a single color, my logo came to be. It's modern, playful and stands out on its own.
