Design Portfolio Sampling and Request for New Projects
1. This is just a small sampling of my design work
over the past many years. However, If I don’t start
putting something up, I’ll never do it!
So, please peruse through these samples.
I will update as my schedule allows.
I’d love to meet with you to discuss any new projects you may have
or to look at your present materials or website to look at doing a
“collateral makeover.”
Enjoy!

2. For the past 6 years or
so, I have designed the
invitation package for
Austin Montessori
School’s silent auction
called “FIESTA.”
The trick? To keep the
“Fiesta” theme, but
design it unique to
each year. I no longer
have the samples from
previous years,
but you get the idea...
In 2007 I did a two color design of bright
orange and blue with the Mexican
lanterns. These colors & images melded
together well to create a unique fiesta!
3. For 2008 I went with the
Mexican sun design. I
carried it through to each
piece. It came across bright
and festive.
4. For 2009 I went all out with
the piñata theme. This was a
fun one to make as I
designed it to look like
confetti pieces were flying
off of the page!
5. For 2010, my most recent
design, I used a photograph I
took of a graffiti wall while in
Ajijic, Mexico. I took many
elements from the wall design
and carried them throughout
the package. Again, colorful
and inviting.
6. This was a recent fund raiser
brochure for Hyde Park
School’s (of Austin, Texas) new
library. My challenge, as with
most designers was to fit all the
needed information into a
readable format.
7. A complete menu design for a local
Austin restaurant. Italian infused food.
8. Mail out campaign for Summit Christian Academy in Cedar Park Texas.
The idea was to introduce Byron Webre, a former Austin area Chief
Meteorologist to prospective families as well as to invite them to an open house.
9. Chicago Title Austin wanted to give
out Starbuck’s newest instant coffee
along with their thank you card.
I designed a fun card for them to feel
great about handing out to their
most valued customers. Of course,
it was received well!
10. Wait... don’t judge
me on this one...
...this is a BEFORE image of
Diversified Recovery of Texas’ complete
booklet brochure. This had served them
well for many years.
I was asked to update it and give it a
professional look to reflect the company
as it is today.
See next slide...
11. This sales book is one that goes to all kinds of potential clients. The one they really want to reach is larger
banks who need a professional recovery service for those who have defaulted on their loans.
My solution on this one was to take the book to a horizontal book. This way, it will stick out just a bit on a
bookshelf. With a limited printing budget, I designed this to have an embossed look and feel. We had this
printed on a small run with digital printing and it came out beautiful!
12. To the left:
The previous brochure book’s inside.
Below:
The re-designed brochure book. We updated
all of the photos to reflect their newest
vehicles. By doing shorter printing runs,
I can swap out pages when new equipment
or new certificates are secured.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project
as I love doing “collateral makeovers!”
13. This was one of my favorite pieces to design.
These are credit cards for Resource One Credit
Union in Dallas, Texas.
14. This is part of an
invitation package I did
for Summit Christian
Academy’s Silent
Auction from 2004. The
challenge on this was to
keep the printing costs
down. Using a sepia
colored ink and a brown
paper, I was able to
convey the old-west type
theme. Very fun
volunteer project.
15. These two billboards had two completely
differing ideas behind them. The one with the
arrow was designed to just stand out at a
popular intersection. To let local people in the
area know that SCA is in their community.
This billboard with the children on it are actual
students from the local area that attend SCA. The
idea is to let people know in the Georgetown, Tx
area that SCA is there and to check it out.
