Black Belt Bamboost

Designed with the Black Belt Bamboost Design & Marketing Communication Team

Black Belt Bamboost is a community-driven, educational nonprofit. Their goal is to use a community bamboo garden in Northport, Alabama to boost awareness of the Black Belt region's suitability for large-scale bamboo cultivation and development of associated industries.

 

Eating Alabama

I worked with filmmaker Andrew Grace to create this wordmark for his film Eating Alabama, which is a story about why food matters. 

 

Mockingbird Farm

Mockingbird Farm is a start-up family farm that plants and sells seasonal fruits and vegetables in Uniontown, AL. I worked with them to design a logo in color and grayscale, as well as business cards, and an alternate logo for use as a rubber stamp.

 
 

Thankful

Thankful is a unique wedding registry that believes happiness is about the people you love. They're all about mindful consumption, they support marriage equality, and they don't believe in greedy. I worked with the founder, Kathy Cheng, to create a playful identity, graphic elements, and icons for gifting categories.

 

It Takes One

 Art Direction: Josh Higgins & Carly Pearlman

These are killed identity concepts for an initiative started by First Lady Michelle Obama during the re-election campaign. The initiative was based on the belief that one person can make a difference, and it encouraged folks to inspire at least one other person to join in the movement to move this country forward.

 

Historic Northport
