2008 annual report for YoCream, a frozen yogurt company based in Portland, Oregon. This year's report was focused on the company's exceptional growth from the previous year, due to the easily marketable health benefits of frozen yogurt.

« PREVIOUS        NEXT »

I built a brand identity of strong colors and bold typography for YoCream to create a more cohesive report, drawing inspiration from the stickers on their yogurt cups.

« PREVIOUS        NEXT »

The active growth cultures in yogurt promote good digestion and a healthy immune system. The company actively grew more in 2008 than in any other year. Puns are so silly!

A book describing the mission of Mercy Corps' Phoenix Fund in Nepal and India. I worked with photographer Joni Kabana to design a book that would display the results of Mercy Corps' work with the people of these countries. Mercy Corps style guidelines were followed so the book would be in line with other collateral from the organization.

A stop motion music video personifying the little creative guy inside of us. Sometimes we just need to let him help us sort our brains out and find good ideas. Payton (www.paytonb.com) and I made this with 3000 photographs and ten cans of Play-Doh, among other things. Music: Kid Cudi and Vampire Weekend, "Cudderisback"

The title sequence for "Stiff - The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers". Using illustrations from an old anatomy book and After Effects, I created a journey through the human body.

I'm a communication design student at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. My first love is typography and design, but I also enjoy photography, motion graphics, and video editing. I like traveling anywhere and everywhere - I want to experience all kinds of cultures and creative pursuits, and apply that knowledge to my work.

On a lighter note, I can play the turkey baster like a woodwind instrument and I know every "Deep Thought" by Jack Handy.

"The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw".

"When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil..."
