Another one of my favorite Pomegranate clients is B. Hap Kliban. Most recently I was tasked with using his original art work to design a growth chart and mobile. I am so pleased with the final products, I had to share them.

first fox branding

It has been such a pleasure to have the opportunity to work closely with Colorado fashion designer Tiffany Fox to develop the logo and branding for her new women's outdoor appeal line First Fox.

She wanted a design that was feminine but strong and that that combined Colorado's ski culture with a nod her home town of Chicago.

a smattering of illustrations

I really love it when I get the opportunity as a designer to contribute an illustration. whether it is made in illustrator, by hand or mixed media it is always exciting to breath life in to a project and to give it style and personality that is purely from my imagination.
