I’ve just rebuilt this site YET AGAIN. I’m not super stoked on Sparkle, it’s driving me to drink.  I’m struggling with gallery labels and the phone version so for now,  this site is desktop only. 

This gallery 

is a small sample of work that I’ve done for various clients and employers. 


The goal is to highlight recent/relevant work and show different types of projects. These are more "fun" projects than higher level corporate stuff.

A Stearns ad for the Federal Buyers Guide. If you are working on an aircraft carrier, Coast Guard cutter or Alaskan crab boat, chances are that you're wearing a Stearns PFD.

Stearns 2013 Military and First Responder Catalog (24 pages). This is one of my favorite covers.
I built 15+ catalogs for Coleman, I learned a lot on each one and they all got progressively better.

AeroBed 2013 Catalog (16 pages). Airbeds aren't the most captivating subject matter, so attractive models don't hurt a bit.

Shirt graphic for a local restaurant fundraiser during covid. 

This is the digital file.

Photo of the final shirt.

2013 Coleman catalog (124 pages). The catalogs took many weeks and many late nights but I enjoyed doing them.

A massive (20' x 6') Coleman Billboard for the Wichita Airport. I liked the version with the classic stainless steel cooler but as it's an ad, a new (at the time) model was used. The red backgrounds were the hardest part of this, it was surprisingly difficult to make it look just right for the size it is going to be. Also, please see the photo correction in the retouching area.

Probably not really portfolio material but it was a fun project. 

Raffanero product lineup.

Calling cards for my friend Eddie.

New logo for Mohave County AZ ED&T. This was definitely a collaborative effort with my boss Keith Hook. I had nothing great but we pulled together some ideas and the clients loved it. 

Brand guidelines I created for the new Mohave County Economic Development & Tourism logo.

Wichita Business Images Coleman print ad.

UTVSports Mag Cover. I usually do many, many versions before I decide on the final.

Here is some photo retouching work. 

It varies from simple recoloring to more extensive, color-crucial projects. 


Some of the work is for the product packaging, so color matching was critical. I had to change existing tents to match the factory-provided, sample cloth color.

Illustration work, 

I really enjoy the process of turning rough sketches into complete vector images.

Production isn’t glamorous, but it’s crucial. What’s the use in designing something that can’t be produced (and reproduced) correctly, on time and budget?  I've been a production artist at a few great Denver agencies and learned quite a bit. This is a small sample of some of the accounts I’ve worked with/on.
