2020 Muhlendorf Bar Mitzvah Package

2020 Muhlendorf Bar Mitzvah Package
Freelance Design | Norfolk, Virginia

My client really wanted to make a statement with a custom-designed Bar Mitzvah package to send to family and friends, inviting them to join the celebration. I designed a save-the-date, a matching invitation, stickers to go on the outside of the packages (one for Bar Mitzvah, one for Birthday), a custom face mask, custom-designed playing cards to match, an accordion-style Chanukah Blessings card, personalized Thank-You notes from the family, an event schedule, and a special personalized program booklet outlining the entire Bar Mitzvah Service from start to finish. Before the pandemic, I never imagined that my design portfolio would come to include a “face mask,” yet COVID-19 has definitely changed the way the world operates, including having an interesting impact on design jobs.

2020 Patriot Ridge Horse Farm

2020 Patriot Ridge Horse Farm
Logo Re-creation + Website Design
Freelance Design | Camden, NC

A budding equestrian facility near me was up and coming, so with a shared passion for everything equine, I offered my services to assist with their website. Creating a clean, easy-to-navigate, professional site with basic information and programming, I outfitted their website head-to-toe with the owner’s own stellar photography, meaning nothing on this site is stock, but all 100% representative of their lovely farm, gorgeous horses, and amazing purpose in the Camden equine community.

The original “logo” for Patriot Ridge Horse Farm was based on the hanging sign at the entrance to the farm’s drive. It was strictly a sign design, that is, until I recreated it into a vector logo. The client wanted to brand the farm’s identity with this same image since the outline of the horse is that of the owner’s own heart horse, Monster, who is the inspiration behind Patriot Ridge.

When a local cattle farm in Northeastern North Carolina reached out to me to design their logo, I was happy to get to work. The client was very specific on wanting the imagery to show cattle resting in the shade of a beech tree, to compliment the company name: Beech Grove Cattle Co.

Local waterways conservation is important to me, as our local rivers are the lifeblood of the Hampton Roads community, so I was more than thrilled to assist Lynnhaven River NOW with the identity design for their 18th Annual Oyster Roast Fundraiser. I designed the flyers, invitations, RSVP cards, envelopes and restaurant cards in support of this event.

2020 OST: Ohef Sholom Temple Membership Directory

Ohef Sholom Temple Membership Directory
Graphic & Web Designer | Ohef Sholom Temple | Norfolk, Virginia

Every couple of years, Ohef Sholom Temple does a fundraiser that benefits congregants and local business owners and puts together a Membership Directory for our entire congregation. Many of the sponsors who submit ads have theirs pre-made, but some have us do their ads in-house, so I got to show off some of my design skills creating different ads for different clients that all went into one publication, which I also laid out and designed.

2020 OST: Love Thy Neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor
Graphic & Web Designer | Ohef Sholom Temple | Norfolk, Virginia

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit our area in the spring of 2020, Ohef Sholom Temple wanted to create a community initiative to support of the front line health care workers, local food banks and area food pantries, the OST Soup Kitchen, Norfolk Emergency Shelter Team (NEST), OST’s Immigration Task Force, and Norfolk’s ForKids organization, to name a few. The idea of Love Thy Neighbor is to offer as much community love and support as possible to help those in need who are now faced with the potential growing hardships of a pandemic. I created the logo for this initiative around 3 hearts interlocking, with the two hearts on the end have simple, circular “heads” to portray “neighbors” arm-in-arm with love. The typeface I used perfectly compliments the idea of “Love Thy Neighbor” as it exhibits subtle little hearts in the lettering.

2019-2020 Virginia Chorale

2019-2020 Virginia Chorale
Cover Design for Concert Series Programs
Freelance Design | Norfolk, Virginia

The Virginia Chorale was in need of a cover design for their 2019-2020 winter concert series and I happily took on the challenge, creating a simple, very minimal, yet elegant design that incorporated the Virginia Chorale logo with the bronze bust of a female singer perfectly captured mid-note, along with the title of the concert and date, all on a white background. The statue featured can be found at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, and is titled “Song”(1920-1964) by artist Hugo Robus (American, 1885- 1964), whose image lended itself beautifully to this cover design.

2019 Roaring 20s Holiday Card

2019 Roaring 20s Holiday Card
Freelance Design | Family Holiday Card | Norfolk, VA

The end of 2019 marked the beginning of this century’s “Roaring 20s” and in true art deco fashion, I was tasked with creating a personalized holiday card for my client that had a “Roaring 20s” feel to it that welcomed everyone into the new decade. The family wanted to highlight many of the modern conventions held in the 1920s that still resonate with each member in the 2020s. I featured each family member in a grainy, sepia-toned, “talkie” film-style alongside the trait they identified with most. This card was also a custom cut and fold, where there are two folds – one on each outside edge of the card – with the flaps folding in on itself to create a cover that opens from the center. This layout provided me with a welcome change from designing the usual, standard, half-fold card, and I had to get the design and cuts just right to make them line up perfectly on the cover.
