Brand Identity, Design
The challenge: Michaud Cooley Erickson is a well established engineering firm that was in need of an update to bring their brand in line with their modern techniques and culture.
The solution: Inspired by the structures MCE helps build, I developed a symbol and brand system that embodies what sets them apart from other firms, their ability to adapt to any project of any size. The system allows for pieces to move or change color as needed to fit any given design, and still maintain visual consistency.

The challenge: Real Sportscards needed to bring awareness to their new platform design specifically for breaking and sports card collecting. Before Uncommon, social media was the primary means of breaking, but it made for a clunky and frustrating experience with all the additional clutter that came along with it. It was clearly the wrong place for collectors to be.
The solve: Place athletes in the wrong sports and show how bad and uncomfortable things can be when you’re in the wrong place.

The challenge: Real Sportscards needed to get their loyal social media fan base to move over to their new platform design specifically for card collecting and breaking.
The solve: We took characters from their existing branding and brought them to life in studio. Breaker Bryan and Collector Chris talk all about the issues of card collecting on social media and introduce Uncommon, a place specifically designed for breaking and collecting. Bryan and Chris shared their messages on social channels for weeks leading up to the launch and broke down the advantages of the new platform.

Brand Identity, Design
The challenge: Create a brand identity for Uncommon, the new digital platform designed specifically for breaking and sports card collecting.
The solution: A modern brand that is confident, yet humble. Uncommon is a place for all collectors to come and share their passion. Inspired by a baseball diamond and the gems collectors hope to find with each rip of the wax.

The challenge: 3M was looking to expand the appeal of their premium auto films beyond just the high end enthusiast. They wanted to inspire people that your car can be a form of self expression and reflect your unique personality.
The solve: Turns out people can surprise you. The type-A businessman that wears designers suits but goes to punk shows on the weekends. That sweet cat-obsessed grandma down the street has a lifted 4x4 with 37s and loves to hits the trails. We created a series of spots (and subsequent digital content) that highlighted this juxtaposition to grab attention and showcase how 3M premium auto products can help you live your best life, whatever that may mean to you.

The challenge: Create an exciting launch for a new print wrap film that is faster to install and provides better performance to an audience of car enthusiasts. The catch? The film is primarily used on cargo and fleet vehicles.
The solve: Drift a cargo van, of course.

The majority of Maurices stores are in cities with a population of less than 100,000, and they pride themselves on bringing fashion to these smaller communities. This campaign celebrates the small towns Maurices calls home. We visited 12 different towns across the country over a 12 month period and captured what gives each area it's own unique charm.
