September 2022: I’m proud to be serving as volunteer creative director for a new non-profit startup, the Human Milk Connection Foundation. Started by a close friend of mine who is a lactation consultant, this 501c3 organization works to provide California families access to Pasteurized Donor Human Milk (PDHM) and lactation support to meet the nutritional needs of their children, regardless of familial background, circumstances, or socio-economic status. The foundation’s mission is to alleviate this inaccessibility by raising funds to offset the costs of donor human milk and help any baby get the chance to receive it. Along with the website and logo, I will be designing and managing their social media accounts and fundraising event marketing. Check them out at HumanMilkConnection.org

DECEMBER 2019: I designed this label and digital illustration, in Adobe Illstrator for our own “brand” of olive oil. It’s not totally ours though; it’s actually the product of a community milling event at Il Fiorello Olive Oil Co. in Fairfield, CA. Our five dwarf olive trees produced over 46 lbs of olives, which we delivered to Il Fiorello on November 24. A week later we picked up our nearly 1 gallon jug of oil, which has a much fresher and earthy flavor than your average store-bought oil.

MARCH 2016: I’m proud to be volunteering my time for my good friend Michael Minnick, who is running for SCUSD school board area 4 this year. Michael is a tireless advocate for district teachers and students, and a talented educator himself. I designed his new logo, some print materials, and am currently working on a new WordPress-based website.

Michael and his wife Rachel are big fans of Mid-Century Modern architecture and design, so we decided to incorporate that vernacular into his entire visual branding by using the classic Neutraface font and a cool teal blue and grey color scheme.

Vote Minnick 2016!
