This was a super fun project I worked on for Diageo’s 2019 holiday campaign, Bottle & Bow. We created lettering for each personality, which corresponded with different types of drinks.

The third part of my chalkboard series in which I hand letter famous quotes.

This is an on-going series of diagrams that I make based on my daily life.

I was thrilled to work with Brightly (a Penguin Random House company) to make a few banners for their monthly themes. Each color represents a different age group and I made subtle changes in each one to tailor the theme to the age.

In collaboration with LAND Studio and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, I made this mural for the City of Cleveland. It can be seen while riding along the red line train, and is one is a series of several murals made by some incredible artists from around the world.

I love to travel and one of my favorite parts of visiting a place is to research it ahead of time. As I start imagining a city or country, I always want to create images about the place. These three were inspired as I researched a recent trip to England to visit Bath, Stonehenge, Oxford, and London.

A little postcard I hand lettered for fun.

A couple of gift cards I hand lettered and illustrated for Macy’s spring collection.

Hand lettering and illustration for the cover of Texas Highways, for their annual wildflowers issue.

A cover and interior illustration I did for the Arizona Alumni Magazine (my alma mater!). This issue featured the university’s Center for Innovation in Brain Science. The Center’s research focuses on the study of women’s brains and how they are impacted by diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and others.

My first idea (shown in the sketches) was to show an associative brain map. The sketch was approved but then I kept envisioning a woman with words surrounding her. I made another sketch and this became the final. I used the concept of the map or diagram for the interior illustration as a playful way to show science and the brain.

This is a magazine cover illustration celebrating the 25th anniversary of Tech Parks Arizona, a collaboration between the University of Arizona and local business, big and small. The illustration was then adapted for use as a large-scale poster during the anniversary gala and it even wrapped a bus on the UA campus.

Smithsonian Magazine is one of my all-time favorite magazines and I was so honored to be asked to illustrate some maps for a couple of their feature articles. Both projects were a total joy to work on and a dream come true for me.

A cover for the November 2016 issue of American Magazine, featuring an article about a boy with autism. For this image I drew 68 (!) Kindergarteners, with much help from my daughter who is herself now in Kindergarten. I worked with the fabulous art director Maria Jackson. 

The second image is from the interior, accompanying the article.

A cover I made for Texas Highways' April 2016 Wildflower Issue.
