A Brand StudioAt A Brand Studio I’ve been fortunate enough to dip my feet in every aspect of the

branding and design pool. I started off as a young design intern with little knowledge

of type hierarchy or packaging rules. Since then, I’ve learned more than I ever

imagined I could stuff my creative brain with. Not only have I perfected my typography

and can call myself an expert on packaging, I also have found a love for web design

and hand lettering.

A the studio, I have been able to contribute concepts for every project, communicate

directly with the client and attend meetings, art direct my creative director, head the

production side for every project, and assist in photoshoots. I’m also able to practice

my visual art skills through illustration, iconography and logo design.

The creative side of design isn’t the only thing I’ve learned a lot about during my time

at A Brand Studio. I often find myself in a management role for many projects, as well

as around the studio. I think it’s safe to say that I wear many hats and love them all.

One of the first projects I contributed on at A Brand Studio was for our own website where I lead the design for all the work pages.

It was my job to figure out the best way to organize all of the client work in a way that would best show our unique creative process.

I decided it was important to show our process in chronological order because that’s how we actually work with our clients -- we start with strategy + discovery and work all the way through expo.

This was the best user experience for site visitors that could potentially be future clients. I wanted to make sure they could have the full branding experience that A Brand Studio offers.

TXPOSTI started working for the Texas Partnership for Out of School Time (TXPOST) in 2012 as their communications and operations intern. They soon discovered my graphic design skills and hired me on part-time as their designer. I continue to provide my design services for this education advocacy non-profit as a freelancer.

While working for TXPOST, I designed their 2012 Annual Report. The organization’s identity in the past has been very playful with lots of photography and graphics. I wanted to keep this identity in their annual report, but clean it up so that they would have an easy to read and alluring report to share with their board members, sponsors, and partners.

The goal of this project was to take something that is usually not so interesting and create it into something that the target audience would want to read. With bold, colorful call-outs and interesting but simple graphics, this goal was achieved.

NurturMeNurturMe is a line of delicious and nutritious organic baby food based out of Austin,

TX. A Brand Studio was lucky enough to start off the branding process at the very

beginning with NurturMe and continues to help the company grow by assisting in all

their design and rebranding needs.

With the knowledge that the company is more of a lifestyle brand with playful graphics, I have been able to produce social media posts and help concept packaging, collateral, and expo material.

After my creative director creates the final design for all these pieces, I take lead in all of the production changes that need to happen, often working one-on-one with the client.

In Spring 2015, the company decided to redesign some of their website pages to become more in-line with the new Quinoa campaign. I was able to design these pages based off the new quinoa snack packaging and content we created for the campaign.

Oatmega BarOatmega Bar is a nutritional protein bar company that was looking to rebrand their entire business. The founder, Trevor Ross, was passionate about giving back to the community and wanted to incorporate this into his business by donating their product to local food banks. They came to A Brand Studio for all of their branding needs.

This project started off with packaging and logo redesign. I was given the opportunity to design a concept to show the client. I started off by sketching different logo ideas and mocking up a few grid structures for packaging.

To represent the new giving back aspect of their company, I created a hand logo that also resembled a heart. Above this logo are flavor icons for each bar.

I created a stylized icon set to illustrate the flavors and benefits of the protein bar. Each icon was also accompanied by a specific color correlated with that flavor. I had to choose color based on taste and made sure each one would really respond well with consumers.

Not only was I able to be a designer for this client, I was also the lead production artist for packaging, print collateral, clothing, shipper stand, and website.

This project was a collaborative experience with my creative director where I learned a lot of my production skills. These skills included packaging and stationery rules, how to set up website files, and the organization and management of a large project.

As part of Oatmega’s rebrand into a giving company, we helped direct their video and photoshoot. We filmed the process of giving their product to local food banks as a way to show consumers the transparency of the company. I was lucky enough be a part of this as an assistant to my creative director and an extra in the video.

Stubborn FoodieAmanda Rales, founder of Stubborn Foodie, came to A Brand Studio

with no brand and a product that was still just an idea. We helped her

turn her ready-to-bake cake batter into a marketable brand that would

stand out in the refrigerated section at Whole Foods.

I was able to contribute packaging and logo concepts for Stubborn Foodie. After several rounds of logo design, my creative director and myself created the final logo for the client. She came up with the typography while I created the circle symbol. I also helped tweak the typography to make it a more ownable mark.

For the packaging concepts, I really wanted to play up the humor in the headlines by making them very large in a handwritten typeface. I illustrated the flavors in a line-drawing style in order to create a harmony with the playfulness of the type and copy.

Because the product was so new to the market, I really wanted to make sure the customer would be able to know what the end result would be. So for one concept, I decided that the best way to show this was through final product photography.

In order to make the product easy to understand for the consumer, I created simple icons to show just how effortless it takes to make. These were incorporated on the final website and one-sheet.

I assisted in the photography

direction to help create a tasty,

healthy looking brand that

reached across all brand touch-

points.

During the photoshoot, we focused on showcasing the clean, simple ingredients used in the product in order to highlight the fact that the brand doesn’t compromise for quality.

The taste-factor of the product was also an important component to the photoshoot. I helped with the food styling to ensure that the product always looked delicious.

Being a part of this project from the very beginning made it easy to work on the production for packaging, website and print collateral. I worked directly with the client for most of the change rounds and learned how to work more efficiently and accurately with her demands.

I was also able to work directly with the printer for packaging, and even went to the facility to view proofs and learn about the process of digital vs offset printing. This was an important experience for me because it has since helped me educate other clients when they need to go to print.

Wild GoldWild Gold has been a client of A Brand Studio’s for 2 years. The company is an all-natural, Camelina based horse supplement product line. They came to us for a rebrand of their website as they added new products to their brand.

I was the lead designer for the website rebrand design for Wild Gold where I took the wireframe of the old site we had designed and reworked it to better fit the demands for an expanded product line.

The new product line was more robust because there were multiple types of consumers. In order to design a user-friendly, easy to navigate website, we needed to think through all the different target markets to determine what benefits were most important to call-out.

After designing the website, it was easy to take this strategy across all brand touch-points, including all print collateral.

We at the New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program at the Marysville, OH facility have been using Wild Gold for 4 months now and we’ve seen a difference in the quality of their coats. Those who’ve completely shed out have nice dapples and glossy coats which is nice to see on the harder to keep Thoroughbreds in our care. Of the 48 horses we’ve given the supplement to so far, every single horse has eaten the supplement right away, including the picky eaters. I’d recommend Wildgold to anyone looking to improve their horses overall condition.

PLANT-BASED SUPPLEMENT

made from cold-pressed camelina oil

Why Camelina? Besides being essential to your horse’s diet, the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in Wild Gold Original Camelina Oil have been shown to positively impact cell membrane response to trauma and infection as well as reducing inflammation.

Recent research in horses has even shown that

fatty acids may have the potential to help regulate

insulin sensitivity. Wild Gold also contains 

naturally occurring Vitamin E that not only

prevents rancidity of the product but also provides

your horse with a potent anti-inflammatory in a

form that can be easily digested.

Many performance horses are at risk of gastroin-testinal distress caused by frequent changes in hay, the stress of travel, and the rigors of training. Performance demands may also increase inflam-mation and take their toll on immune function.

Wild Gold Premium has been formulated to

provide your horse with added support from DHA,

a more potent anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty

acid, as well as Alltech’s Bio-Mos® to promote

good digestive bacteria, and Aloe Vera shown to

positively impact ulsers.

Why Camelina? The omega fatty acids in Wild Gold Camelina Oil benefit your dog in many ways.

Their powerful anti-inflammatory properties

reduce inflammation throughout the body

benefitting joint, heart, and brain health and

improving blood circulation. They work to reduce

shedding, give dogs glossier coats and healthier

skin, and help prevent and treat hot spots.

Omega fatty acids also provide much-needed

energy for performance dogs.

Why Camelina? Camelina oil is produced under cold compression to insure its beneficial nutrients are maintained, which have been proven to help lower cholesterol and fight heart disease, arthritis, and high blood pressure.

Beyond its use as a dietary supplement,

camelina oil is also a healthy, incredibly

versatile cooking oil. With an extremely high

smoke point of 475° F, it’s well-suited for

moderate to high levels of heat makingit perfect

for stir- and deep-frying or to create sauces,

dips, marinades and vinaigrettes.

Why Camelina?

Many horses today receive limited amounts of essential omega-3 fatty acids and natural Vitamin E like those found in Wild Gold Camelina Oil due to restricted access to grazing.

Both of these nutrients are vital to your horse’s optimal health.

BENEFITS· Plant-based Source of Omega Fatty Acids

· Natural Vitamin E

· Traceable Source

· GMO & Gluten Free

· No Fish Oil, Trans Fat or Glucosamine

DIRECTIONS 1 to 2 ounces per day

INGREDIENTS Cold pressed Camelina Sativa

(L. Crantz) Oil, Vanillan, Ethyl

Butyrate and other flavors.

WARNING Check with a veterinarian

before use. These statements

Food & Drug Administration.

This product is notintended to

diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent

any disease.

Camelina oil is the foundation of all of our Wild Gold products. Extracted from sustainable Camelina

sativa plants that are harvested from small family owned farms, the oil is produced under cold

compression to insure its beneficial nutrients are maintained.

Research has shown that the omega fatty acid profile of camelina oil positively impacts cell membrane

composition. The omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid found in camelina oil is the same form of omega-3

fatty acid found in the horse’s natural plant-based diet. The problem is that the majority of horse diets

today are made up of dried forages that contain very little omega fatty acid due to the fact that these

fatty acids are not heat stable. This means that while horses may consume plenty of omega-3 fatty

acids from good quality pasture, when grass is dried to make hay the omega-3s are lost. Many of the

oils and fat sources we have traditionally relied upon in equine diets such as corn oil, canola oil, and

rice bran, contain very low levels of omega-3 fatty acids and over supply omega-6 fatty acids.

Research has shown that after 90 days, canines fed supplemental DHA had lower levels of markers

associated with joint inflammation. In other studies, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids showed

an increase in stride length as compared to dogs receiving other supplements. For these reasons,

supplemental sources of dietary omega-3 fatty acid such as those provided in Wild Gold Original and

Premium may be of benefit to aged dogs su¢ering from osteoarthritis as well as performance dogs

whose joints are subjected to high impact. The DHA in Wild Gold Premium may be of particular benefit

to those dogs already su¢ering from joint inflammation.

The omega fatty acids in Wild Gold Camelina Oil benefit your dog in many ways. The most

noticeable impact is likely to be their e¢ect on coat quality. Camelina oil provides a source of

omega-6 fatty acid that is necessary for water permeability of skin and supplementation with

fatty-acids is often noted to turn previously dull, dry and brittle coats into glossier coats that

shed less. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce itching associated with hot spots

due not only to their impact on coat and skin but also their anti-inflammatory properties. These

powerful anti-inflammatory properties reduce inflammation throughout the body with potential

benefits to joints making them a good choice for older dogs. For working and performance

dogs, fatty acids provide a source of much-needed energy.

Camelina oil is also used in beauty routines to nourish and heal skin. The Vitamin E and omega fatty acids

help improve skin elasticity, repair damaged skin cells, and prevent free radical damage. And it’s a great hair

Beyond its use as a dietary supplement, camelina oil is also a

smoke point of 475° F (much higher than olive, coconut, canola, and

grapeseed), it’s well-suited for moderate to high levels of heat

The smooth, nutty flavor blends really well with other flavors to

create sauces, dips, and vinaigrettes. It’s ideal for marinades since it

doesn’t congeal. And it has a shelf life of two years—much longer

than other omega-3 oils such as flax and chia.

You may already know the importance of polyunsaturated (omega-3s and 6s) and

monounsaturated fats (omega-9s) to a healthy diet, but you may not know that the

balance of these fats is just as significant to your good health. If not balanced by

omega-3, too much of certain types of omega-6s in the diet can result in

inflammation, which is associated with a number of health concerns, including asthma

and allergies, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Wild Gold Camelina Oil has an ideal

balance with a 2:1:2 ratio of omega-3, -6, and -9, respectively.

Peace Officer FilmPeace Officer is a feature documentary film about the increasingly militarized state of American police as told through the story of William “Dub” Lawrence, a former sheriff who established and trained his rural state’s first SWAT team only to see that same unit kill his son-in-law in a controversial standoff 30 years later. The film premiered at the SXSW film festival and was a Grand Jury winner as well as an Audience Award Winner. The film continues to show at film festivals across the country and has won several other awards.

Scott Christopherson and Brad Barber, the directors of Peace Officer, came to me directly to be their web designer for the film. I excitedly took this freelance job after viewing the thought-provoking film.

A major theme of the documentary is the thin line between ignorance and corruption. The film evoked this theme visually with a dark setting that had an air of mystery. I wanted to keep this look and feel throughout the site to draw in the attention of viewers and keep them interested so they go to a screening of the film.

This was the first project I was able to concept, design, and art direct myself for the client presentation of concepts. I designed three different logos, packaging designs, and website layouts to show the client a brand overview look and feel in order for her to get a better idea of how the brand would look cohesively.

The first concept touched on the heritage aspect of the brand story. The client is very traditional and I wanted to keep this in mind while also staying modern and clean.

The second concept focused on the bold authenticity of the product and company. The product has a high-end price range so I wanted to design a brand that looked expensive, yet approachable and credible.

The final concept was a more feminine approach that had an artisan look and feel. I wanted a balance between high-end and craftsmanship to show the traditional aspect of the brand and the high quality ingredients.
