A strategic blend of paint, branding, wall wraps, cooler graphics, and fixture wayfinding signage transformed this consumable space into a distinct shop within the existing store.

Added Sintra, channeled sign boxes creating a faux soffit to provide way finding in addition to the fixture toppers. Refocused merchandising strategy into category versus collections. This made re-stocking easier for the employees because they didn’t have to worry about making the displays “pretty”.

Developed concept and directed retouching to show the fusion of each flavored candy bar. Pictures are quickly recognizable versus reading text. The fusion images created the whole look and feel of the packaging and uniquely told the flavor story.

Packaging was designed to coordinate when merchandised in a row for maximum impact. The use of color for each package reinforces the flavor image.

Dimensional presentation with dynamic digital, and exterior window wrap featuring rainbow mylar accents.

My design intent was to have a vintage flair using a not so typical substrate. I wanted this displayer to have a premium feel without being too costly. The assembly is dimensional, with the pop-out logo and backer featuring intentional white masking under specific areas like the plane and the logo. The tower allows Miles to sit in the plane while telling the Miracle Flights story.

Classic 1980’s style sale window using printed T-shirt on forms with sale jeans and evergreen sale marketing.

Keeping with the brand colors, this execution was to drive traffic into a new store location with light traffic. Viewable and readable from across the street. The location went from $4k a day to over $10k a day the first weekend of installation.

Sports shop-n-shop dimensional marketing.

Simple and inexpensive way to create impact on large table presentations. This was used in a few large airport locations featuring seasonal candy and gifts.

I needed to develop a new sign vehicle to make a bigger impact visually and keep it separate from the usual 11x14 price sign cards. These two sided shrouds, placed over the standard metal sign holders gave me the punch I needed to communicate the message in such a large department. While being a completely different design, the kids signage worked well visually in conjunction with the seasonal campaign without causing too much sign pollution.

A temporary floor standing sign complimented the 4-way rack shrouds and again provided the extra punch I couldn't get from the standard meal sign holder. It also freed up a standard sign holder to utilize for other promotions.

For larger campaigns I developed bulk stack price boxes to pull the campaign through the racetrack. They served the same function as the regular acrylic sign holders but gave the visual impact I was looking for. Side cards and toppers were utilized throughout the store to call out Mother's Day, Father's Day and July 4th holidays. This approach kept the campaign cohesive throughout the 60,000 sq. ft. store.

This image highlights the racetrack grid toppers featuring the "Mom" inserts for the additional yet flexible call out. This approach saved quite a bit of money by printing less signs.

Testing a promotional and category driven storefront statement utilizing oversized marketing, pointed messaging and organized product presentation.

The sign holder, mannequin and product is positioned to deter theft and keep people from sitting on the sign platform yet keeping the presentation intentional.

I designed, provided production art and coordinated install.

In my spare time I enjoy designing product for the Tiki culture. These are just a few examples of my pieces.

Conceptualized and directed design and photography to quickly send the message of new fruit flavored cigars yet keeping with the Swisher Sweets brand recognition.

Custom product paintings designed for Sterling Jewelers Spring campaign window trim. Each piece was printed on a canvas board and placed in the window using an easel, while completing the look with paint tubes and artist brushes.

Designed cooler wall graphics to create product branding with visual interest and to complete the environmental design. Coordinated production and install.
