It’s no secret that I love all things crafty. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to work in papercrafts. Cards, scrapbooks, art pieces and more. I’ve been connected with Cathy at Remember When for years, and have been attending her events since 2010. So when we started chatting about making her some new advertising materials, I knew just where we should go. 1950’s all the way! This fun retro design speaks directly to her business name, inspires fun, and brings back all the memories we want to make sure we preserve.

Mankato Youth Place
Block Party Advertising
Mankato Youth Place is a wonderful organization providing after school and summer programming for kids who would not have access to it otherwise. Each year, they hold a Block Party fundraiser to support their mission. It is a fun community event, and so the look and feel of their advertisements reflect that. I created a poster, postcard, advertisements and social media graphics for Mankato Youth Place’s Block Party event.
Gari Jo came to me at the beginning of her business journey, looking for a logo and branding that would reflect her vision of how she wanted Body Concepts to look and feel. Over the years we have built branding that really embraces how much Body Concepts can bring to their customers through health and wellness, relaxation and natural practices. Some of the items I’ve created for Gari Jo include brochures, rack cards, postcards and gift certificates.

ACT on Alzheimers Mankato & North Mankato
ACT on Alzheimers Mankato & North Mankato does so much for our community, it’s an honor to lend my skills to help them raise awareness and provide services to our area. Creating artwork, like the musical instruments featured on this flyer and social media post are a fun touch to grab attention to Rhythmic Times. I have also created a Resource Guide, concert flyers, programs, lots of social media artwork, and I also maintain their website for them.
I am committed to designing logos that truly reflect the essence of a business. My process begins with a deep understanding of the company’s goals, its target audience, and the desired style of the logo. Once I have a clear vision, I allow creativity to take over. I develop multiple strong logo concepts while exploring alternative perspectives to ensure a variety of design options. With countless possibilities for logo direction, I approach each project with enthusiasm and a commitment to delivering diverse, high-quality choices. My clients trust me for my expertise in logo design, and I am confident you will be pleased with the results.
Logos and more logos
I have had the privilege of contributing to Ascent Financial’s branding and advertising efforts since the company’s inception. My involvement included designing a comprehensive brochure to highlight the full range of services offered, a detailed map showcasing service areas and team member regions, attention-grabbing postcards, and concise flyers for a quick overview of the company’s offerings. Although I was not involved in the initial logo design, I drew inspiration from its angles and color palette, which influenced my creative direction. The result is a professional yet approachable visual identity that reflects both the company’s expertise and its personalized service.

Minnesota Farmer’s Union Bottleneck Project Report
This grant-funded division of the Minnesota Farmer’s Union sought a solution to present their extensive research in a clear, concise, and visually engaging printed report. The primary objective was to maximize readership in order to advance the initiative’s momentum. Given the volume of information, the challenge was to balance text with strategic typography, graphics, and images, ensuring the report remained engaging and accessible. Additionally, I designed infographics to highlight key research data for quick, impactful understanding. The result was a highly effective report that gained a lot of attention and contributed to the growth of their movement.
