A Penny Shaved

My entrepreneurial (definitely didn't spell that correctly the first three attempts) friend, Perrin, has started a new adventure into the world of shaving products. An odd venture, one might think, but I'm willing to bet that in a few months, A Penny Shaved will be your #1 shaving resource website :)

Below is the logo I designed for him. Good luck, P!

E + C Wedding

pretty little pink invitation. Just the perfect color for a June wedding. Emily's main color is blush pink with accents of poppy, sage, mint and burlap (is that a color? well, the color of burlap). She is possibly the most laid back bride I've ever worked with. She very much spoiled me. I'm sure with that attitude she will have a beautiful and enjoyable wedding day. Congrats, Emily!

Sparketing

About a month ago my husband, John, took the huge (and maybe a bit scary) leap into becoming his own boss. He quit his job and along with an old co-worker he started his own research firm. For those of you who know John it's hard to believe that statistics and research would become two defining adjective. However, he continues to surprise us all - including myself.

Well, with a graphic designer for a wife, I told him that before they made a single spread sheet or pie chart or whatever database they're rigging up, they needed a logo. Here's my contribution to Sparketing - Ignite You're Marketing!

pssst..the last one is the final.

People's Produce Logo

Taking produce grown by local Amish communities to the inner city. Or as you should know it, the most exciting new non-profit in Columbia, MO. Logos #1 and #2 were the runner ups and logo #3 will be what you see on trucks around town.

R + L Wedding Invitations

hen Rachel approached me about designing her wedding invitations I thought to myself, "this is going to be good...muhahaha!" Few clients let me experiment on their wedding invites, but Rachel, being the creative adventurer that she is, gave me the go-ahead. Wahoo! My first order of business was to print them on wood. And isn't the final product so lovely? I want to print everything on wood now. My second thrill during this project was working with Emilie at Lief Design. She did all of the beautiful calligraphy.

Now that I've branched out a bit with my print production, I wonder what else I can print on besides paper...any ideas? Or maybe the better question is, anyone willing?

What I have to go through to get a decent picture...

But isn't she so cute?

In2Action Logo

In2Action is a not-for-profit lawn care company working to help ex-offenders reenter society. All proceeds are re-invested back into the community to address issues such as unemployment, poverty, and public safety.

Extra Mile Logo

When Love INC of Columbia, Missouri emerged a few years ago, few people imagined how far it would reach and how many people it would help. It's still growing and changing, but today there are three main divisions - The Love Seat, First Impressions (and the newest edition) Extra Mile. 

The Love Seat is a furniture bank. First Impressions is a professional clothing closet, and Extra Mile is a one-on-one adult mentoring program. All of these services are available to those in need.

For me as a designer, what this means is a little family of logos. The first couple are drafts and the third is the final Extra Mile logo.

Below are the existing Love Seat and First Impressions logos.

Katie Day Photography Rebranded

This past month I had the pleasure of working with the fabulous Katie Day and rebranding Katie Day Photography. Here are a few logos we sifted through before finding the perfect fit. Take a look at her website to see the final result.
