Little Pantry Los Angeles

Little Pantry, Los Angeles, is a foodcart and boutique catering service. The foodcart, acting as the brand lead, draws in new fans with honest talk about good food that’s good for you, bad food that tastes good, and bad food that is just plain bad.

FC Portland Academy

Since 1987, FC Portland Academy has consistently fielded the most competitive premier level youth soccer teams in Oregon. With their 25th anniversary quickly approaching, the club sought to honor the legacy of their founder, Clive Charles, by reintroducing his spirit into both the visual brand and the way the club communicated to its community. The new logo and brand honors the club’s past while providing a foundation for moving forward with clear intention. Extentions to the brand include a Hispanic tournament and the annual Clive Charles Memorial Golf Tournament.

Coca Cola

As part of the preparation for the North American launch of Coca Cola Zero, various visual brand possibilities were explored for the client, which included typography styles, photography, and more generally, the attitude and personality of the brand. These explorations, while not intended to result in specific executions, helped guide the final worldwide visual identity and were distributed to other creative agencies for use as guidance in the creation of future materials.

Gingher

Gingher, the highest-end brand of the Fiskars portfolio, was typically sold in unassuming plastic packaging. Not befitting their $100 price tags or their reputation for generational use. Besides the creation of custom metal cases and clothes label-inspired elastic stitched labels, the packaging form for several dozen products was reduced to less than half a dozen sizes, creating a more cost efficient production line.
