The campaign included web, print, and marketing components, all of which I designed and executed as well. The mailer meets all USPS requirements, and HPI experienced increased web traffic and sales.

Trade Show BoothDesign and productionSanyo Energy

Skills: Concept/mockupIllustrationGraphics productionBooth construction For ten years, I helped conceive, design, and construct the prominent booth Sanyo Energy featured at the Consumer Electronics Show, along with all related print materials, giveaways, and other coordinated items for the giant New Year’s show. This included large-scale displays, free-standing displays and material holders (brochures, etc), and purely custom-built items. For instance, we crafted a university for one show, complete with ivied brick walls and a large “classroom” stage area. We also built an entire display into a semi-truck trailer, and parked the fully graphically treated truck in the middle of the CES show floor.

The NCTD releases a Ride Guide every year. This was their first year with the Sprinter in operation, and I generated from technical illustrations new maps for every route, including the BREEZE buses, the SPRINTER train, and the COASTER train.

Outdoor SignageDesign and productionLowes Ventana Canyon Resort

Skills: Concept/mockupIllustrationGraphics productionDieline creation Loews’ Ventana Canyon is a five-diamond resort in the desert north of Tucson. After a damaging flood the management decided to completely overhaul an only modestly developed nature walk, and they wanted a great experience for their visitors. So they brought me in. I went to the resort and walked the trails, sketching and comping a variety of signage options. Afterwards I sourced the signs to an appropriate vendor, keeping in mind the fact that they were to be outside in punishing Arizona weather. I researched the animals and plants in the area, gathered all materials, and produced files for over 200 signs to grace their nature walk, managed the project on budget, and delivered the signs when specified, even handling the packing and shipping myself. The response from guests has been universally positive, with the signs in place even today.

Franchisee MaterialsDesign and productionScreenmobile

Skills: Concept/mockupIllustrationGraphics productionDieline creation Quantum was brought on board to manage all of the 250-franchisee network’s materials, designing, producing, and digitally distributing materials nationwide to a fractious group of autonomous franchisees. After approval of graphics, I created customizable materials for franchisees to deploy magazine, newspaper, Yellow Pages, web, radio, and other advertisements in what was called a Top Of Mind Awareness Kit (TOMA Kit). I helped craft all visual communications materials, from start to finish, and designed an online distribution method based around Screenmobile’s website…still being used by the growing franchise to this day.

Web & Corporate IdentityDesign and productionHelioPower Energy Solutions

Skills: Concept/mockupCorporate identityIllustrationGraphics productionWeb productionStylesheet development HPI, a solar installer in California and Nevada, needed a web upgrade, along with a corporate identity makeover. After a creative meeting I mocked up and upon approval produced an entire suite of coordinated business materials, in matching styles, including cards, presentation folders, brochures, and templates for advertising. I also generated a style guide, showing color and logo usage, for their new materials.

Upon approval of identity materials we developed a new site, with an entirely new look and feel, built on a development server. I managed the entire site’s content transfer, troubleshooting, and cleanup, getting the site ready for launch. Additionally I integrated the site with Salesforce and Constant Contact, the CRM used by HPI. I also produced video and audio for the website and other promotional use.

Additionaly I generated trade show materials, such as booth graphics and backdrops, which I built to spec, vended, and sometimes constructed personally.
