Johnny Cee

Goal Johnny Cee is a musician in Milwaukee, WI who I first heard on the album Dog Eared Dream by Willy Porter while I was in college.  The drums really stood out to me as being unique and expressive.  I actually had to learn one of the songs as a cover for a band I was playing in at the time and ended up playing along to the whole album just for fun.  I was instantly a fan of the band, and the drummer and have been ever since.  Many years later, I have come to know John and his......

Liv’s Drink Emporium

Goal My sister asked me to come up with the branding for her new business, "Liv's Drink Emporium".  My sister and her husband have five kids and they know how expensive it can be for a meal out. With that in mind, they keep our prices low. You can get drinks and snacks for your family at a price that would normally cost the price of a single meal at an upscale restaurant in town.  I wanted to present the Emporium as an upscale establishment and not portray it as a budget shop.  Just because the food is cheap doesn't......

Put Yourself In Their Shoes.

Growing up, a lesson I learned very early on was to “put yourself in other people’s shoes”.  This basically means to have empathy for other people.  The ability to feel empathy is a great asset to have when it comes to creating websites and user experiences.  As a developer, you can tend to get buried...

ProSale Nation Website

Instant Car Offers Logo and Website

PROSALE Nation LLC I created an identity for PROSALE Nation LLC where you provide your vehicle information, and they give you our offer on the same day.  I made the form as easy as possible to attain customer information keeping the site essentially one page.  Easy peasy.  I was also tasked with creating the identity for the company which I played off of the owner's military background, being that the mark resembled a peace symbol with an obvious automotive nod and you can't forget the happy face :)...
