ICON MODERN iconmodern.com
Icon Modern is a manufacturer of custom sustainable furniture in the Chicagoland area. They source unique raw materials from Chicago and beyond.

PAULINA MARK ET Paulina Meat Market is an old-school German butcher shop, located in the Lakeview since 1949. At the time of opening, there were more than 25 butcher shops in thew neighborhood, and by the early 1990s, it was the only one remaining, surviving by simultaneously embracing innovation and ensuring quality. Paulina currently doesn’t have a defined logo mark. For the re-brand, I wanted to give them a classic logo that pays homage to Chicago wand their strong history and connection to it, and I made sure that the packaging keept the “old-school” butcher nostalgia.
SWEETY PIES BAKERY Sweety Pies Bakery is a family-owned bakery in Skokie, IL. They pride themselves in their family recipes and specialize in pies, cakes and cupcakes. For the re-brand, although they make other products, I focused on their namesake, pies. I hand-drew the logo in keeping with the spirit of the handmade products of Sweety Pies.
AWARD SHOWDOWN awardshowdown.com
“Let your boyfriends have fantasy football, this app is for us girls.” Award Showdown is an idea I’ve had for a while and am in the process of bringing it to life. This app/website easily allows you to either draft a team of artists from television, movies and music, which we call the showdown, or allows you to participate in what we call the ballot battle where you can battle friends during each award show.

TWO BROThers Brewery Two Brothers Brewing Company is a local brewery whose founders have dedicated themselves to creating artisan beers. Two Brothers beers begin life in a lab. All beer is viewed under the microscope, analyzed, and inspected to ensure the correct oxygen levels, alcohol content and other factors that make a great beer. This scientific process inspired the new Two Brothers labels: I wanted them to look scientific, as well as fit in among the modern craft beers.
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK Orange Is the New Black is a 2010 memoir by Piper Kerman, which tells the story of her money laundering and drug trafficking conviction and subsequent year in a women’s prison. Piper transported a suitcase of money from Chicago to Brussels, which was my inspiration for the book cover.
Cacique Rum Cacique is a top-selling Venezuelan rum. Traditionally in the tribes of Venezuela, the privilege of sharing the rum was exclusive to the chief, or cacique in Spanish. While widely known in Venezuela, the brand has struggled to build brand awareness outside the country. I strived to emphasize tradition and featured the cacique on the bottle, while modernizing his look. I paired the packaging with an app that allows people to be the cacique and share the rum with friends, all while raising awareness of the brand.
