Going solar can be a significant investment for homeowners. The "Welcome to Solar" campaign invited prospects to explore how solar power works, the benefits of SunPower solar, financing options, and more.

Approach

Working as part of SunPower's internal brand team, I served as a point of contact with their marketing team—consulting on brand strategy and visual communications while leading creative execution across multiple projects. For this campaign, the microsite grew with the email cadence: new landing pages were added as each email went out, guiding prospects deeper into the solar journey. Custom illustrations brought technical concepts to life.

The work gave SunPower a clear, welcoming entry point for homeowners considering solar—and demonstrated the value of close collaboration between brand and marketing.

Northgate Juice Joint needed a visual identity and website that separated it from national smoothie chains. Without a budget for online ordering, the owner wanted the site to encourage customers to call ahead to skip the line, while keeping it easy to update the site content herself as menu items changed.

Approach

I handled the visual identity, UI/UX, and photography. The process included customer interviews, sketches, wireframing, and prototyping.

I handled the visual identity, UI/UX, photography, and project management—coordinating between customers, the owner, and the developer. The process included customer interviews, sketching, wireframing, and prototyping.

The site takes a mobile-first approach with flexible navigation: users toggle between list and grid views, then tab between product shots and nutritional details. Simple, functional, and built for students ordering on their phones.

The work gave a local juice bar a distinct look and a practical tool for running their business.

Who makes the World's Greatest Hamburger®?
Fuddruckers and you.

At Fuddruckers, the World's Greatest Hamburger® starts in the kitchen and finishes at the toppings bar. Fresh ingredients and endless customization put customers in control.

Our work championed that spirit across key touchpoints: food photography, viral campaigns, in-store promotions, and a franchise advertising engine that scaled local marketing nationwide.

The work? As customizable as the burgers.

Chuy’s

Art Direction

The King of Tex-Mex is expanding. What started as a unique Austin favorite can now be found even farther east than Graceland. The theme at Chuy’s is—there is no theme. Each restaurant has its own funky style. What they all share is celebrating Elvis’ birthday and Chuy’s annual Green Chile Festival.

The work celebrates Chuy's irreverent spirit—colorful, quirky, and authentically Tex-Mex. No corporate cookie-cutter here.

Package Design

From living mulch to worm castings, The EarthSweet brand was built from the ground up by the team at fosforus.

The leaf logo shape is used to create a floral graphic that is color-coded for each product. The result is a clean bright package design that stands out in a crowded marketplace. And yes, with a name like EarthSweet, the bags are biodegradable.

Cinco - The Five Star Vodka

SCROLL to see all work in this section.

Site Architecture, Site Design

As one of the first licensed distilleries in Texas, Asar Distillery situated its hand-hammered copper pot still, named Betty, near San Antonio. Launching the high-quilty American wheat vodka required a web presence to match.

The site allowed users to locate bars serving Cinco, find Cinco events, or view and listen to The Five Star Vodka’s tv and radio spots. One of the goals was to educate vodka lovers and to make shareable the innovative Cincology recipes put together by top mixologists. All this while maintaining the high standard set by the brand’s voice.

Beer Cow Beer

Viral Marketing

The idea for this viral campaign was brewed up well before the craft beer craze hit Texas. While the inverted six-pack was a clever and playful way to convey cow udders, it was important that the design lacked refinement and embraced a deliberately homespun aesthetic.

Check out a few screenshots from the "mom-and-pop" website below—great copy for a fun project that is still getting laughs.
