Britesign Design for LEGOLAND Discovery Center

Senior trade Graphic Designer
| LEGOLAND, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE Aquariums

Design & Brand Guardianship for the theme parks & entertainment industry is a fast paced and demanding role to fill. It requires adaptability, in depth knowledge, and problem solving as a base part of your toolkit.

However the pay off to those challenges is a fun and engaging work place that utilizes both your creative skills and your interpersonal skills. At Merlin Entertainments I provided print & digital design for several well known IPs. In my role as graphic designer for the Trade sales group I managed trade design needs for LEGOLAND Parks, Madame Tussaud’s, SEA LIFE Aquariums, The SanFrancisco Dungeon & More!

Over the course of the pandemic as freelance budgets got cut I also stepped in to cover in attraction needs & contributed to the national re-brand of Madame Tussaud’s. Those extra contributions were recognized with my promotion to Senior Trade Designer!

 
 

WANTMAN GROUP, INC.


 
 

Marketing Designer
| Civil Engineering PRofessional MArketing

When working for a civil engineering firm the creative needs cover a vast range of communications both internal and bid focused.

I had to be a multifaceted graphic artist covering everything the firm needed, including but not limited to: isometric mock ups of roads being designed, bid package/booklet layout, resume design, packaging design, internal communications & brand design. As well as offering spot illustrations here and there to pep up internal communications and spec work handled by the creative team! On top of all design responsibilities I also managed relationships with our printers for specialty projects, even doing coil binding and printing myself for smaller bids.

There is never a dull moment when working in professional services marketing. Between emergency projects and hard federal deadlines you learn to problem solve on your feet.

 
 
 

IRON HORSE INVESTMENTS & CONSULTING


 
 

IRON HORSE | Two Logos

Recently I was approached by a client to create two logos for a pair of companies he was starting, One a railroad investment company and the other a consulting group.

Originally for the railroad company, he had requested that I create a Wells Fargo style illustrated logo. We went through a few options and angles and I was asked to incorporate lots of specific iconography like the railroad sign and the horse shaped smoke. The client eventually chose a flat design with red gold and black colors.

For the Consulting company we went though an even wider range of concepts. A wide variety of shapes and symbols were tested until we finally landed on using the horse head shape as a container and as the imagery for the logo itself.

Art Center | Logo Pitch

In 2019 I was invited to submit a pitch for the creation of a logo for a non profit that was seeking funding in Miami. I was given the freedom to create 2 logos with only the parameters of being art & Miami related.

With the non profit being children’s art related I wanted the imagery to be fun and multi-functional. I took the approach of using vibrant and recognizable imagery to create these logos eventually landing on a flamingo and a native plant to Miami called the split leaf philodendron.

I used the colors and shapes of each logo to create adaptable imagery that the foundation could use to interact with the vivid art scene in Miami.
