A well-designed logo is more than a graphic—it communicates an organization's identity, values, and personality. I enjoy partnering with businesses and organizations to create clean, memorable logos that are versatile across print, digital media, signage, and promotional materials.
Whether I'm creating a logo, developing a course, or designing a learning resource, every project begins with understanding the audience and designing a solution that communicates clearly and effectively.
In July 2018, I was honored to be selected as the winner of the Willow Center logo design competition. The Willow Center for Grieving Children provides support to children, teens, and families coping with the loss of a loved one. Learn more about the center and their mission on the Willow Center website.
Having learned about the Willow Center years earlier while working at Neill Public Library—and later experiencing the loss of a family member myself—I felt a personal connection to the organization's mission. My goal was to create a logo that reflected hope, compassion, and healing while providing a lasting visual identity for the organization.

Small business in Oshkosh, Nebraska. The owner, Tyler Ardissono, offers wireless internet and technology services across the Panhandle region. His access point is located on a decommissioned water tower, and the tower in the logo is reminiscent of that unique feature.

Small business in Pullman, Washington. Owner, Melissa Johnson, wanted a straightforward and calming design for her logo, thus I came up with a tranquil blue with classic black and white design. The lotus flower symbolizes strength and rebuilding, perfect for this social services office.
The Garden County Community Chamber of Commerce requested the design of a logo for their new slogan, "Growing...Together." I am a graduate of Garden County High School, so they reached out to me to develop the logo. For colors we went with purple to represent the schools in the county, green to represent the "grow" theme and all the farming in the region, and blue to represent the North Platte River that runs through the county. The image of the tree, with a trunk of layered hands, is rising from the hills and rivers of the region....Growing...Together.
