The Shedd Aquarium: Chicago

I just finished a huge project for the Shedd Aquarium here in Chicago. If you’re in town, check out the Polar Play Zone at the new Oceanarium. I created tons of underwater characters for activity signage, interactive play exhibits, a 70 foot mural and lots of branding elements used throughout the space...over 60 illustrations were created to bring this exhibit to life. The aquarium is so full of amazing creatures and characters. It was great to be part of a team that helps create an environment where kids can explore and learn!

Utopia Paper Gift Wrap

I worked with Utopia Paper of Appleton Coated Papers and Lake County Press on a really lovely promotional package. I developed a set of colorful patterns which we used on gift wrap and gift tags to promote our specialties to our clients collectively. Lake County Press worked their printing magic on Utopia's dreamy paper.

Crumble. Crackle. Burn.

This was my illustration for ”crumble. crackle. burn,” a book project by Von Glitschke. It's filled with illustrations that combine textures with illustration. I've seen this book all over the place...borders, art stores, museum shops, etc. it was a great opportunity to be in the book with so many other talented folks.
