BLACK HERITAGE MUSEUM OF ARLINGTON
MUSEUM BRANDING & Consulting
Museum consulting services began with an assessment of the current museum. Then I addressed missing foundational graphic assets, adding creative, branded merchandise, designing room flow, and suggesting physical exhibition design elements, educational programs, and funding opportunities. The overall primary needs for the museum hinged on creating community awareness and legitimacy; therefore beginning this project by designing a suite of branding elements was essential.
SOUL COACH
Website Design
Phase 1: Decide on creative style
My client, a Reiki Master, saw my celestial design (Mind/Body) and asked me to design her something with a watery, painterly, hand-made, and relaxed feeling; in our 1st phase, I presented mood boards with four choices of imagery and font styles. My client liked types featuring gold and blues touches to enhance the luxury feeling of self-care and water. We created wireframes and the eventual website she took over in 2021 seen in Phase 2 below.

Festi-belle Graphics
Product packaging
Festi-belle was a Bat Mitzva event with a maker vibe. Simple and pretty, custom abstract background paired with fonts that worked together to achieve a strong, active, and personal feeling. SMILE ON is a clever little pun for the way the guest should feel remembering the Festi-belle event and the function of applying lip balm.
The Button Graphics were signs at an activity station at the event. The same abstract yellow art was used throughout the wayfinding and other graphics at the event as well.
