Illy

Recipe booklet concept for the creative coffee mixologist, courtesy of Illy.

Eight O'Clock Coffee

A coffee brand that’s innovative and explorative needed ways to compete with the big names like Starbucks, McCafé, Keurig and more. Through the development of a Central Perk coffee shop to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Friend’s, thousands of fans got to interact with the brand in Manhattan. Over 1 million impressions put Eight O’Clock Coffee in the forefront and top of mind for more consumers attracted to the brands affiliation with Warner Bros and the show.

Putting emphasis on Eight O’Clock Coffee’s other products such as Brazilian Breakfast and the unique line of Infusions coffee continue their run as one of the biggest variety brands on shelf.

French's Foods

Series of visual concepts for French’s Foods, to push a more appealing and edgy brand perception.

Iconic

One of those big brands you always see, but never hear of. That’s because their name presence has always been under wraps. My focus was to drive more awareness, leads and pre-registrations for what they do. GradImages, Santa HQ and MarathonFoto’s focus was on customer leads and engagement. University Photo’s focus was to entice school business/organization leaders to use their superior services for sororities and fraternities. Pre-registrations increased while University Photo repositioned itself as the premiere brand in their category with my redesigned logo, brand guidelines, website and digital materials.

AB

There are a lot of things that excite young, legal drinking age (LDA) millennials. However, they are much different than older millennials. Wait there are two kinds of millennials? This is the challenge that AB has chosen to tackle as they look to appeal to a generation they don’t know A generation more in tune with wine & spirts as well as unheard of craft beers. The legacy of AB isn’t cutting it for everyone. In a matter of days, i designed this pocket booklet as well as a video concept was created to inform their internal business, stakeholders and possibly retailers of these insights. These insights were gathered from intense research as well as a YLDA panel to better prepare AB and retailers and my approach was to make the information as visual and easy to digest as possible within the AB InBev brand.
