Zoom+ Clinics

These graphics were designed to express the new identity and brand of Zoom+, communicate the range of services offered at each clinic, and help support a new service model the company had developed.

Basics Grocery

I worked with marketing Agency Maxwell PR on this signage project for a new grocery store. Using the visual identity and branding that Maxwell had developed, I worked with the design team to create several signage elements for the space. This signage not only orients visitors in the space, but also expresses the company’s “just what you need” brand through their simple, rustic design.

These displays were created as inspirational messaging for current and future patients, as well as communicate the Heart Center's mission and services. The installations are a combination of etched mirror and glass with paint infill, backlighting, and dimensional typography.

US Forest Service Region 6 Headquarters

This interior branding project was developed as a way to communicate the USFS Region 6 recent brand refresh and updated mission to employees and visiting stakeholders. The agency's core values, history, partnerships, and broad scope of services within diverse Washington and Oregon forest regions are represented in a permanent exhibition across 6 floors of offices. The exhibit includes historic and contemporary photography, themed conference rooms, wall graphics, iconic illustrations, and room signage

With the offices located in a LEED Platinum building, many steps were taken to implement an equally environmentally sensitive graphics program as much as possible.

The signage was made from four species of central Oregon timber harvested by a logging industry partner as part of a forest rehabilitation and fire prevention project. The photography frames were made from reclaimed barn wood from central Oregon. Wallcoverings were made from a natural, bio-degradable material and zero-voc paint was used.

The conference room names were created to reflect the core values and each room is themed accordingly. In each room, a past project is showcased that relates to the room theme.

 

Role: Experiential graphic design, space programming, photography curation, vendor and production coordination.
Lead Agency: Metropolitan Group in Portland OR.
