side projects
i try to be creative in all aspects of my life, whether it’s at my part-time job, creating a logo for my mom’s gardening club, art for my partner, or doing the branding for our new remodeling business.
hippos deli jar label designs
at my part-time job as a greeter at hippos dispensary in columbia mo, I’ve been tasked with creating some of the deli jar labels. I start by sketching a plethora of designs, then mock up the colors on my iPad. I then use chalk markers to replicate the design on a chalk sticker label. after creating a decent amount, I decided to propose to the company to hire me as a contract artist and streamline the deli jar label process to printed digital designs. although my proposal was denied, i’m proud of myself for putting myself out there and advocating for the price of my skills!
hippos chalkboard signs
along with creating deli jar labels, i also craft chalkboard sign art for hippos. i’ve created a fun graphic style to promote their daily, weekly and monthly deals. using chalk markers, i combine my bubbly, graffiti and maximalist style to create a welcoming and fun vibe to draw customers. this is a responsibility given to the greeters at hippos stores, and ive begun tasking my other coworkers with the sign art. it’s been a great creative outlet and i want that for others, too. stop by the store to see the signs, labels, me, and stay for the weed!
