Some people don’t know it, but the little spoonful of peanut butter they give to their dog as a treat or to help get their medicine down can actually pose a serious threat to their health. Some peanut butters contain Xylitol, which is an artificial sweetener that can be deadly if consumed by dogs.
The illustration was created as a quick way to display information about Xylitol, it’s effects on dogs, and what to do in the case of an emergency.

New Penn is an East Coast shipping provider who was looking for a creative way to recruit millennials to drive trucks. New Penn has several positions where drivers are home most nights and weekends, but most people don't know that. They think that truck drivers are constantly on the road, have poor hygiene, and work late hours. I developed a campaign based on flipping the "trucker stereotypes" around.
I created storyboards, scouted talent, produced set props, rented a motorcycle, and helped direct the shoots with the production company.

Valspar Refinish is a quality automotive paint system. It's main selling point is that it has a universal intermix system, which means you can use the same base color for every color you do. This allows smaller paint shops to reduce overhead and get more work done with less product.

Concept was originally built as a magazine ad, then adapted as web banners.

Guests are invited to dress the part and galavant about the beautiful theater while enjoying copious amounts of food and drink. 2016 was the year of a Wild West themed event, The Spirits of the Civic.
