Roaring 20’s Grand Reopening Party Promos (2021)
As people were emerging from their COVID-19 cocoons in the summer and early fall of 2021, the Woman’s Club of Palo Alto wanted to create energy and anticipation for their “grand reopening” with a roaring 20s party. This series offered a playful way to entice members to a festive, yet safe in-person gathering. The event was a huge success.
Call of the Valley: The Enduring Lure of Sonoma (2019)
In 2019, documentary film producer Julie Morrison reached out when she realized that there were a number of necessary visuals for her film which she had no way to represent. I sprang into action creating maps of tribal groups, a cartoon about the decimation of phylloxera, and a likeness of J. Hunter Thompson, collaborating closely with Julie to fill some visual gaps caused by copyright constraints, missing historical records and other limitations. To learn more about this project, visit Call of the Valley: The Enduring Lure of Sonoma.

Ask me how it all worked out.
