Ganau is one of the largest cork producers in the world and was looking for a fresh, modern, and frankly cutting-edge new website. A website that would work flawlessly on mobile, tablets, and computers but also be fully editable and customizable as the company continued to grow. 

Voilà, the release of the new and beautifully designed Ganau.com.

During my time at The Engine is Red, I designed this website knowing it would become one of the most advanced designed websites anyone would experience on the internet. Focusing on user experience we are able to guide a visitor through the Ganau process, history, and quality that has been part of the brand since 1941. I couldn't be more proud of the final product.

After 20 years of providing public access television to the community of Bennington, Vermont, Catamount Access Television (CAT-TV) was looking for a facelift to their dated brand.

While collaborating with Caava Design, we created a brand that would showcase Indus Advisors as advocates and lawyers with Indian and international roots.

Loring asked us to create a print ad campaign that ran would run in various national coffee trade magazines. Focusing on the features that set Loring apart from their competitors, we created an ad that would truly stand out against the others that contain too much busy advertising content.

Loop came to us looking to launch a new brand for their business shuttle service in the Bay Area. Together, we were looking to create something that would speak on the quickness of their transit, the security of their schedule, as well as a touch of the tech side from companies such as Twitter and others in the area. Loop is a elegant brand that represents it's transportation market fully.

Wyatt Law Office was looking for a facelift and we delivered. Looking to revamp their existing look to something more modern and dynamic, we took who Wyatt Law Offices wanted to become - "An alternative: small, dynamic law firm nimble enough to meet your challenges, but local enough to meet you for lunch" and bring that notion to life.

WeGo Rideshare is not like traditional carpool technology that makes you plan days or weeks in advance. Instead, everything is done in real-time, right when you need it, right now.

In an effort to spark awareness in the North Bay, we created these series of posters with the strong visual element of WeGo Rideshare.

Exchange Bank came to us wanting to boost customer awareness for their new mobile banking integrated campaign. With mobile-ready banking devices already in their marketplace, we needed to provide a new method to share that anyone from anywhere can bank with Exchange Bank.

Campaign was targeted at existing and potential customers using a variety of media placements including: local newspapers, digital display, in-branch collateral, outdoor signage, billboards, bill stuffers, and custom smart phone cases.

We rounded up five notable Reno-Tahoe locals and asked them to share their perfect day from dawn till dusk. They showed us all the nooks, crannies and can’t miss adventures that you could easily bypass unless you find an experienced hand to yank you off the beaten path.

The Reno/Tahoe Visitor is a yearly publication featuring the sights, events, shopping, and everything else that Reno-Tahoe has to offer all in one place. These books are placed in the hotel rooms in the area and over 30,000 are printed each year.

KIN was conceived during my time at The Engine is Red. We created the name focusing on the modern family dining room experience. It was important that we showcased the comfort and warmth of the season's best culinary offerrings, as well as an extensive and impressive beer menu. This brand speaks well on the inviting family kitchen environment and is one of my personal favorites (as a restaurant and as a brand).

After naming and branding KIN Family Style Restaurant in Windsor, California we set out to implement the brand in the interior and exterior of the restaurant. Bringing in the ascetic of residing in a modern family dining room we brought the warm, inviting, family friendly interior to life.

Flash & Co. was lacking a web presence when they came to Morningtide Design Studio. We took the time to learn what Flash and Co. was all about with their 30 years of experience installing sustainable wastewater systems for the most prestigious wineries in the Napa, Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino Counties

The Santa Rosa Regional Young Professionals Network (YPN) is a professional development program designed to engage and introduce young professionals to the Santa Rosa region's vast resources and opportunities.

YPN came to us desperately inneed of a facelift. Their old brand, closely related to the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce, was stuffy and old fashioned. We brought YPN into the 21st century with a brand that is extremely diverse, fun, bright, and speaks to everything YPN is about.

Each icon is representative of an event in YPN. The brand is able to be used as a whole, encompassing everything that YPN is or can be use with individual icons for each unique event

After naming, branding and directing in the interior design of KIN Family Style Restaurant in Windsor, California the team and I, at The Engine is Red, were tasked to come up with an inexpensive yet creative way to design a children's menu. We came up with the "cootie catcher" menu. Giving kids and parents alike the chance to play a game, pick their food elementary playground style, and have a little fun in the process. Needless to say it was a hit.
