Hope Ministries: Family Pancake Breakfast for Charity - [poster (original 18x24"), photo shoot direction, original event idea] Hope Ministries, a local homeless shelter and rescue mission, needed to create a "signature event." After I toured the facility, it was clear that an ideal event would bring potential donors to visit Hope to see how the homeless lived in the tiny rooms in the shelter, trying to keep families together and getting creative while cooking using only a crock pot and George Foreman grill.

HPC Brochure - [2-sided, 4-panel brochure] The client, Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend & St. Joseph County, needed an identity that reflected the governmental authority of the office while encouraging a sense of friendliness and community.

Hammerer Helper - [original product design concept, models] Nail alignment guide is meant to keep fingers safe and prevent unnecessary dents in the wall while installing drywall, reducing the cost of mudding and sanding, and increasing volunteer's hammering efficiency. Inspired by inexperienced Habitat for Humanity volunteers.

The Shirt Project 2009 Design - *see website: theshirt.nd.edu [t-shirt design] 2009 Presidential Team Irish Award This is the official fundraiser t-shirt of ND football 2009. Gold breaks from the tradition of green/blue shirts in honor of the 20th Anniversary. "Rise and Strike" commands that the team fight opponents with force and ferocity. "Defend Our Honor" commends the defense for their excellence in past seasons, and reminds students and alumni to be proud of their Alma Mater.

The Shirt Project 2009: Unveiling Ceremony Advertising Campaign - *see website: theshirt.nd.edu [print (original 11x17") and digital posters, logo, stacked shirt photo idea)] Each year, students and alumni gather for an unveiling ceremony to find out the color and design of The Shirt, held secret until that time. The stacked t-shirts show past color choices. Before being hung, the corner of each poster was ripped off right where the 2009 color choice would be named, to increase suspense and anticipation for this year's unveiling.
