Brochure Design post woodworking

Last year I worked with James & Matthew Co. & Post Woodworking Sheds to create their new & improved shed catalog. This was a fun project to tackle, finding a way to translate large amounts of detail while making the product attractive and appealing to their customers.

Screening Room Poster

September 12, 2014/0/0/

Mashup Video The moment we bought our new house, I knew the basement would be a perfect fit for a projector Screening Room/Bruins Den/Man Cave/Toddler Toons room (it's mostly been used for the Later).

3D printing – the love album

May 31, 2014/0/0/

Every year I create a Love album for my wife on our anniversary. For volume 12 I decided to take my new found passion/fascination in 3D printing to pull out all the stops and create this 3D printed display case. This bad boy took about 30 hours to print but it came out great, and my wife [...]
