Just the Q
What I did:
Just the Q is a social networking site where folks interested in all sorts of outdoor cooking methods can share ideas, techniques, recipes, backyard BBQ stories, and build friendships based on a mutual love for all things grilled, smoked, stewed, roasted, or otherwise cooked outdoors. The bold stance, western typeface treatment and stars, and the familiar 'smokehouse' smokestack combine to produce a logo that is immediately recognizable and endearing to outdoor cooking enthusiasts everywhere.
Wilson’s Pit BBQ & Grill
What I did:
Wilson's Pit BBQ & Grill is my on-site barbecue catering service serving Mecklenburg, Lincoln, and Gaston counties in North Carolina. We offer traditional smoked and grilled meats along with great classic, southern side dishes and desserts. No matter the occasion or season, give your guests a true “Taste of the South” from Wilson's Pit BBQ & Grill. It's an event you will never forget!
IQRounds Clinical Results
What I did:
IQMax was using a mashup set of generic icons for their mobile healthcare applications that didn't always clearly communicate specific functionality. My task was to design a custom, unified set of some 75 icons for use across all of the mobile applications as well as in the main administration system. The new icon set, ultimately approved by actual caregivers beta testing the applications, more accurately depicts the application actions and information and makes it easier for users to quickly get the the information or functionality they need.
Enviously Yours
What I did:
Enviously Yours designs handcrafted artisan jewelery inspired by nature's simple beauty. Their unique designs are sleek and contemporary but still capture all the grace and artistry of traditional jewelry designs. Each Enviously Yours piece is handcrafted from the finest quality materials purchased from reputable jewelry and gemstone suppliers.
