Pitt Stop Studio is a small art venture with a big mission: to support the mobility and quality of life for disabled dogs.

In June of 2020, my dog, Neeno (the pittie in “Pitt” Stop), developed a neurological disorder. That summer, we both got a new set of wheels - his was a doggie mobility cart, mine was a mechanically questionable shuttle bus. We hit the road, traveling across the country from CA to WI and back, exploring national parks, forests, and wild places together. Neeno may have lost mobility, but he gained a new kind of freedom.

Through Pitt Stop Studio, I create handmade art that gives back, donating a portion of proceeds to a nonprofit supporting disabled and special-needs dogs. The “art and stuff” is made in California, Wisconsin, and the places in between. Follow along on Instagram and enjoy the ride.

Farm Day Adventures is a series of children’s books written by Megan Wood and illustrated by me. Megan and I worked closely to bring to life the lighthearted adventures of Cash the clever canine and his barnyard friends.

As the illustrator, I handled everything from initial sketches and storyboards to final artwork using watercolor, gouache, and ink. I also managed text placement and page layout to prepare each book for publication.

The result is a vibrant, wholesome series that celebrates friendship, teamwork, and the idea that we’re capable of more when we work together.

Cash The Clever Canine, Billy The Silly Goat, and Screech The Scaredy Cat are all available on Amazon as paperback or Ebook.

You can also find me on my Amazon author page or Goodreads author profile.

As part of the Four Corners hub at AirVenture 2019, The Welcome Center served as the first stop for more than 642,000 attendees, whether it was their first visit or their 50th. In addition to housing a full-service information desk staffed by EAA team members, the venue featured live appearances by air show performers, authors, and aviation legends throughout the week.

I was responsible for designing all venue signage, including a 9-panel wall, two 5-panel walls, desk paneling, an 8-panel window cling, and graphic inserts for the Mini Museum display. Working closely with the Tradeshow Marketing Manager, I created a cohesive visual experience that aligned with the 50th Anniversary brand direction developed by our Creative Director.

In addition to my design role, I also served as the Welcome Center’s on-site “Venue Champion”, providing guest support and ensuring daily operations ran smoothly from open to close during the entire week of the event.

The EAA Discover Aviation Corner was part of the Four Corners at AirVenture 2019, designed to spark hands-on engagement with aviation. The space featured the EAA Spirit of Aviation Mobile Experience, a fully interactive exhibit with virtual reality stations, flight simulators, and build-your-own glider activities.

One of my favorite contributions was the Aviore-themed coloring cube. EAA’s comic book series featuring their very own aviation superhero, Aviore, had just launched to resonate with kids and fuel interest in aviation. While the original request for this project was to simply enlarge comic book pages, I took it further, selecting high-energy panels, scenes, and characters to collage into an immersive, oversized experience. I wanted the installation to feel dynamic and interactive, not static. I also made sure to feature supporting characters like Rosie, Aviore’s mechanic, to reflect a broader, more inclusive vision of aviation heroes.

The Gathering is the EAA Aviation Foundation’s signature fundraising event, supporting aviation education programs and youth engagement initiatives. In 2019, the event drew 1,400 guests and raised more than $2.75 million to grow participation in aviation.

That year’s theme, The EAA Effect, celebrated the powerful connections formed through sharing the Spirit of Aviation. The brand concept was built around a mood board I developed, which became the foundation for the event’s visual identity.

One of my key contributions was the invitation design. I collaborated closely with our Print & Mail Team, prototyping materials and finishes until we landed on a piece that felt elevated and in line with the event’s tone. In addition to the invitation, I designed signage, sponsorship banners, menus, and silent auction displays, ensuring a cohesive experience across all print and environmental elements.

Quartz developed systems and software that use livestream video to analyze construction site activity and enhance situational awareness for crane operators. I partnered with their team as they prepared to exhibit World of Concrete 2020, the commercial construction industry’s largest international event, which drew over 54,000 attendees and featured 1,300+ vendors.

For the event, I designed a collection of branded marketing materials, including handouts, promotional giveaways, and a large-scale booth backdrop. Building on the event collateral, I also created mockups for an updated website design to support their evolving brand presence.

I led a full brand refresh for EAA’s 15th annual premier beer-tasting fundraiser. From a new event logo to large-scale signage and digital billboards, I reimagined the event’s visual identity across print and digital platforms.

The sold-out event welcomed 1,220 general admission guests and 220 VIPs for an evening of unlimited beverage tastings, live music, food stations, and custom glassware. My goal was to create a cohesive, energetic brand experience that matched the scale and spirit of the night.

As a member of the Creative Team within EAA’s Marketing Department, I collaborated with account managers, UX specialists, digital marketers, and in-house printers to support a wide range of internal clients. Our team handled everything from branded campaigns to event signage, most notably for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world’s largest aviation gathering

During my time at EAA, I worked on countless print pieces, developed visual identities for multiple events, and designed large-scale graphics featured throughout the AirVenture 2019 grounds.

At Metropolis Resort, I worked hand-in-hand with the Marketing Director to develop and execute targeted campaigns that promoted everything from events and entertainment to meetings and weddings. The designs I created were bold, adaptable, and effective across multiple platforms to reach diverse audiences.

During the resort’s expansion, I led branding efforts for the launch of the new Trampoline Park and supported marketing initiatives for updated outdoor attractions and water park renovations.

One of my favorite projects was illustrating a custom map to help guests navigate the newly expanded family fun center.

At Mega Co-op, I had the opportunity to collaborate with award-winning brand specialist David Brier during an exciting phase of the company’s rebrand. I contributed to a range of creative projects, from designing print ads for VolumeOne Magazine to helping develop content and structure for the launch of Mega Co-op’s new grocery store website.

This role gave me valuable experience in aligning visual and written content with a larger brand strategy, all while learning firsthand from a team energized by purposeful design.
