Portfolio

Foltman Furniture LLC

A master woodworker needed a brand identity that accurately represented the exceptional quality of their craftsmanship, as their existing branding failed to capture their artistry; the solution involved creating detailed brand guidelines, a visually stunning website showcasing their expertise, and aligning their external image with the unparalleled quality of their work through harmonized visuals, messaging, and digital presence.

The Boldt Company

A national construction company hired me full-time to establish in-house multimedia capabilities, revitalizing their brand through cost-effective graphic design, photography, videography, and web design services that accurately captured their projects and elevated their industry presence.

Benchmark Real Estate

A local real estate company struggled with outdated and inconsistent branding materials that failed to accurately represent their services. To address this, comprehensive brand guidelines, a modernized logo, a user-friendly website, and authentic photography featuring past clients were implemented, revitalizing the company’s brand and marketing presence.

Snipers Hide

Faced with a lack of cohesion in branding and marketing materials due to rapid business expansion, the client required a consistent approach to unify their brand identity, which was achieved by developing comprehensive brand guidelines and creating versatile branded assets adhering to those standards.

Kraken Concepts Racing

A rallycross driver who started selling specialized tires needed to build awareness and trust for his product among fellow drivers nationwide. The solution was to create an updated logo, educational videos featuring the client explaining the tires’ benefits, and an engaging 60-second advertisement showcasing the tires’ performance using footage captured at an actual rallycross event.

Discs Dyed by Dave

The client, a disc golf dyer, needed a complete branding and marketing overhaul to stand out in a saturated market and establish themselves as a professional and entertaining brand. To address this, a simple yet eye-catching logo was designed, a comprehensive e-commerce website was built with search engine optimization, educational videos demonstrating the disc dyeing process were created, and environmental product photography was utilized.

Stateline Rallycross

The challenge was to create a comprehensive brand identity from scratch for a newly established Rallycross organization, conveying legitimacy and resonating with the target audience. The solution involved crafting a dynamic logo, developing a functional website, creating complementary marketing collateral, and capturing on-site video to showcase the organization’s professionalism and the excitement of their events.

LePine Enterprises Inc.

A local construction firm needed an online presence to showcase their large-scale operations, so aerial drone footage was captured to provide an overhead view complemented by on-the-ground cinema camera footage, which was edited into a visually striking website highlighting their extensive capabilities.
