THE SPEED PROJECT: DADDY BRADDY’S STALLIONS + BRADDY’S LITTLE PONIES
As an unsanctioned race across the desert, one team also needed an unsanctioned identity… naming themselves Daddy Braddy’s Stallions. What initially was me just helping with a logo became a bit more involvement, including branding their sister team (Braddy’s Little Ponies) and helping develop gear for their over 24 hour foot-run endeavor. In 2023, both teams managed to snag course records for both the co-ed team division as well as women’s. Yeehaw! (Photography by Joe Hale)

MILL CITY RUNNING COLLATERAL
Mill City Running is (the best) local running store in Minneapolis with an amazing community that I have had the pleasure of being part of since I moved here. Along with spending any hours there, I have gotten to create some work here and there for anything from retail items to wall murals. Combining my passions of running + design for some of my favorite people has been some of my most fun work.

TOASTY SUPPLY
Run by the Track Club Co. print shop in Minneapolis, Toasty Supply was a space created to feature, print, and sell art by local artists. As one of the first featured artists, I created artwork for apparel that revolved around my love for dogs and bright colors. Sales helped with a successful launch of Toasty and brought in more artists interested in featuring their art as well. (Photography by Bit Klecker)

THE NATION’S ONLY RACE TEAM PEP BAND (PROBABLY)
You’ve seen many running race teams, but have you ever seem a race team pep band? Probably not. Introducing Mill City’s first ever clan of race team members that also act as a pep band for various MCR events and MN races, this talented group needed a start to their uniform and brand. Because the team is tightly associated to Mill City Running, I designed a logo and color palette that could easily fit within the system. (Photography by Stephen Maturen)

BUN BUN FUN RUN
Approaching her 30th birthday, Gillian wanted to celebrate with 3 things she loves most — running, cinnamon buns, and her dog, Bun. In order to combine them all & make it wildly fun (and a little weird), she gathered her closest friends, dogs, and even strangers to run around Lake Harriet in underwear and eat cinnamon buns. Each ticket “purchased” gave the option to donate to Second Hand Hounds, a local animal rescue.

SWEET SCIENCE
With the opening of Sweet Science Ice Cream’s brand new retail shop at Keg and Case Market, they were looking for a few fun t-shirts to add amidst the bright & cheery interior that celebrated the love of ice cream. This was a sweet opportunity to utilize my favs: hand drawn type and quirky but simple illustrations (and ice cream!)
