Greenies Packaging
Greenies is a fictitious tooth tabs product that I designed the packaging to be both fun and eco-friendly. I wanted the product to feel inviting and catch your eye when you go to reach for the same tube of toothpaste, so I came up with a cute molar cowboy to help make the sell. I love how it all came together in the end.

Retro Renaissance Magazine
Retro Renaissance is a print publication for the fictitious END Magazine – a graphic design trend magazine. I create a cover, contents, feature, and two jump spreads for the magazine. They were inspired by the way we recycle imagery and style in graphic design, but always with a new twist. This was one of my favorite projects because the illustrations and layout came together in a really fun way.
