Sometimes Ben at The Mandate Press has room on print jobs to add an extra card. The specs were black, plus a blind deboss, but I only had 15 minutes to send him artwork. What I’m going to do with 500 cards I’m not sure, but they always do a great job printing.

And the always awesome, American Psycho Business card scene.

Logo design and illustration for kado, a high-end business specializing in flowers for weddings and events.

My wife Brenna is starting another flower shop, she took over a franchise location called Flowerama. It was an established shop with a cheesy name. She’s pregnant right now and was convinced she was having a girl. Her name for the girl was going to be Pearl. Well she’s having a boy but she got to name her new shop Blooming Pearl.

As a designer I should love working on logos, but without enough time they can be a struggle for me. My original concept was a pair of hands that look like petals holding a pearl, presenting as a gift. Below are the final 2 versions.

I think we’ll go with the top version. The store has a big horizontal awning that we’re reusing.

This is the card I designed for my wife Brenna, a floral designer. It was printed by my friend Ben at The Mandate Press in SLC. The cool thing is, he posted these photos on his Flikr page and this card is now on like 10 different design blogs.
