• Magazine Creation: Chicago Fighting Arts Magazine: Chicago Fighting Arts Magazine 2005 was a 180 page, pocket sized, flip cover magazine. The editorial content included 90 photographs and two-dozen original articles and interviews focusing on the Chicago, martial arts and boxing community.
• Package Design: Carmex and Etymotic: I created a series of package design concept illustrations for Carmex and Etymotic. These were created in a variety of 3d programs in conjunction with Photoshop.
• New Product Promotion: The Swingmaster™: Swingmaster core essentials™ is a product that I designed and for which I hold a mechanical patent.
In 2002-4 I created the marketing materials which included the execution of product photography, graphic design and production, market research, instructional video clips and product features and benefits and a website.
