Blah, blah, blah,
here’s an example
Monster Calm isn’t your grandparent’s meditation—it’s more like your ancient ancestors’ (minus the robes). I crafted a brand and website for a meditation teacher and online community that’s playful and approachable, making meditation down-to-earth with a dash of humor and zero dogma. Just some fun-loving monsters to help you find your happy place—perfect for those who don’t vibe with the typical “woo-woo” or discipline-focused approaches to meditation.
I was responsible for naming, brand strategy, brand identity, copywriting, and website design.

Jeeze, you want another example?
Nourista isn’t just another restaurant—it’s an urban oasis tucked along the L.A. River, serving up plant-based dishes that redefine what it means to eat sustainably. For this vibrant Frogtown gem, I developed a brand and website that radiate warmth and community spirit. Nourista is more than a meal; it’s a place where neighbors gather, local growers are celebrated, and each dish proves that the future of food is bright, flavorful, and totally crave-worthy.
I handled the naming, brand strategy, brand identity, copywriting, and website design for this project.
