Current Projects Underway

Stay tuned for the fruits of my labor… I’m currently in deep, working on some new and exciting projects. I’m eager to add these to my gallery of work once the projects have launched. I also hope to post an update soon regarding two other projects that are under wraps.

GenGreen & 3rdWhale: Brand Advisor
Two green focused media companies, GenGreen of Colorado and 3rdWhale of Vancover BC, have recently merged into one mega green company. I’ve joined as a part time Brand Advisor to help them move to the next stage. I’m super excited to be involved in designing some really interesting things that are on the horizon.

AmericanCupcake: Brand, Website & Product Design
This project is tormenting me with amazing photos of delicious cupcakes. Good thing I have willpower. American Cupcake has been around as a cupcake caterer in San Francisco for several years, and the word is out that AC is expanding their cupcake empire with their first cafe set to open in early 2010. I’ve been hired to bring the essence of the best cupcake around, to all of you. AC is a small, local business, started from scratch (literally) by Devin Alper, and features locally sourced ingredients and sustainable business practices. Yums.

GreenCafeNetwork: Pro Bono Brand Advisor
GCN is a fantastic operation located in San Francisco. It is the only non-profit organization dedicated to reducing Americans’ environmental impacts by greening the coffeehouse industry and harnessing café culture for community and individual environmental education. I’m rooting for quick, mass expansion across all of North America!

At the end of the month I’m headed to San Diego to work for Richard Saul Wurman and Mark Hodosh at the TEDMED conference. I’ve been working for RSW and his TED and EG conferences for years and I’m excited to be part of another version of these events.

It looks to be an eclectic mix of speakers, and a few familiar faces from previous TEDs:
Dean Kamen
Craig Venter
Sanjay Gupta
Martha Stewart
Annie Wojcicki
David Pogue
