Moksha Chocolate is an award-winning Boulder, Colorado craft chocolate company making premium "farm to bar" single-origin bars. I designed their logotype and early print collateral, various social media and email campaigns, and wrote and designed a year's worth of marketing and editorial content and product descriptions in 2020-21 to establish the brand story, enhance SEO, and hand off a well-positioned marketing package to the owners. My evergreen content is sourced continually for promotions and seasonal product releases.
Logo and stationery system for my former print-only design studio in Boulder, Colorado. Inspired by the book cover designs of Alvin Lustig and other mid-century modern print pieces, this cohesive set's whimsical line motif is a playful nod to Chuck Jones' vintage animated short film, The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics. The business card was embossed and the letterhead de-bossed to demonstrate the tactile possibilities of print design. The paper stocks, from French Paper, were purposely mixed in color and type.

Ready for a little nostalgia by now? This was my first freelance design job! I was a publicity intern at Fulcrum Publishing of Golden, Colorado in the mid 90s as an undergrad at CU. Fulcrum needed an identity and marketing piece/catalog for its travel book titles. I designed this on my Apple Quadra and I believe it was pasted up on boards for the printer. 😀
