Brewing the Perfect Identity
Living in Springfield most of my life, I have made a mission to frequent a variety of coffeehouses. Most coffee afficianados strive to find the perfect house blend or attain the venerated $100 pound of Kopi Luwak. Me, I enjoy the full-package including the coffeehouse’s attention to design.

Noble Assembly of God Logo
One of my first identity projects at Ozark-based Robison Creative Studios was for a growing church in Oklahoma called Noble Assembly of God. The primary requirement for the project was to incorporate a dove and a flame—and do it creatively, of course. This proved to be the mantra for future church branding projects (with additional juxtapositions including hearts and crosses) and a request that I would come to dread. But in my design naivete I took on the request with idealism and excitement.
