An unforgettable day with an incredible group of people in New York. CrowdStrike’s co-founders were on a mission from day one, and that all-out pursuit of today’s goal was an honor to witness. Today I was shown what true visionaries look like. What an honor to be part of it from the beginning. GoCrowdStrike!
Physical Crisis
Part of a generation who knew life pre-digital, the desire to connect outside of the digital space will always be with us. That missing tangible piece is best represented through true interaction; both for the creator and the recipient. It’s in that area that I decided to move my studio from residential to retail. A small graphic design studio where success will be measured in experience over profit.
Pro bono type logo gets national love by way of Kenye West and TMZ
Interesting to see a pro bono logo created in 2004 displayed in a major social media frenzy in 2018. The Rhymecology type logo was developed along side a mentor of mine, Bill Kienzel in Santa Barbara, CA. Props to Herb Lubalin, for creating such a timeless and relevant typeface.
Inspiration: Interactive Street Art
I friend told me about a blog post that showcased clever interactive street art from around the world. I loved the post so much that I completely ripped off the idea. The plan is to add to this over time, as a way to add some permanence to the guerrilla nature of urban creativity.

First Bitcoin machines in LA, ZenBox branded by Native.
We were asked to create a brand in 3 months. Including a logo that would resonate with a larger audience as well as creating an ATM wrap that would represent the entire franchise moving forward.

T-Shirt line picked up by Ventura Visitors Bureau
Thanks to the really nice people over at the Visitors & Conventions Bureau on the corner of Santa Clara and California Street this first "Native Ventura" campaign is now part of their inventory and available in store. One of several upcoming locations to carry the shirt.
This design (“C-Street”), was created as a custom run graphic impression that captures the view from my window on most mornings. The intent is to communicate the spirit of that experience visually as it relates to this legendary surf break.
Ten percent of each purchase goes toward animal rescue efforts, as well as local elementary school art programs. All apparel is designed and printed locally.
VirtuUSA.com Rebrand Project Completed
VirtuUSA came to us to rebrand their site and establish an entirely new visual foundation for their product lines. 4 months later we established a new logo, color direction, fonts, and a WordPress driven backend. Thus far traffic has increased, and their brand baseline has matched, or surpassed those in much larger revenue brackets. Team: Jace Armstrong, Matt Ansoorian, Hugh O'Connor.
