My idea was to update our logo to match our new bright Mid-Century style facilities. This meant that I had to maintain cornerstones of our old logo: Red, each letter represented, the new name spelled out, 4 parts. After about a year long process and 70 comps, this was the final outcome. The board was extremely impressed, even more so after they found out that we did not spend a dime on an agency or extra freelancers to help. I conducted surveys, had marketing team brainstorming sessions, and hundreds of hours of research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402947968-HDFK22VE2M89HDKDIHW6/1149059_10151554626072190_1426369718_n.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402947979-H61X9HTUIYOI2C4L1C9A/989095_632701634429_1043997633_o.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402947913-IIJ4ZDZASHNL5O1I5OVB/990131_632701554589_1319143604_o.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402947990-W1IWTX7CN90PDMZF5998/INVITECOMP.jpg portfolio - Grand Opening Invitation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402947712-NIUH1JHJBNSGWSLPMFZ4/989963_632688870009_1443020644_o.jpg portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402948122-6M75WSU07HM4JKDG1JD0/DSC_0129.jpg portfolio - Donor Wall Glass by Westport Glass.

This brochure was one that I had creative freedom on, and I came up with this idea to have a custom dye cut made with wood grain inspired by the home. I used a gloss paper, with a matte soft touch coating to create a wood feel on the paper. I loved the way this brochure was so tactile and interesting with the cut out and paper treatment. It gives you a glimpse of what it’s like to walk in a Frank Lloyd Wright home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958294-VN5PVYOI3BDD9H3KKILC/DSC_0151A.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - samara brochure I was able to actually travel to Samara and photograph the home.I loved using the images I captured in the brochure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958410-DOIRBXE4JJFOD83CSU4N/DSC_0324.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - sister corita brochure I had never heard of Sister Corita but was so glad I learned about her (especially as a female designer) through designing for this exhibition. Her work is bold and revolutionary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958270-MR0ZROEARNGCJQD6CZZC/DSC_0327.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - sister corita brochure Sister Corita’s work is so bold and bright, when I proofed the brochure, I wasn’t happy with how dull everything looked compared to the art. I worked with my print vendor rep, and we came up with a solution to use 50% CMYK ink and 50% neon CMYK ink mix. The result was sharp bold color that captured Corita’s work perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958282-E7M8OEBYXWE6S8K505OT/DSC_0331.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - sister corita brochure I designed this brochure to be oversized, with a half panel added in to feature even more artwork. After mixing in half neon CMYK ink, I also applied a UV coating to pop the colors even more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958420-GDEVMKZKM5ZBOK8C8XM5/DSC_0287.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the return of yellow peril cover I wasn’t sure Roger Shimomura, the artist of this exhibition, would let me do this design. The fonts are sort of art deco and Dick Tracy inspirted, but when juxtaposed to the imagery, it makes for a very garish design, which is what I was going for. Roger ended up saying it looked ‘nasty and edgy’ which I thought was bad, but he then said he loved it and to move forward with the design. I used a gloss UV coating to imprint his name on the cover so that the cover art stood out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958439-IN5C62JZ0TWFGQVJFL69/DSC_0281.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the return of yellow peril brochure I loved reading about Roger Shimomura’s work and life. I was familiar with his art but I hadn’t realized the amount of racism he experienced. His work also opened my eyes to historical instances of racism toward Asian Americans. To keep all of this content in the brochure, I designed a 4 panel roll fold so that we could provide enough imagery and content for the audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958460-VGRD2DCZKKV955UO5N5X/Shimomura+1.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - yellow peril text panel For all the exhibitions I worked on while designing at M-AAA, I also created wall text panels that led the audience throughout the sections of the exhibition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958389-ZT2GCF31QMK22SPQK28P/shimhouse.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - shimomura's garage One of the best compliments I could receieve was when I visited Roger Shimomura’s garage studio and signage from the exhibition I designed was hanging there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958399-ZOTWO1RX2SXZZYZRA9AC/DSC_0198.JPG Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - advancing tradition brochure I am a huge fan of printmaking and was so excited to work on this exhibition featuring several printmaking artists. I was inspired by black copper plates and how artists start with this single thing and layer and play with chemicals and etch until something magical appears. So, I used copper plate texture in the font. I also tried to keep design elements minimal so as not to clash with the variety of art featured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958357-27SL6G0VTTZ2WF7KM01U/DSC_0379.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - advancing tradition kids gallery activity I created this activity by printing direct to sintra (PVC sheets) and having holes drilled into the corners. Simple hook and ball chain held the guide together, and venues could easily hang these up for kids to walk through the exhibition and explore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958326-BPTGVA77Z78EGZ756MOQ/DSC_0381.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - advancing tradition kids gallery activity The benefit of printing a gallery guide direct to sintra and rounding the corners, it makes the guide kid-proof, drop-proof, water-proof … it’s almost indestructible. It’s also easy to hold and carry, and inexpensive to reprint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958304-BSJI532H3BP4YDOCW970/DSCN0478.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the fine art of jazz I did a ton of research into mid-century jazz album covers, which was quite enjoyable for me. I saw a lot of samples of bold shapes and moody fonts. I didn’t want to design something overbearing the photography, but I did want to emulate a shadowy jazzy night performance with colors and font. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958337-XM83ACR3ARCB0JZFIO7S/DSC_0372.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the fine art of jazz brochure I loved these images and working with simple graphics to create a certain smoky jazz vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958379-PVQBJ3SKM3WH0BLSYRGO/DSCN0493.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the fine art of jazz exhibition opening This image may be entirely redundant for a portfolio, but the shadows, the blinds, the music in the background, reminded me a scene from Film Noir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958347-O4FILNOHHA114POQEU36/DSCN0468.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - fine art of jazz text panels This is another sample of text panels created for an exhibit. With traveling exhibitions, one never knows exactly how the content will be displayed. Utilizing the posts at the Kansas City downtown library was actually quite successful and I saw a lot of people stopping to read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958429-4350HEOD794GJJCPHOX3/DSC_0376.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - the fine art of jazz brochure interior I loved using the raw edge from photography development as a design feature to add texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958260-GCDFKE7RD5KT0Z19W8CV/DSC_0224.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - women call for peace brochure This exhibition featured a group of female artists that advocate for peace and women’s rights. I wanted to feature their faces on the cover, because the art was so powerful, I wanted the audience to know that a diverse group of admirable women were behind this art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958315-0Q70FH97TOTAHH52QVNV/Gallery+Pano+3+Lw+Rez.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - women call for peace large panel This exhibition featured a listening activity, so I created a room divider out of fabric and tension poles, much like you might see at a trade show. This helped baffle outside noise and created an area to concentrate on the activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958450-YHPKW21SFIYHS20P3LKU/DSC_0227.jpg Creating exhibitions at M-AAA X - women call for peace interior brochure When designing brochures with art, scale is as important as color quality. I always try to hint at scale, so that the viewer has a sense of what the art looks like while visiting the exhibition. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/unboundexperience daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962633-82QN0HP2OGFF44G60KVU/VEmainwhite.jpg Experiencing Unbound x https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962729-AR9M62W3S36L13CLHMD6/1-Elmwood-Ave-01112021_133318.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - unbound visitor experience I designed just about everything you will see in the following images! I worked with Custom Color on these amazing large format wall images. The pine needle rug you see here is a homage to Latin American culture, where they lay down pine needle carpets for important guests at community celebrations. I created the design with scans of pine needles and used a custom garage floor covering company to produce it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962708-6ZXLAAPS7JB8KAL16BTW/1-Elmwood-Ave-01082021_140634.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - families are at the center I loved featuring this waving, smiling family to greet people as the enter the experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962663-3SG4F8Z5BN9E4GPLQZGU/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-2.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - highlighting imagery I designed the lighting and electrical for the space. That helped me in highlighting areas of important content. I even installed lighting and some of the graphics.

I edited together some songs and words from Unbound’s founders and featured them in a motion activated speaker within the curved spaces. The paint on all the whiles was customized to match Unbound’s brand swatches. I installed simple vinyl lettering to highlight core values on the walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962718-AND5HFI0CTAZ5N00R619/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-7.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - a global experience I worked with the contractor to make this custom doorway. The lighting fixtures were informed by staff members from India to create a homage to that region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962652-NXK4QU0CJTTO8OUZR7SO/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-6.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - sharing stories I designed this metal wall to be magnetic, so that staff members can share Unbound successes and stories with other stff members and visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962685-FV2SIAXPCOFD6R5BYFMN/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-4.jpg Experiencing Unbound x - a sense of place Staff members created this mock home, one that reflects the reality of poverty in the places Unbound works. I flanked the home with some landscape images, added props and provided a soundtrack of sounds from rural villages, cities, music and traffic from around the world. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/glossrx daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402966017-ENFG0ONY8Z9MH1ABHWOC/GLOSS+BRAND+GUIDELINES.jpg Launching GlossRX x - GlossRX brand identity I have known one of the owners of Gloss Rx my entire life, so I totally understood her aesthetic: high-end, classy and classic, chic.

I helped manage content and editorial calendars, as well as produced and wrote articles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402983256-MZU01OPGVDIMWI996WY5/LivingUnbound_Winter2016_1.jpg Storytelling with Living Unbound X - Living Unbound cover With amazing photographers at our fingertips, designing beautiful covers was quite easy and enjoyable. We used subtle layers to enrich the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402983216-L4OYPDDD52B4KJM6DH7Z/LU+_S2016_printer_spred2.jpg Storytelling with Living Unbound X - Living Unbound cover Again, subtle layers, great copy, and extraordinary photography helped make these covers stunning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402983206-KL8RR9J0ECBOOUHN5SZV/LU+_S2016_22-23.jpg Storytelling with Living Unbound X - article I loved playing with applying patterns and using different font treatments for emphasis in articles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402983170-EC4SXU8GUJ8OTRK5BBH3/LivingUnbound_Winter2016_1617.jpg Storytelling with Living Unbound X - article Creating negative space for type can be difficult, but our photographers knew how to take many angles the image to help us create title pages for articles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402983245-LOCPU69A2SZ4J30R75Q4/LivingUnbound_Winter2016_1213.jpg Storytelling with Living Unbound X - article Working at Unbound, designers have access to beautiful landscape images from around the globe. I loved utilizing these images for telling the stories of whole communities or groups making positive impact. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/maaa daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984900-4G39X7SCAP1JR90152FN/maaa-logo-color.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - M-AAA logo The new design for Mid-America Arts Alliance’s (M-AAA) headquarters was heavily influenced my mid-century design. ‘Mad Men’ was on and I also worked on a Frank LLoyd Wright exhibition, so the love for all things Mid-Mod was at a peak. I fell in love with these fonts from what was then Hoefler & Frere Jones foundry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985043-E7S7J5OVPEW8UDLYC1K3/DSC_0180.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - identity package I loved updating M-AAA’s color palette from black, tan and cherry red, to these warm rich grays and the eye-popping orange red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984919-2L79PNDKD5FBV6EQGQE5/DSC_0165.JPG Rejuvenating M-AAA x - identity package I had to redesign quite literally everything, once a new identity was approved. Letterhead, business cards, hundreds of forms and reports, websites, social medie, even signage. It was indeed a gauntlet of work, but the results were worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985011-X3UZ4ZUHBKNIWOIT9U0W/maaa-annnual+reports.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - m-aaa annual report This annual report came out right before M-AAA’s new headquarters was opened and during it’s 40th anniversary celebration. The design shows the history, but also what’s to come. I had a lot of freedom to present information in new ways and break free from traditional layouts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985094-MIU9V01XUXAPSUANMZ4D/maaa-annnual+reports2.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - m-aaa annual report 2013 With this annual report, I designed it so that you could see some amazing images and read about each program, or you could glance at the impact numbers and flip through. The concept was about M-AAA coming into it’s own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984950-M5831XSVW4KYDN3HTY74/DSC_0129.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - donor wall The glass in this wall has silver vinyl lettering applied to honor donors. I worked with Midtown Signs on a concept that looks permanent and premium, but is actually easy to update with new names by simply applying new vinyl to the glass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985072-4ETNEKC3UC8G3EVD6CP5/989963_632688870009_1443020644_o.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - the culture lab This is signage for M-AAA’s experimental exhibit space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984970-JD3D92TTOC6VE3631170/DSC_0135.JPG Rejuvenating M-AAA x - 360° branding tower It looks substantial, but this tower is actually portable. The walls are made from dye sub fabric inserted into a channels. This makes for easy updating. Simply reprint the fabric and it mails in a small envelope. It turns so in the center of the room it can showcase multiple images, or when in a corner it can be angled to focus on one set of images. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984910-JPPMJ4IEI7C1S26C01YP/DSC_0144.jpeg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - more art for more people I had this installed across the long wall in the newly renovated headquarters, because at it’s heart, that’s what M-AAA is all about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984980-JBZ9MQXFG0EX6UU95DXP/DSC_0142.JPG Rejuvenating M-AAA x - door signage Simple door signage for the staff entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985085-HM24E2Q8BCY5FH2JCQK6/1149059_10151554626072190_1426369718_n.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - M-AAA signage I worked with Midtown Signs to design this backlit metal signage for M-AAA’s headquarters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985053-C87GSIXJW5HFRSV0UWXM/989095_632701634429_1043997633_o.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - building flags I designed flags to celebrate the re-opening and 40th anniversary of M-AAA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985032-ZGASPNGL97LXM49HQQWO/DSC_0140.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - building flags The great thing about these flags is that the street M-AAA resides on is in the heart of the Crossroads in Kansas City with a ton of foot traffic. So, a lot of people see them, and it is cost effective and easy to change out the messaging. For example, this one is advertising the summer concert series held in the parking lot of M-AAA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984940-P6HJMKUVZ4BNOW2BVCRU/DSC_0134.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - concert signage Every summer, M-AAA has a concert series in the middle of the Crossroads during Kansas City’s famous art walk on first Fridays. I designed branded tents, signs for stage and along entrances, handouts, and giveaways like fans or T-shirts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985022-7TI65YU39H8QEMQQQ0BG/image-asset.jpeg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - merchandise I designed this branded merchandise to be sold as a fundraiser or given away at M-AAA events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985000-CRBOFT83TF86TYGAQOMK/service.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - core value poster I created posters to showcase M-AAA’s core values throughout it’s newly renovated headquarters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984960-R20N03W0V2XJQZPZEZBQ/40inviteth.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - 40th anniversary invite design I created this design with several of M-AAA’s founders to honor their 40 years of successful arts programming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402985063-JTEBRHUKHL6HFMI3NIMB/INVITECOMP.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - party invite I created graphics of actual lighting found in M-AAA’s headquarters, and again, was able to bring mid-century design in a bold way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984990-3A5CPGUYA93TAFQN4BCZ/marketingbrochure%2B2.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - M-AAA reintroduction brochure M-AAA lacked a standard ‘who we are, what we do’ brochure, so I created this with the launch of the new brand. The goal was to have great visual impact and brief content so that new people could easily. understand what M-AAA is about and what it does. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402984930-IQIVY6ASY6K131Z44GBT/marketingbrochuretrifold_Page_2.jpg Rejuvenating M-AAA x - reintroductory brochure interior It’s easy to get lost in language and logistics. This was a refreshing piece to produce because it put M-AAA’s mission and purpose in easy to understand language with highly impactful visuals. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/our-wedding daily

I worked with Custom Color on these amazing large format wall images. The pine needle rug you see here is a homage to Latin American culture, where they lay down pine needle carpets for important guests at community celebrations. I created the design with scans of pine needles and used a custom garage floor covering company to produce it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962708-6ZXLAAPS7JB8KAL16BTW/1-Elmwood-Ave-01082021_140634.jpg Experiencing Unbound - families are at the center I loved featuring this waving, smiling family to greet people as the enter the experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962663-3SG4F8Z5BN9E4GPLQZGU/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-2.jpg Experiencing Unbound - highlighting imagery I designed the lighting and electrical for the space.

I edited together some songs and words from Unbound’s founders and featured them in a motion activated speaker within the curved spaces. The paint on all the whiles was customized to match Unbound’s brand swatches. I installed simple vinyl lettering to highlight core values on the walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402962718-AND5HFI0CTAZ5N00R619/1-Elmwood-Ave-Photo-7.jpg Experiencing Unbound - a global experience I worked with the contractor to make this custom doorway.

I flanked the home with some landscape images, added props and provided a soundtrack of sounds from rural villages, cities, music and traffic from around the world. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/rejuvenating-maaa daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/new-page daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/launching-gloss-rx daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402966017-ENFG0ONY8Z9MH1ABHWOC/GLOSS+BRAND+GUIDELINES.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - GlossRX brand identity I have known one of the owners of Gloss Rx my entire life, so I totally understood her aesthetic: high-end, classy and classic, chic. I immediately was drawn to a look that reminded me of Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, or Elle. The owners of Gloss Rx also wanted fun messaging that uplifts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965933-8SH61FUYAI4IJRA4RUGP/GLOSS+BRAND+GUIDELINES3.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - brand guidelines I put together a tool box with a basic color palette, elegent fonts and sparkly backgrounds so that they could create content for their brand on social media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965962-EE61P0UADWKGZ1TY3LS9/GLOSS+BRAND+GUIDELINES2.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - logo guidelines I wanted Gloss Rx to have a good understanding on how the logo is spaced and what fonts are used. I provided them with some basic advice on spacing and how to use the reverse and black logos as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965953-17NENBI2Z8QILWP6K50R/envelopeglossgift.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - treat yo' self This graphic was used in multiple ways for gift giving, such as an envelope for a gift card and social media. I created the floral pattern right before spring hit, and injected some oranges and magentas to bring some much needed color after a long winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402966006-CDYWJ7UFQZLR9PHLUCCJ/gloss_WL_IG1.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - insta ad This is an ad for instagram for weight loss solutions. I used layers to just give a hint of a physique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402966027-JG76Q86N5TKAZHGQ3DOY/IMG_2719.jpeg Launching Gloss Rx - signage It’s not real until there’s a sign! This is Gloss Rx signage installed at the shop at Hawthorne Plaza in Leawood, Kansas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965943-C2ZQF0QRPSOTQV0D5TXX/50card.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - gift card I layered some leopard print and floral for Gloss’ first ever gift card. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965923-174EZ5MHHXV9HKDMWWVY/glossrxinvite.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - event invite This invite was created for a ‘bubbly and botox’ party at Gloss Rx. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965995-3EW562MLJ2V9Y4IR7Y4E/bepicky-01.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - insta post To me the shimmer says ‘look good, feel good.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402966039-AMNDYE2XT7DS557RBOMJ/cocochanel-01.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - insta post An example of a quote treatment for instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965984-9PWQRQ6UPFELJ4CSVHZU/weightlossadd_finals-01.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - insta ad Going back to the original inspiration for Gloss’ brand, I created this ad to look like a fashion magazine. And, I love the positive messaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402965974-INH8YD4MB2O84GLW9QNU/weightlossadd_finals-02.jpg Launching Gloss Rx - insta ad I love the positivity, and portrayal of a mom who looks ‘real.’ https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/creating-exhibitions daily 0.75 2026-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958368-LZQPAGUDJEB7BB7X5TTH/DSC_0151.jpg Creating exhibitions - samara, frank lloyd wright exhibition For so many reasons, I loved working on this exhibition. This brochure was one that I had creative freedom on, and I came up with this idea to have a custom dye cut made with wood grain inspired by the home. I used a gloss paper, with a matte soft touch coating to create a wood feel on the paper. I loved the way this brochure was so tactile and interesting with the cut out and paper treatment. It gives you a glimpse of what it’s like to walk in a Frank Lloyd Wright home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958294-VN5PVYOI3BDD9H3KKILC/DSC_0151A.jpg Creating exhibitions - samara brochure I was able to actually travel to Samara and photograph the home.I loved using the images I captured in the brochure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958410-DOIRBXE4JJFOD83CSU4N/DSC_0324.jpg Creating exhibitions - sister corita brochure I had never heard of Sister Corita but was so glad I learned about her (especially as a female designer) through designing for this exhibition. Her work is bold and revolutionary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958270-MR0ZROEARNGCJQD6CZZC/DSC_0327.jpg Creating exhibitions - sister corita brochure Sister Corita’s work is so bold and bright, when I proofed the brochure, I wasn’t happy with how dull everything looked compared to the art. I worked with my print vendor rep, and we came up with a solution to use 50% CMYK ink and 50% neon CMYK ink mix. The result was sharp bold color that captured Corita’s work perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958282-E7M8OEBYXWE6S8K505OT/DSC_0331.jpg Creating exhibitions - sister corita brochure I designed this brochure to be oversized, with a half panel added in to feature even more artwork. After mixing in half neon CMYK ink, I also applied a UV coating to pop the colors even more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958420-GDEVMKZKM5ZBOK8C8XM5/DSC_0287.jpg Creating exhibitions - the return of yellow peril cover I wasn’t sure Roger Shimomura, the artist of this exhibition, would let me do this design. The fonts are sort of art deco and Dick Tracy inspirted, but when juxtaposed to the imagery, it makes for a very garish design, which is what I was going for. Roger ended up saying it looked ‘nasty and edgy’ which I thought was bad, but he then said he loved it and to move forward with the design. I used a gloss UV coating to imprint his name on the cover so that the cover art stood out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958439-IN5C62JZ0TWFGQVJFL69/DSC_0281.jpg Creating exhibitions - the return of yellow peril brochure I loved reading about Roger Shimomura’s work and life. I was familiar with his art but I hadn’t realized the amount of racism he experienced. His work also opened my eyes to historical instances of racism toward Asian Americans. To keep all of this content in the brochure, I designed a 4 panel roll fold so that we could provide enough imagery and content for the audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958460-VGRD2DCZKKV955UO5N5X/Shimomura+1.jpg Creating exhibitions - yellow peril text panel For all the exhibitions I worked on while designing at M-AAA, I also created wall text panels that led the audience throughout the sections of the exhibition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958389-ZT2GCF31QMK22SPQK28P/shimhouse.jpg Creating exhibitions - shimomura's garage One of the best compliments I could receieve was when I visited Roger Shimomura’s garage studio and signage from the exhibition I designed was hanging there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958399-ZOTWO1RX2SXZZYZRA9AC/DSC_0198.JPG Creating exhibitions - advancing tradition brochure I am a huge fan of printmaking and was so excited to work on this exhibition featuring several printmaking artists. I was inspired by black copper plates and how artists start with this single thing and layer and play with chemicals and etch until something magical appears. So, I used copper plate texture in the font. I also tried to keep design elements minimal so as not to clash with the variety of art featured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958357-27SL6G0VTTZ2WF7KM01U/DSC_0379.jpg Creating exhibitions - advancing tradition kids gallery activity I created this activity by printing direct to sintra (PVC sheets) and having holes drilled into the corners. Simple hook and ball chain held the guide together, and venues could easily hang these up for kids to walk through the exhibition and explore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958326-BPTGVA77Z78EGZ756MOQ/DSC_0381.jpg Creating exhibitions - advancing tradition kids gallery activity The benefit of printing a gallery guide direct to sintra and rounding the corners, it makes the guide kid-proof, drop-proof, water-proof … it’s almost indestructible. It’s also easy to hold and carry, and inexpensive to reprint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958304-BSJI532H3BP4YDOCW970/DSCN0478.jpg Creating exhibitions - the fine art of jazz I did a ton of research into mid-century jazz album covers, which was quite enjoyable for me. I saw a lot of samples of bold shapes and moody fonts. I didn’t want to design something overbearing the photography, but I did want to emulate a shadowy jazzy night performance with colors and font. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958337-XM83ACR3ARCB0JZFIO7S/DSC_0372.jpg Creating exhibitions - the fine art of jazz brochure I loved these images and working with simple graphics to create a certain smoky jazz vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958379-PVQBJ3SKM3WH0BLSYRGO/DSCN0493.jpg Creating exhibitions - the fine art of jazz exhibition opening This image may be entirely redundant for a portfolio, but the shadows, the blinds, the music in the background, reminded me a scene from Film Noir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958347-O4FILNOHHA114POQEU36/DSCN0468.jpg Creating exhibitions - fine art of jazz text panels This is another sample of text panels created for an exhibit. With traveling exhibitions, one never knows exactly how the content will be displayed. Utilizing the posts at the Kansas City downtown library was actually quite successful and I saw a lot of people stopping to read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958429-4350HEOD794GJJCPHOX3/DSC_0376.jpg Creating exhibitions - the fine art of jazz brochure interior I loved using the raw edge from photography development as a design feature to add texture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958260-GCDFKE7RD5KT0Z19W8CV/DSC_0224.jpg Creating exhibitions - women call for peace brochure This exhibition featured a group of female artists that advocate for peace and women’s rights. I wanted to feature their faces on the cover, because the art was so powerful, I wanted the audience to know that a diverse group of admirable women were behind this art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958315-0Q70FH97TOTAHH52QVNV/Gallery+Pano+3+Lw+Rez.jpg Creating exhibitions - women call for peace large panel This exhibition featured a listening activity, so I created a room divider out of fabric and tension poles, much like you might see at a trade show. This helped baffle outside noise and created an area to concentrate on the activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a2e0d394d7dde5ddf8d1a44/1781402958450-YHPKW21SFIYHS20P3LKU/DSC_0227.jpg Creating exhibitions - women call for peace interior brochure When designing brochures with art, scale is as important as color quality. I always try to hint at scale, so that the viewer has a sense of what the art looks like while visiting the exhibition. https://www.aprilneumanndesigns.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-06-14
