Creative Being is a project born in the Illustrator on iPad beta group that grew into a business with help from the Adobe Community Residency Fund. This shows the process of discovery and exploration to take the idea and turn it into a product.

In 2011, after finishing up my MFA, I decided to take what I had started as a student blog and build on it. The first step was to figure out the beginnings of my brand. It had to be vector, it had to go with my name (which was my site) and it had to feel like "me". This project shows the steps of design and where I ended up.

These are some of my favorite older logo designs from a few years back and a bit of the story behind them.

This idea started as a discussion with a good friend who moved overseas about how we should partner up and work on some designs together. The plan never panned out (yet), but the design was fun to work on and I have reused the base head design in a few other projects (like the 2forStew design attached at the end).
