These two pieces are guided audio tours based on a painting, "Frank" by Chuck Close (pictured right), in the Minnesota Institute of Art. The first is for adults, and the second recording is geared more towards children.

A poem (of sorts) that I wrote and recorded. I wanted a piece that showcased a different tone, tempo, and level of my voice.
A sixty-second radio commercial based off a fictional grand opening of a Circuit City in the town of Lake City. Written, recorded, and edited by me.
A thirty-second radio commercial advertising Windsor Canadian Whiskey.

The Jewel Golf Club
This video was created by Fox 47 in Rochester, MN. This was one of many commercials done through Fox 47 by the Jewel throughout the 2014 & 2015 golf season. As "the Voice of the Jewel" I recorded the voiceover for the video. All other aspects of the video were handled by the talented staff at Fox 47.

This video was created as part of a Living History project for retired Winona State University professors. This is just a small two-minute clip from the fifteen-minute finished product. For this project, I worked with four other individuals. We worked together, equally sharing roles to create our finished product. I assisted in photography, videography, sound, lighting, directing, producing, interviewing, script writing, video editing, content creation and content gathering. I am also the narrator for the piece - providing the narration during moments of B-roll throughout the film (which can be heard multiple times in the clip). If you are interested in seeing more or watching the full clip, do not hesitate to contact me.

These are some different logos created for Bluff City Properties. The Quad 2.0 is one of their main apartment complexes. They wanted a futuristic design, while also making some changes to previous designs on wording, font, and color palettes. These logos are used on a number of different WsYOU affiliated sites as well as all signage/media for the Quad 2.0 (including awnings, flyers, posters, social media posts, etc.)
This was created as a sign for another apartment complex: the Third Street Studio Suites. The building was previous the Schlitz Hotel of Winona, MN. The current owners wanted a sign that paid tribute to that history by using the color scheme of the Schlitz (beer) logos. Below is the original logo used for inspiration.
This was an ad campaign for the Quad 2.0 Summer Hostel. It was used in a number of different advertising efforts. The image to the left is a billboard design that ultimately did not reach fruition. The bottom images are a website ad banner and a magazine/tourism guide advertisement that were featured on the WsYOU website as well as the website and guide for "Visit Winona". The main project for the campaign was the brochure that was created -- which was used at the Bluff City Properties office as well as the Visit Winona office. That can be viewed by clicking the "PDF box" below.
In 2010, I began blogging about the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was a fan-made site on Blogger that had news, rumors, and game recaps. In 2011 I moved the blog to a permanent website on Weebly. It was named HOWL! For two straight years I wrote news, rumors, did daily statistic updates, and created a massive archive of Minnesota Timberwolves history and information. In addition, I wrote gameday previews and recaps for every single game for two straight seasons. 164 games -- 328 detailed previews & recaps. Upon returning to school in 2014, I stopped writing/maintaining the site. Click the button below to view the website.
