2017
Corporate Event

Katie Mast at Cotton & Oak contacted me with the fabulous idea she had. She was designing a moody holiday party for Andalou Naturals and wanted me to write each menu, name tag, and a couple of empowering quotes. The goals were to make a modern but luxurious party with agates, jewel tones, black velvet, and gold accents.

To accomplish this, we decided a simple modern script would work best to keep things clean and contemporary. I wrote on the agates with an acrylic marker. For the menus and quote pieces I used a custom mixed gouache ink alternated with a gold mica ink and a stiff blunt nib too keep the thick-and-thins more subtle.
