Project: The Strait Stamp Society holds an annual stamp show in Sequim and commissioned me each year to design one envelope cachet to commemorate a local anniversary. For two different events I created a watercolor illustration to honor the Migratory Bird Treaty and combined hand-drawn illustrations and vector text to celebrate the local Rotary Club Salmon Bake.
Project: Northwest Travel & Life (NWTL) magazine consists of beautiful photos and helpful tips to plan your next adventure. As creative director I designed a unique, hand-drawn doodle depicting adventures highlighted in the 52 Getaways issue.

Another exhibition portrayed three moments of the 1969 moon landing: the launch, the flight path, and the moon exploration. Each cancel stamp was designed within strict U.S. Postal Service guidelines.
