I have a passion for design projects that help reduce harmful waste and toxins in our beautiful state of California.

This carousel was designed for RecycleSmart.org to let people know about new laws under consideration.

Laws can be hard to understand so this was designed to be bright and friendly using sunny colors and fun illustations that reflect the natural treasures of our state.

If these bills are signed into law they will help reduce food waste, plastic pollution and encourage eco-friendly practices.

Please let me know your thoughts on this design approach.

Owning your own business is hella challenging.

Sometimes the things you know you should be focusing on are NOT what you want to focus on.

And usually that’s the thing that’s holding you back from reaching your full potential with your business.

Maybe you just haven’t found the right resource to help you resolve the issue.

Whats been your biggest challenge so far this year?
