Violet's Paradise WineI began working with Brenae Royal for her Violet’s Paradise wine project in 2024. It consisted of creating five individual labels for wines from the renowned Monte Rosso vineyard in Sonoma, CA. Each label was hand-drawn and colored to include her dog Violet in different blocks of the vineyard and reflect the unique aspects of each wine, block and season.
Raptor Ridge WineryWorking with Scott and Annie Schull of Willamette Valley, OR Raptor Ridge Winery in 2022, I created a new style of label for the brand’s ‘Perspective’ Pinot Noir. This hand-drawn and colored label depicts the view from the winery’s balcony across the valley towards Mt Hood and reflects their intense respect for the land.
Four Barrel CoffeeIn 2017 I worked with San Francisco’s Four Barrel Coffee to create concept cold brew tap handles for their cafes. These three-sided handles were all wood-burned by hand on Oregon white maple, and featured their unique brand logos as well as a drawing of nearby Mission Dolores. This work was featured in Barista Magazine in June, 2017.
Cutty SarkIn 2016 I helped Cutty Sark launch a nation-wide cocktails on tap program for their ‘Prohibition Edition’ whisky at select cocktail establishments by creating three-sided tap handles. Each handle was wood-burned by hand on Oregon white maple handles and featured unique elements of the brand ‘prohibition-era’ motif. This one focused on boxing culture and the tagline ‘The Real McCoy’.

Highland ParkThis was a concept piece for Highland Park Whisky in 2015 that features a three-sided tap handle wood-burned by hand on Oregon white maple. At the time high-end liquor brands were putting their product on tap at cocktail bars as a feature. This concept handle depicts historic elements of the Highland Park brand on Orkney Island: the entry gates to the distillery and the famed St. Magnus Cathedral.
Brugal RumIn the height of the cocktails-on-tap craze of the mid 2010s, I worked with Brugal Rum to create custom three-sided tap handles for a few accounts across the Bay Area. Wood-burned and painted by hand on Oregon white maple, this handle features Brugal branding along with the iconic ‘netting’ found on their bottles. The ‘Dark n’ Stormy’ tagline got me in a little trademark trouble, so this one was short-lived.

Highland Park WhiskyCustom four bottle display viking plinth for Highland Park ‘Valhalla Series’ Scotch WhiskyIn 2017 I worked with the Edrington Group to customize a wooden four bottle, Viking-style Plinth (longboat) for their renowned ‘Valhalla Series’ Scotch Whisky. Each whisky was named after a different Norse god (Odin, Freya, Loki, Thor) and I combined Viking symbolism with Orkney island imagery across the piece. All the work was wood-burned by hand with over 200 hours of studio work.
