Although Jelly Belly had a premier product and is marketed as a gourmet jellybean, the imagery wasn't reflective of that. An initial direction given to the team was to redesign our corporate and sales communications and create more compelling product shots. These examples reflect how the imagery improved and the Sales catalogs received more compelling covers. A fun project that became a catalyst to building a healthy library of quality imagery. Photographers: Jonothan Woodward (Bay Area) and Carin Krasner (LA).

Sample of my photo direction abilities. I've been fortunate in having the opportunity to work with the best shooters in the industry. They are not all displayed on my site, but through the years I've gained so much from each and every one of them. With that comes a life long friendship and connection. Grateful!— Carin Krasner photographer

New product design
Option for Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips gift bag as well as incorporating a simplified and perhaps more sophisticated version of the Jelly Belly logo. This design took place as our department was exploring modifications to the logo to add dimension to it and update. Thought we'd throw it in this presentation to show an application.

Matrix Casino. Englebrect Advertising in Chico. We presented 2 different approaches. One without photography, to keep costs down. The shapes that are subtle in the background reflect the architecture of the building, which was unique. The second campaign included photography and details of some of the interior which showcases some remarkable mosaics.

This work was done with David Stolberg (writer), for John Schadler in Las Vegas. He has the Aria account and was looking for a fresh approach. We had worked with John on Steve Wynn Hotels including Bellagio, Mirage, Beau Rivage while he was VP Marketing for Wynn. It was fun to work together again.
This annual report project was the focus of my contractual agreement with UC Davis. It was a challenge I was excited to take. There was a desire to break format and tradition of the past Annual Reports. It was a great experience, I learned a lot about the University and plan to do more work in the future. We just learned (Jan. 2019) that the piece won a silver award in the national CASE competitions. (https://www.case.org/) I am happy to have have contributed in making this project a success for the marketing team. Writer: Montana Strohl-Roy
This work was done through Greenhaus. I really enjoyed the work. Craig Fuller had redone the logo and we created a template for their in-house creative team to use with a design and guides for the alumni magazine and website. They are currently using that template and standards. Great project.
This work was done for PackagingArts. It is an image board depicting the brand mood for the season, setting the tone for additional POP work.

I was ACD on SKYY, America West, Saturn  and The Wynn hotels. The hotels included Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio. I was put on those brands following launching Sprint mobile. I spent 2 years primarily on Sprint, which was a huge launch. I don't have much of that work any longer but because of my success on it I was rewarded by being promoted to VP and more opportunities to work on additional brands. Inclusive of SKYY. This image is of the Case packaging for Skyy. It tied in with some POP work that went into Costco and BevMo. I was fortunate to work under the greats— Jerry Andaline and Paul Mimiaga. A true honor and privilege.  Great mentors to me at an incredible time in my career. Arnold Beck, photographer.

EmblemHealth brand launch NYC — EmblemHealth provides care for people who work for the City. Firemen, Police and various City workers. What sets Emblem apart is its promise to connect with the individuals they take care of. They truly are more than an insurance company and deliver on the tagline "What care feels like". We wanted to get that across in a big way — especially since that is not the normal experience with health care. We had a huge presence upon launch in NYC. Wild postings, building wraps and banners, a microsite that provided insite to the employees that work there and set them apart. The voice was heard and the brand was born and recognized.

This work was a lot of fun to work on. It was done for Greenhouse in San Diego. Writer - Tori Magliano.  The Villas are a resort community in Del Mar, CA. These mansions are somewhat similar to a time share,  regarding the purchase. The experience though, not comparable. It's pretty incredible and memorable. There is a ot of beauty in the details. Extremely elegant We wanted to relate that when you are there, it's a time to breathe and take in the details, relax.

Estrella is a 200+ acre project out in the Sonora desert. We targeted folks that value the beauty of living in beautiful open space combined with all the amenities of living in the city. Tori Magliano was the writer. RJ Muna, photographer. Together, incredible imagery with the most intriguing words created a very successful campaign. Estrella became the destination and competed very strongly against surrounding properties.

Montecito is a community that lives within the  Estrella ranch. Like the branding of Estrella we're selling the attributes of living there.  The ranch is 25 miles east of Pheonix AZ. The commute is a bad one. We needed to appeal to people who feel the worth of enduring that commute to live in a place that is steeped in nature and subtle beauty. "Habitat Forming" came to me early on a Saturday morning. It seemed perfect to meld the humans and their new neighbors— woodpecker, lizard, jack rabbit etc.

I was lucky enough to be the ACD on the launch of Bellagio. David Stolberg was CD and my writing partner was Joe Bultman. Since the hotel wasn't built yet we combined the essence of living in Italy with the sense of luxury the hotel would bring. At the time it was hard to believe they would pull it off, the real experience Steve Wynn had dreamt — but we all know he delivered, and then some.

The San Diego Natural History Museum was going through a major renovation. In order to fund the effors we (Stoorza Advertising) were to create a folio that housed the renovation plans and goals. The peice was conceived by Craig Fuller (CD) and I, as the Art Director, made it come to reality. Working with illustrators, photographers and the librarians at the facility to make it happen. The museum housed thousands of steel-lined engravings that were so old, they were out of copyright. We were able to incorporate them as appropriate. Stunning. The piece won several ADDY's and including a Gold. It was also highlighted in CA magazine.

I worked on Saturn as an ACD for several years. I was teamed with Joe Bultman - writer/ACD. I don't have a lot of the work that was generated over rthe years, but the following examples give you a hint. My responsibilities included: National annual autoshow booth design and  graphics, National outdoor, video, In-store graphics, web banners, and auto show brochures. Every piece of communication was spoken and artfully directed to feel the genuinely honest personality of our brand.  I learned a lot about branding  while at Riney. Hal still worked there then and it was an honor to be surrounded by the best in this industry. All have had a huge influence on advertising and storytelling. And all contributed greatly in teaching me the importance of maintaining a brands character through every piece of communication.

When I'm not working— I have always loved the outdoors. I run and hike as much as possible. Always in areas where I can take in natural beauty. It keeps me balanced and quite happy! These shots are from numerous hikes in the hills of Vacaville, CA.
