Rize: Beyond Banking


7 Gold Awards for Online Film & Video, Design & Print, Commercials and Online Advertising & Marketing (2024)
6 Silver Awards for Online Film & Video, Design & Print, Commercials, Online Advertising & Marketing and Integrated Campaign (2024)

Rize isn’t your typical credit union—and the brand needed to reflect that. We created a warm, approachable identity that shows how much they care about their members and their communities. It helped internal teams feel more confident telling their story, and gave members a brand they could see themselves in. The result? Something that feels human, helpful, and just the right kind of bold.

Fable: Brand Identity

Gold Award for Design & Print – Corporate Identity: Identity Style Guide (2024)
Gold Award for Design & Print – Corporate Identity: Logos (2024)
Silver Award for Design & Print – Corporate Identity: Package Design (2024)
Silver Award for Design & Print – Corporate Identity: Brand Identity (2024)

Fable let us stretch creatively in all the best ways. We built a brand that balances premium with playful, using a visual style that feels both elevated and grounded in storytelling. It was a chance to explore new tones, textures, and voice—and to have a little fun while crafting something that still feels beautifully intentional.

GRRRL: STOP


Gold Award for Online Film & Video: Social Responsibility (2020)

This project came from a place of urgency and empathy. We wanted to create something that stopped people—literally and emotionally. Rather than shock, we focused on a quiet but powerful message that made you look inward. It was a reminder that sometimes the simplest creative choices can have the biggest emotional impact.

Fleming’s: Napa Valley Wine Harvest


Gold Award for Experiential & Immersive: 360 Video (2018)

This project was all about transporting the viewer—dropping them into golden-hour vineyards and letting them feel the connection between land, wine, and food. The challenge wasn’t just technical (though stitching 360 footage around barrels was no picnic); it was emotional: capturing the quiet beauty of harvest and the magic that happens when a wine meets the perfect bite. It’s an experience made to be savored, just like the pairings themselves.

Total Wine & More: Behind the Wines

Gold Award for Digital Content – Branded Digital Campaigns: Food & Beverage (2020)
Silver Award for Digital Content – Branded Digital Content: Products & Services (Consumer) (2020)

This one started with a simple truth: wine is nothing without the people who make it. We wanted to peel back the labels and show the passion, quirks, and craft behind every bottle. It was less about selling and more about storytelling—getting out of the way and letting real voices do the talking.
