Visual Branding

look good, feel good

While not a core proficiency (i’ll be the first to tell you, I am NOT a graphic artist), I’ve done a fair amount of visual branding & graphic design work, including for my own various projects. When you partner with nessential media, I can help you design and standardize your brands visual assets for use in video, social media, print & more.

In the age of sloppy AI graphics, busy flyers & overcooked logos, you can stand out with simple design & authentic character.

Logo created by nessential media as part of a marketing partnership with Xterior Xpert, simplifying and streamlining a visual identifier for a small business who previously had operated without.
Visual branding i designed & implemented across all platforms when was manager of Listen UP Radio in Iron River. The "Listen UP Radio" logo was adopted network-wide, including for the station group located in Houghton (LUPIR-Houghton).
Digital & Print flyer designed (no ai) with pre-existing AI-generated logo (transparent upper right) (design edited).
Branded onesheet i designed for proposals, website & clients. In addition to public facing branding i also designed all internal & sales-related branded handouts & proposals like these in my time with Lisen UP Radio.
Flyer for the TT Palooza (2025) hand designed utilizing existing branding & tailored to a retro-vibe.
The condensed, digital "Sponsor showcase" version utilized online and in print.
An album cover from a former musical project, this photo-of-a-photo i took on an instant polaroid carries an eerily whimsical, nostalgic vibe.
Another music project, another photo-of-an old family photo. I think its a scene of motion, freedom, open space & possibility.
This was just a fun extra project. IYKYK the Mitchell & Ness sports apparell brand. If you dont, kinda wild right? Well i took their logo and shortened it up to be, well, MY name.
Business card design for my band, dan pose. I did not design the logo itself, but i DID recognize it, along with the cream color, as being perfect for an alternative, 90sesque bands visual brand.. so... points?
