• SOUTH BARRINGTON, IL Mural

      It’s been awhile since I’ve created a mural for Dirty Dough Cookies. When their new CEO came on at the end of last year, they decided to phase out custom murals for franchisees. However, some murals were grandfathered in, and some, like this one, had special approval. Mural Close-ups Left Side: Featuring Goebbert’s Pumpkin Patch with the Chicago Skyline in the background.

      Life is Sweet This ended up being a mesh of the two different designs. LIFE IS SWEET on the front, horizontal logo on the sleeve, and circle logo on the back. Let’s Get Dirty This shirt was printed as designed, just the stack of cookies did not take up so much of the front surface. It’s What’s Inside that Counts Another amalgamation of designs for this one: An Unwanted Design The logo on the side of the shirt was one of my favorite designs but they decided not to go with it.

Here’s a look at the new, blue color: I love this photo because you can see the older, orange trailer in the background: My newest designs are pictured below.

      Centerville, Utah I was approached by, Benj, the owner of Banbury Donuts in Salt Lake City, to design a mural for their new franchise opening in Centerville. Benj had previously seen a mural I designed for a Dirty Dough franchise opening in the Salt Lake area and wanted me to create something similar for Banbury Cross. This project excited me and I couldn’t wait to get started! As part of my process with any new mural, I usually sketch on my iPad and then put those sketches into a bigger design. Once a design is decided on, I will export […]

      Outside of Cookie Boxes In April of 2022, Dirty Dough needed to rebrand their boxes from the old, orange color to their new “Dirty Dough Blue.” They wanted the boxes to remain pretty basic, and asked only for their tag lines, social media, and heating instructions to be included. Following are the samples that I gave them: Inside of Cookie Boxes When Dirty Dough came out with their catering cookies, they decided that they wanted some branding on the inside of the boxes as well.
