Luxury Car Promotion

Earlier this year, I had the privilege of serving as the lead graphic designer for one of our high-profile luxury campaigns. While these campaigns are typically initiated by the Creative Manager, the transition to a new Creative Manager presented an opportunity for me to take the lead.

The $326,000 Porsche Giveaway was a comprehensive project that required designing over thirty pieces of collateral, including essential assets for the grand finale display such as oversized cut-out keys, a giant check, custom backdrops, and more. Additionally, I was responsible for producing dynamic video promotions for both outdoor and indoor screens, ensuring seamless integration across all platforms.

Luxury Cigar Lounge Menu

I had the pleasure of designing a menu for a luxurious cigar lounge. Their new VIP room called for a menu that matched its upscale ambiance. Inspired by the stunning blue river table and black and gold accents, I created a design that was both elegant and memorable. The menu’s logo and overall aesthetic were so well-received that they became a part of the venue’s branding, used in future events.

Scope of Work: Design a menu for upscale, exclusive dining event at cigar lounge.
Skills Required: Graphic Design, Print Production

Home Inspection Website

Home Inspection web design by Jessica Mendoza

I developed a mobile-responsive website for a small local home inspection company. Since it was a new business, it was important to focus on our SEO efforts to improve our search engine rankings against more established businesses. I advised the business owner to increase their Google reviews, and together we created posts with helpful home maintenance tips. We used social media to link to these posts and drive more traffic to the website. Additionally, we used plugins like Yoast to identify keywords and enhance our search engine visibility. As a result of our efforts, the company became the top recommended business for home inspectors in its city and ranked in the top three for neighboring cities and regions. Furthermore, the company now has the highest number of five-star reviews compared to its competitors.

Cahuilla Ballroom Logo

As a graphic designer for Agua Caliente Resort Casinos, I was tasked with redesigning the logo and associated materials for the Cahuilla Ballroom, a prestigious 13,000-square-foot venue known for hosting A-list celebrities. I presented three design options, and the Palm Tree Pillar was ultimately chosen as the new logo.

In my first year, this logo design was recognized with a bronze Addy Award in the 2023 Addy Awards.

Hauling Website and Logo Creation

The thing I like most about collaborating with small business owners is that they show genuine appreciation for the work that goes in to making their vision a reality. Nothing beats witnessing the excitement, the enthusiasm and the momentum to push forward with their dreams and goals once they see their company legitimized with a professional design.
