Adamant kombucha drinkers generally get their “booch” from either tap or home-brew. I consciously made my bottling and packaging choices in order to cater specifically to these dedicated kombucha drinkers. I wanted a bottle and box that could be reused, cleaned easily and showcase Booch’s brand on a daily basis. 

Single egg carton company named CLUCK, CLUCK, YEAH.  The carton to be designed had to survive a 10ft drop, connect with other cartons, and could not be made with any Styrofoam or plastic materials. I cut out tabs in my design to allow a consumer to see the egg before buying it. The tabs also turn into an impact absorber if it was to fall to the ground. 

I thought it would be cool to create a laser cut 4X5 Linhof camera as a gift to give to my favorite photographers with something meaningful inside the bellows of the camera specific to the person.  Our dear family friend has eight Golden Retrievers and he is one of my all-time favorite photographers. I thought this piece would be a good match for him.  The camera is made from wood with printmakers black ink brayed over the images so they are easier to see.  A hidden panel on top hides relief prints from the bellows of the camera. 

After getting more of a handle on laser cutting, I was interested in what other things I could do with it. I was unsure about the direction I would take until I was visiting a friend in Albuquerque. She was showing me her new earrings that were the New Mexico's symbol, the Zia Sun, made out of metal.  My mind immediately jumped to, “I could make earrings using laser cutting technology”.  I started asking all my lady friends if they had cool ideas for earrings that they would want to wear. With this, my earring line was born.
