Recent work I’m proud of
The PAX x Jetty Extracts ‘Cannabis for Good Tour’. A summer roadshow over 3 months and 30+ tour stops, the roadshow was aimed to promote a simple, yet critical mission: get free cannabis access to cancer patients. This was be done by collecting petition signatures and urge the passage of Senate Bill 34. (Which Gov. Gavin Newsom eventually signed)

Recent work I admired
The ‘SuperShe’ branding and strategy. Noticing there was no one in the space allowing women to claim their own version of themselves. &Walsh developed an app to bring the community together. That’s where SuperShe comes in. Inspired by the protest posters from women’s marches throughout history, they developed a custom brush font that was loud & proud while also staying friendly & inviting.
