Kooch-i-ching Cruiser Handbook
- Cruiser Handbook
Ideation, Design, & Art Direction 






Description
This concept was presented to the Camping and Education Foundation, a Kooch-i-ching Boys Camp in Minnesota, to update the current camp handbook. The concept presented was an opportunity to transform a first generation camp manual of all-text, type-set vanilla booklet into a more interactive, informative, inspirational, individual documented experience. The concept outlined preparation for camp, provided information of camp life and expectations, and re-enforced the camp's "Law of the Woods". The handbook also provides additional pages to record notes and pocket for camp maps and materials.

Ogichi Speaker Series Poster
The Friends of Ogichi Speaker Series is a fundraiser event, sponsored by Ogichi Daa Kwe, a summer camp for young women, where all proceeds benefit future camp programs.
Poster Concept:
Rock bottom, where you make the ultimate decision to live, or die. The poster, for the 4th Annual Ogichi Strong Spirited Speaker Series, welcomes and announces the two authors, Kristina Wandzilak and Constance Curry, using a creative representation to capture the events and emotions in their book, “the lost years”.
I chose water because I believe there is a fear of water in all of us; a fear of being trapped, a dark abyss, and the unknown. Within the book, Kristina is sinking deeper and deeper; things in front of her seem out of reach and she is drowning in her own decisions. The deeper she sinks, the colder and farther her dreams become until she eventually hits her coldest, darkest point, rock bottom. It was then that Kristina found her will to live and the foundation to start over. 2012 Ideation, Design, Art Direction -
