For almost two years now, Boswyck Farms has been offering a one-of-a-kind Hydroponic Certification course. We’d been printing the book in house but for our first course of 2014, the course book was sent off to be printed and spiral bound.
While I can’t give away the trade secrets inside (for which I did the layout and several hydroponic system drawings), I can show off the new front and back covers as a tease. Back cover copy provided by Chloë Bass.
I put this together for an event that, sadly, didn’t come to fruition, but I really liked the idea of it (and hope we can resurrect it again!) Event description provided by Chloë Bass. The rest is my design, including the photoshopped birthday hat on our farm mascot, Boswyck T. Sheep.
To get word out about the STEM education services Boswyck Farms provides to K-12 students, teachers, and ongoing ed for adults, I designed a short brochure that highlighted available workshops and the NYS standards that were supported by the material.

The Skopje Squirrel event was a clothing drive/basketball/soccer tournament, all volunteer-run on a budget of $0. It worked thanks to a lot of generous donations and a host of local student and Peace Corps volunteers.
“Why a squirrel?”, you may wonder.
We were hard pressed to find a better S animal. Salamander? Snake? We were also conscious of the fact that it had to sound reasonable catchy in Macedonian too. Squirrel it was.
So I drew up this beefy squirrel dude to represent.
Bonus:
I also made 3 trophies for the event winners from paper mache, to match our logo. (Very serious about that budget of $0). Here I am with the Bronze Medal Trophy Squirrel before it was awarded to the winning team:
