Design Work:
//LOGO DESIGN
//PINOT NOIR LABEL DESIGN
Project Overview:
Grit Wine Co. is a start-up, woman-owned
company located in the Pacific Northwest.
Some of the best wine comes from grapes that have struggled in harsh climates, but are resilient nonetheless. Not only is this the inspiration behind the company name, but it is also a metaphor for the careers of the Vintners behind this brand.
The company needed a logo to represent the casual nature of their hands-on wine-making approach, with the refinement of a proper glass of wine in its most honest form.

I pronounce my last name "WHY-gant."
It is a fitting name, since I tend to search for the two main WHYs as I design—the why behind the challenge, and the why behind the solution.
So why should you work with me?
I am a multidisciplinary designer! As a former Architectural Lighting Designer, I bring a unique perspective. I approach all challenges with a listening ear, a tenacious spirit and a keen eye for human-centric solutions.
I believe in thoughtful purpose-driven creativity,
and I find inspiration in simplicity.
Design with intention.
Design with thought.
Design with me!
