Wine Cube is an OpenSCAD system for designing simple, modular, high density, passive storage shelving units for standard 750ml wine bottles. My original concept, code, design and copy.

Finger Lakes Beer Trail

(Archived.)

Finger Lakes Beer Trail Marketing and Tourism Associates, LLC. promoted the craft breweries and related businesses in the greater Finger Lakes region of upstate New York through a marketing platform that included print, broadcast and online/social media channels as well as in person events.

In partnership with Watkins Glen International, the Finger Lakes Beer Trail helped organize and sponsor the first three years of the Finger Lakes Craft Beer Festival. The Finger Lakes Beer Trail won the 2011 Tompkins County Signs of Sustainability Award.

I was a co-founder of this partnership, and my primary responsibilities included print, broadcast (TV and radio) and online marketing including print and digital graphic design and copy, event/program planning, promotion, and management as well as bookkeeping and website coding.

Web site

Self-hosted, responsive Wordpress site using custom plugins for location and event data. An earlier version of the website was done in Drupal with similar custom modules.

Large-format multi-fold brochures

Over 100,000 copies printed annually and distributed throughout the region and beyond. The 2014-2015 edition won the CTM Media Group’s 2015 Regional Best Brochure Award. The design of the 2015-2016 edition of the brochure was coordinated with the launch of a completely re-implemented website with an updated responsive design (migrating from Drupal to Wordpress) as well as the introduction of an updated Beer Trail logo that same year. (The updated logo was designed by Jonathan Westfall with my input.)

Other selected promotions

(The Craft Beer Week logo was also created by Jonathan Westfall.)
