Rebel Kettle brews great beer with a rock and roll attitude! They needed branding that would capture their personality and be recognizable in the craft beer scene. They wanted to have a rockabilly skeleton concept modernized.
To strike the right balance to create an effective brewhouse logo, artist Kelley Ernst was enlisted to create the rockabilly skeleton that would become the focal point of the logo.

I would highly recommend David for any creative project (large or small) and have used him for freelance projects at 2 additional companies I have worked for since we parted ways in 2012. He is smart, dedicated, adaptable and extremely talented. Any company would benefit immensely from hiring him.

We found David when eJamming was under a tremendous time crunch. He had to quickly grasp numerous technological and usability requirements of three different teams while also satisfying the sensibilities of the co-founders. Without David’s organizational and communication skills, our goals would not have been adequately met. You discover a lot about people when they’re under pressure. David’s a leader.

“Big ideas” is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of David. His passion for elevating projects and ideas, all while coming up with creative solutions and approaches in doing so, is what makes David tick. Not only was he a wonderful designer, but I was always struck with how much passion he brought to each project, always coming up with big ideas and unique approaches.
