NEST Book
Taos, New Mexico, USA

A personal note:

NEST is an expression of gratitude to the earth, for surrounding us with an abundance of unconditional beauty. When we look at a tree and become the tree, we realize that in this vast, loving universe, we are complete, just as we are.

Everywhere we look, whether at the simplest shadow cast by a blade of grass, or a majestic landscape filled with dramatic color and form, both experiences leave us with a undeniable feeling of how good it is to be alive.

This philosophy inspires my life and my work.

Red River Ski Area – Visitor Guide
Taos, New Mexico, USA

FEEL Design Associates was hired to design this project as part of a collaboration with Janet Webb (Webb Design) and copywriter/ creative director, Cara Fox.

The design inspiration came from Cara’s short, edgy text, allowing for a bold, free design approach. Messages fall vertically, diagonally and horizontally on the page and the guide has a pull-out calendar and poster in the center. The design of their new website was based on this design.
