Resting in the River Natural Products’ preparations vibrate with life force and health-enriching properties. All of Resting in the River’s products are made from herbs and flowers grown organically in New Mexico. 

I created the updated Resting in the River Brand Identity which was then placed on products sold directly on the website. For more information please visit: www.restingintheriver.com/

Artist John Paul Soto -   http://www.johnps.com/


I had the pleasure of teaching this amazing student, John Paul Soto, who has now gone on to do such amazing pieces. It is the reason why I teach. I see my students grow into design masters, showcasing their hard work and making a profound effect on the world. 

Design Your Style

Last semester I had a great student, Chris Sjafiroeddin, who created this great design using photoshop and photography. He created what his design and personality style is in a visual context. This is just some of the great work my students create! Thanks for sharing Chis!
