#ThankfulThursday - Edition #4: James Philipps

James is an amazingly talented Graphic Designer and family friend who helped develop and create all of the original Volite, INC. logos. He is very patient and spent many hours meeting with me to turn my visual ideas, concepts and drawings into classic, cleanly outlined formal designs. He truly understands the vision for Volite, INC. and was able to run with many ideas completely on his own. He was integral in creating the standard Volite logo, which has been used for all of the official branding and is both simple and sleek. He was also responsible for building all of the visual concepts and graphic designs for the original website launch back in 2007. This included all product images, banners, fonts, logos and visuals. One of the logos that he created appears on the back of each of the plain black and white leather belts that were originally purchased for the company and are customizable to specific pick color patterns and designs. 

Thank you SO much for helping these visions come to life, James!

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #3: Mari Barron

Mari has been one of my best friends since we were in middle school and is someone that I know I can truly trust. We love a lot of the same music and whenever we are together we are always cracking jokes, laughing and having a good time! When Mari gets in the zone, her one of a kind artistic style truly shines and she is especially great with stencil work. She is so focused and has such a high attention to detail, sprinkled with an amazingly laid back, fun, unique and creative vibe. Mari is an amazing artist and I have really enjoyed seeing the many different projects that she has created over the years. She drew all of the original VoliteINC. t-shirt designs, which are classic to the official branding of this company. Thank you, MariB!

Here's an original drawing that Mari made especially for Volite, INC.:
