Best Year Ever is a school supplies brand that believes being “spirited” is a good thing. It’s a compliment. Best Year Ever celebrates this excitement and enthusiasm. Our goal is to design school supplies with as much spirit as the kids who cram them into their backpacks. I am currently Art Director for Best Year Ever, one of June Co.’s owned brands.

Social Media Content

Here are a couple fun GIFs I created for our social media pages.

Photoshoot Work

For our lifestyle photoshoot I was in charge of the shot list, finding a photographer and models (loved this part), styling, as well as some subtle retouching to get the assets correct for specific platforms. We had such a fun day on set, and the kids did such an amazing job! We were lucky enough to have a co-worker who had a family member who was a teacher. The school and classroom were exactly what we were looking for!

Product Design

Here are some various designs that we pitched to the buyers for our back to school launch. Some of them were selected and made it onto the shelves of some big retailers. It’s cool to see the amount of effort that goes into creating one single notebook/folder.
