Case study: Jayco
Jayco, a leading national RV manufacturer based in Northern Indiana, commissioned a series of murals for each of their plants after seeing the impact of our work at the local Boys & Girls Club.
The goal of the project was to create a more cheerful atmosphere and show appreciation to their employees by transforming their everyday workspaces into meaningful, uplifting environments.
To make each mural truly personal, we collaborated directly with plant employees, asking for their input on what elements they wanted to see reflected. This approach allowed us to capture the unique spirit and culture of each location—whether it was Plant #81’s seven-time softball championship streak (marked with a bat, ball, and tally marks) or Plant #61’s beloved adopted cat, who became a playful addition to the mural.
By inviting employees into the creative process, the murals became more than just artwork—they became a source of pride, team-building, and ownership across the plants.
Hall’s Kitchen, a local pizzeria with three locations, partnered with me to help reimagine their brand through custom murals.
When new ownership took over, they envisioned establishing a fresh, urban graffiti atmosphere to set the tone for the next chapter of the business. Through bold, energetic murals designed specifically for each space, we helped bring that vision to life—creating a unique and memorable dining experience for their guests.
Following the success of the first three locations, Hall’s Kitchen has already commissioned murals for their upcoming fourth location, continuing to use art as a central part of their brand identity and customer experience.
In 2020, the Boys & Girls Club of Middlebury completed a major renovation and expansion of their clubhouse and commissioned custom murals to enhance their new spaces.
I was honored to design and paint murals for two key areas: the Junior Room (for 4th–6th graders) and the Cadet Room (for K–3rd graders). Each mural was thoughtfully created to inspire creativity, foster a sense of place, and support the Club’s programming goals.
In the Cadet Room, murals were used strategically to define two distinct play zones—one focused on Legos, and the other an imaginative downtown Main Street scene featuring businesses from the Middlebury community. These businesses also serve as major donors to the Club, allowing the mural to visually celebrate the spirit of community support.
As he prepared for retirement, the surgeon at Animal Aid Clinic fulfilled a long-held dream: commissioning a custom mural for the side of the clinic’s building.
Inspired by a mural he had seen during his travels, he wanted to bring a similar sense of beauty, community, and warmth to the place he had devoted his career to serving. I worked closely with him to design a piece that honored the spirit of the clinic and created a lasting visual legacy for both the team and the community.
Today, the mural stands as a vibrant tribute—not just to a beloved veterinary practice, but to the personal vision and passion that helped shape it.
