Designing Corn Hole Boards
I feel most engaged when I get to apply my design skills to something that doesn’t typically require a flashy design at all. I like deviating from traditional surfaces and mediums to more peculiar combinations. In this case, corn hole boards that are functional without paint, but stand out that much more when painted.

The Process
Play.
Taking the time to brainstorm is incredibly important to me. This exercise warms me up to potential visual possibilities and decisions.
Compose.
After I’ve chosen an initial composition, I like imagining different color combinations, because all ideas need to be visualized before production.
Apply.
Application is a whole process in itself. Prepping the surface, using the right brushes, layering and patience are all incredibly important for thoughtful execution.
