Michelle’s Custom Taxidermy
Michelle’s Custom Taxidermy hired Doodl to create a bold, yet elegant identity for their local Montana taxidermy business.

Grizzly Bear Face Artwork
I’ve seen tons of these paisley animal designs all over the internet. They are all pretty generic. So, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some story elements into the artwork. I wanted to create some sort of hidden narrative that is more than just a bunch of lines. There’s nothing wrong with pretty. In […]

Bitterroot Valley Homeschool
Project Background: This was a personal pro-bono project for the Bitterroot Valley Homeschool group in Montana. The group contacted me about designing their graduation program.
