CalCPA
Accounting & Financial Services
This custom Chonkit collection was designed for CalCPA’s executive board, with pieces representing the organization’s core values, brand, and diverse leadership styles.
By making abstract qualities tangible, the collection helps leaders explore individual strengths, spark meaningful conversations, and discover how different perspectives build a stronger team.
GAF & Siplast
Roofing & Building Science
We transformed Siplast’s signature tapered insulation system into something people could see, touch, and take with them, complete with a real, working water drain that demonstrated the product’s purpose in miniature. Transforming their innovative system into a distinctive, pocket-sized keepsake creates a memorable way to spark curiosity, invite conversation, and keep the brand top of mind long after events and meetings.
New Belgium Brewing
Craft Brewing & Beverage
New Belgium Brewing asked me to create a special Chonkit experience for its ’90s-themed 35th anniversary party, adding a custom touch to a celebration of the people and culture behind the brand. Inspired by New Belgium’s spirit of creativity, community, and fun, these custom pieces gave guests a tangible keepsake and a reason to connect.
Designed to be shared, played with, and remembered, the Chonkits brought extra personality to a milestone celebration.
Serious Play Conference
Learning & Game Design
Chonkit inventor Craig Carpenter was invited to the Serious Play Conference, where hundreds of custom Chonkit pin packs were distributed to attendees. The limited edition trinkets celebrated both sides of play: the fun, imaginative freedom of open play and the powerful role games can play in learning, communication, and problem-solving.
Featuring the conference’s signature design, each pack offered a tangible reminder that play is more than entertainment. It’s a way to spark ideas, connect people, and unlock new possibilities.
American Cheese Society
Specialty Food & Artisan
Who knew conference swag could be this gouda? We created a custom collection of Chonkits for the American Cheese Society conference, mixing cheesy puns, the ACS logo, and playable mini-games into one seriously fun experience. More than just branded giveaways, these bite-sized conversation starters brought a little humor, friendly competition, and a whole lot of personality to the event.
Baker Tilly
Business Advisory & Consulting
This signature Chonkit collection was created for Baker Tilly’s principals, featuring the company logo and precisely matched brand colors down to the smallest detail.
Crafted to reflect the care behind the Baker Tilly brand, each piece offered a tangible way to spark conversation and build connections. Extra Chonkits were included for principals to share with colleagues, carrying the experience beyond the leadership team and bringing Baker Tilly’s spirit of collaboration to life.
Maker Faire
Creative Learning & Innovation
I worked with the Maker Faire marketing team to create custom Chonkits that celebrate the creativity, curiosity, and hands-on spirit at the heart of every Faire. Inspired by the people who turn ideas into reality, these custom pieces encourage attendees to imagine, experiment, and explore.
More than a keepsake, each Chonkit embodies the maker mindset: big ideas can start with small things, and the possibilities are limited only by what you can imagine.
