Riley Park “100 PT.”
For as long as Riley can remember, they have always found themselves drawing and writing whenever they can and hyper-fixating on the branding they were exposed to. As a child, they used to collect packaging, business cards, and any print that they could get their hands on. This collecting addition has matured to books and higher forms of print application today. Riley has had a long academic career from a few years of nursing, ending with information technology and graphic design for marketing. Graphic design has opened up the world for Riley by allowing them to enmesh their passions into one consolidated career. They have a love for alliteration, juxtaposition and high contrast design. Motivated by connection and collaboration over competition, they look forward to a future of collaborating with others.

The logo needed to be abstract, inviting inspiration, imagination, and intention. The process resulted in creating wood prints out of old, locally reclaimed round. Turning a circular piece of birch into an abstract burrow, filled with texture, exploration, and adventure, successfully embodying the nature and intention of Craft + Burrow.
