Cultivating Memorable Moments By Extending Your Living Space To The Outdoors
Jones Outdoor Living Mission Statement
​
Discovering an untouched niche in the landscaping industry, I created a mission statement that focused on the moments shared with loved ones, rather than just pretty landscapes.​ ​​​​

Jones Outdoor Living
Logo Design
With a strong mission statement, I designed a logo representing a highly skilled landscape company that blends the comfort of the indoors with the beauty of nature.

Jones Outdoor Living Photoshoot Management & Direction
​
I communicated with the field manager and the photographer to set up an itinerary for shoot days, to maximize the best natural light for desired images and videos to be captured.
​
Gave direction to the photographer for style of images, angles, rough camera settings, and emotions to be captured.
