Verseau is an innovative immuno-therapy company based in Boston. The name translates to "Aquarius" in French which is appropriate as the properties of water are imperative to their work. The logo I developed emphasizes a progressive motion using lower case script 'v's that simultaneously represent waves of water. The logo is also indicative of the aquarius icon. It represents strength, optimism, and transformation. http://www.verseautx.com/

Class: Can Design Touch the Heart?
My friend felt time was passing her by and that she wasn't successful because of her career and relationship status. I refaced a flipclock for her including photograph portraits to indicate the hour and phrases provided secretly by her friends indicated the minutes stating why they think she is a successful person. The only rule: the phrase must have nothing to do with career or significant other. We placed it in her apartment as a surprise.
She was very touched.
