MANY THANKS!
A heartfelt thank you to the talented Cal State University, San Bernardino 2023 Branding course students, led by the passionate Professor Adrienne Martin. I was honored to be invited as the industry professional guiding the Branding class project. Throughout the semester, the students took on the challenge with dedication and creativity. Each week, we met to discuss their research, share new ideas and present their work. They developed thoughtful concepts, produced detailed sketches and crafted final designs along with process statements that brought their brand visions for CreativEnvironment to life.
Special recognition goes to Group 5—Shaira Mae Sabando, Albert Lee, Juan Carrillo and Martin Zamudio. Their logo design and color palette perfectly captured the spirit of CreativEnvironment, reflecting both the brand’s essence and aspirations. I am truly grateful for their hard work and proud to showcase their design throughout our rebranded website. Thank you all for your creativity and commitment—it has made a lasting impact on the brand.
