Another part of my BFA art exhibit was I designed labels for cans. Each label lists a chemical that can be found in processed food and describes what effect that chemical has on the human body. By taking that actual chemical structure I was able to design the patterns which you see on each label.

During my college years at UND I was part of the design team. I would design postersfor art exhibits being shown in the gallery.
Since I have been employed at Design Wizards I have made many advertisements for phone books around the country. Some companies only require one ad (Simply Style). Other companies ask for multiple ads (Pizza Machine) in which I use cohesive colors and styles to keep their brands identity distinguished.

In every successful business comes change and after 64years of great business and customer service Dakota FoodEquipment saw the need for expansion. The growingdemand for a one-stop commercial Kitchen design & foodservice supply company. As a result Dakota FoodEquipment merged with DHA a commercial design firm(based near St. Cloud, MN) to form Culinex.
"Dakota Food Equipment is a familiar name in NorthDakota while DHA is well established in and around theTwin Cities. Rather than trying to introduce DHA to theDakotas or position a name like Dakota Food Equipmentaround Minneapolis, we decided to rename our entireoperation Culinex," said Dennis Hahn President of DHAabout the name change.
Kevin Bouma, President of Dakota Food Equipmentadded, "both companies bring something extraordi-
nary to the table. Dakota Food
Equipmentoffers commercial kitchen supplyand project management, and DHA brings top-flight kitchen design. Now we have a full-service shopunder one roof, but what really separates us is our unparal-leled dedication to the customer. We want the nameCulinex to be synonymous with customer service, so muchso that the term "customer satisfaction" no longer applies.We aim for customer astonishment. As a result, we've putour slogan right next to the name: Culinex, Serving You."Culinex has kept its storefronts open in Fargo, ND andGrand Forks, ND. Contracting Services, including consult-ing and design, is in Sartell, MN located just minutes fromSt. Cloud, MN.
There has been no change in management, and they are providing the same products and fine service on whichthey have built their reputation in the industry. Since itsinception over sixty years ago, Dakota Food Equipmenthas prided itself on delivering the highest quality and bestvalue to its customers. This practice has allowed Dakota
FoodEquipment to grow into a national industry leader in thecommercial food service equipment and small-wares distri-bution. This tradition will carry on under the Culinex banner.
In any business the most important part of the business isthe customer. Culinex will continue to emphasize out-standing customer service by offering fair prices, correlat-ed with integrity and honesty.
