Willis Design Studios

Another wonderful year of @thebmoa Via Arte! So glad the event took place. It was a little different than usual, but the art was as remarkable as ever. So grateful to everyone who made this happen! And to all the spectators who were willing to follow the new guidelines so that this event could take place. This is a photo of the square we sponsored by artist, @morgan_townson ... we were out with the sunrise photographing the individual squares this morning. More event photos to come! #thebmoaviaarte #streetpaintings #streetpaintingfestival #bakersfield #bakersfieldartist

This is a first for us We designed a fountain! The Healing Garden at @adventisthealth Bakersfield is now the Estella Espericueta Memorial Garden, and has these beautiful bronze flowers in memory of loved ones on the fountain. We started off by helping the Foundation visualize this with a photoshop mock-up, and the initial design became a reality. It looks so beautiful, and we’re honored to play a part in making it a happen!

C.A.R.E. got a new website! Mike is on the board for C.A.R.E., which is the charity side of @bakovillagefest where he also serves as a committee chair. The site was long over due for a makeover. So who better to tackle the project than their passionate, design savvy board member? Visit the new site, careforkids.org to see all the local children’s charities who have benefitted from your donations and support of Village Fest. This is why we do it! #webdesign #bakersfieldwebdesign #careforkids #bakovillagefest #kerncounty #bakersfield #bakersfieldgraphicdesign #bakersfieldgraphicdesigner

Pip, Pip, Hooray! @adventisthealth got a new pediatrics mascot! So, we said goodbye to the jungle animal design, and created a new design for the Immunization Trailer with this little penguin instead. Cute, huh? #bakersfield #bakersfieldgraphicdesign #ahbakersfield #adventisthealthbakersfield #vehiclewraps #childrensimmunization #first5california #first5

There’s no place like home... @17thplacetownhomes spread some cheer to their residents yesterday with gift baskets from @oleanderandpalm , music from @bsonow and the sun finally came out so I could brighten up the courtyard with a little bit of art. Being part of the creative ways people are coming up with to connect to one another during this time has been truly special. #bmoachalkyourwalk #socialdistancing #bakersfield #beinbakersfield @ Downtown Bakersfield

Throwback Tuesday... because days and times are endlessly running together right now. Have you checked on your busy friends? They’re probably doing a lot of cleaning ... and finding cool photos like this. #historyofgraphicdesign #bakersfieldgraphicdesigner
