Daily Disco: Studio Intern Work
During the Summer of 2016, I had the opportunity to be a studio intern for Abbey Eilermann at her company Daily Disco. She makes custom embroidered jackets for her clients, along with enamel pins, patches, and other accessories. I was able to create illustrations to be made into projects during my time there.
Disco Citrus Design
This is an illustration that I did for Daily Disco’s collaboration with the beverage company Sparkling Ice. The design was ultimately made into both a jacket and a pin. The numbers on the illustration each indicate a color of thread for the embroidery, so that she could follow the pattern more easily.

The design (along with a jacket design that I collaborated on) was also featured on Sparkling Ice’s Instagram. You can see the post by clicking the button below.
Tag Redesign
One of the projects that I worked on while I was there was a redesign for the tags that get pinned onto the jackets before they are shipped out. We decided to go with a pink disco ball with sparkles in order to reference her logo and other branding materials.

Jaws Jacket
This shark is a design I did for a jacket for a little boy. He knew he wanted a shark on the back, so I decided to make it look like it was coming out of the jacket.

A design that I did for a jacket of a client’s pet bunny. The client wanted the illustration to look just like her pet bunny, so I made sure that the colors and patterning were true to the bunny in real life. Each number corresponds to a color of thread so that she could follow the pattern of the embroidery more easily.

Buttons
These are a few illustrations I did that were made circular buttons. They were sold at an art fair along with her other products at her booth.
