GOODYNUF · CUSTOM COMMISSIONS

Affinity Designer · Procreate · technical illustration, product development

My BFA in Architecture never fully left the studio. For custom commissions I produce detailed sketches inspired by the drafting language I learned in school — dimensioned elevations, material swatches, section-inspired layouts, scaled title blocks — drawn in Affinity Designer on iPad. It’s not AutoCAD, but it speaks the same visual grammar: clarity, precision, and respect for the person receiving the document. A client should be able to understand exactly what they’re ordering before clay is ever touched.

Commissions have included a Kenzan dish for a florist and a pendant lamp, each delivered with full specs and clay options. The wholesale illustration sheets — hand-drawn product renderings with pricing and add-on options — came from the same instinct.

The Stockyards Brewing commission captures how this side of GOODYNUF works in practice: they sent me their carpet pattern as a PNG, I adapted it for ceramic trays, sourced leather stamps from a craftworker, cut stencils with a Cricut, and hand-laid everything on bisque ware before glazing. Not my aesthetic. Turned out better than expected. That’s kind of the whole brand in one project.

Where this is going: custom and architectural ceramic work is the long vision for GOODYNUF — objects designed with intention, documented with care, made by hand.
