Tacoma on the Go (previously Downtown on the Go) is a transportation resource for Tacoma commuters, businesses, and residents. Side x Side Creative developed the campaign's visual identity and produced a vibrant series of graphics, including this poster, built around whimsical illustrations by Sean Alexander, highlighting DOTG's ongoing series of forums, events, and activities. The identity and materials developed for this campaign have remained in active use by the organization for several years.
“Mary’s design was integral to conveying our message in a simple way, and it helped us move our goals forward.”

TAPCO Credit Union wanted to create an eye-catching series of postcards for their newer branches that highlighted their local focus, high ratings, and expertise in the financial field. This location-variant direct mail postcard system was designed using the organization’s existing brand guidelines and applied consistently across multiple branch locations (Bonney Lake, Frederickson, Gig Harbor).
Each postcard combines branded messaging, local photography, custom maps, and QR-code driven calls to action within a single reusable template, allowing new locations to be added while maintaining full brand consistency. Copywriting for the piece was also provided by Side x Side Creative.
