Client: Katie Leard of Martha’s Vineyard Pasta
Description: Aly Miller was commissioned by Martha’s Vineyard Pasta to expand and refresh the brand’s logo and identity. Aly had the pleasure of developing a library of pasta illustrations, all based on photos shared by the pasta maker. The images were licensed as stickers and labels, and we chose one to be the hero image of her logo. The result was an arched logo, featuring Aly’s hand lettering, in multiple colorways. It was important to create images that could be used flexibly across Katie’s labels, allowing space for her hand written labels at times. The result is a colorful, totally unique brand identity that has hand-drawn illustrations to match the energy of her handmade pastas.
I created this inked illustration about my experience with a pharmaceutical injury. It resonated with my community, and was turned into a popular sticker by WhattheFlox.com to raise awareness for Fluroquinolone Toxicity. Below is what I wrote about my experience.
“For me, Fluroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome feels like hundreds of tiny car crashes happening inside the body, resulting in pain, tendon damage, and muscle loss. Over time, the crashes have become less massive, but I’m still waking up to pain in new places that could last hours to days.
Please be careful, friends. Trust your body and your intuition, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s all in your head.“

This logo was created for Justica en Salud (Justice in Health), a free clinic in Tijuana run by border midwives who offer holistic care to pregnant refugees and their children. I worked closely with midwives there to create this design, which features an illustration of an infant growing out of corn, surrounded by symbols of nature and herbal medicine. In indigenous mythology, corn represents the survival, resilience and growth of indigenous people and traditions, from which new life grows.
It was an honor to bring this logo into the world. It has since been printed on t-shirts, stickers, and prints to raise funds and awareness for the clinic. You can support their efforts with a teeshirt, found here!
