The following projects were created as part of my coursework in graphic design classes, as well as through freelance work and personal creative endeavors. Each piece showcases my ability to work across a variety of themes, styles, and design aesthetics. I invite you to explore the collection below to see how I approach different visual challenges and bring unique concepts to life through thoughtful design.
Migration Poster Series
Typographic Visual Narrative
A series of three posters exploring the theme of migration through expressive, research-based typography. Each piece reflects a different perspective—cultural, historical, or personal—while maintaining visual consistency through layout, type treatment, and composition. Minimal imagery was used to keep the focus on bold, dynamic type as the primary storytelling element.
Tools: InDesign, Illustrator, Procreate
Focus: Typography, Concept Development, Visual Consistency
USMA Direct Mail Campaign
Client: U.S. Metric Association (USMA)
Designed a printed direct mail piece encouraging U.S. citizens to adopt the metric system in everyday life. The challenge was to communicate a factual yet engaging message to a broad audience—young and old—by highlighting the inefficiencies of the imperial system and the simplicity of metric. Through bold visuals and accessible language, the piece aimed to inform, entertain, and spark curiosity, while supporting a national movement toward metrication.
Focus: Print Design, Messaging Strategy, Audience Engagement
Deliverable: Printed & Mocked-Up Direct Mail Piece
Type Specimen Book
Exploration of Typography in Print
I designed a Type Specimen Book showcasing my understanding of typography through a focused theme. My book highlights the font Playfair Display, exploring its history, anatomy, font family, and design applications.
The layout integrates text, imagery, and color to create a visually engaging and informative experience. The book includes a cover design, table of contents, historical background, type anatomy, size variations, usage tips, and examples of type in context. Material choices and layout decisions were made to enhance the tactile and visual impact of the piece, resulting in a cohesive and creative reflection of my typographic skills.
Focus: Typography, Editorial Design, Print Production
Deliverable: 12+ Page Printed Type Specimen Book
Earth Day Magazine Design
Client: EARTHDAY.ORG
Developed a concept for the inaugural issue of a biannual print and digital magazine for Earth Day, designed to engage both existing supporters and a broader, untapped audience. The publication combines in-depth environmental content with lifestyle-oriented features—including infographics, personal success stories, and pop culture tie-ins—to create an informative, visually compelling, and inspiring experience that encourages year-round participation in the environmental movement.
Focus: Editorial Design, Environmental Storytelling, Print & Digital Publication
Deliverables: Print Layout, Digital Interactive Version, Concept Deck
My teacher in my digital imaging class in High School told me about a competition the Chicago Park District was holding for high school students to design a logo for the new run event they were starting.
I entered the competition with a few different designs I created in Procreate that followed their desired guidelines for the content of the logo. My design won the competition and after a month of collaborating with the graphic design team for the Chicago Park District, I made a few changes to the original design and ended up with this iteration being the final design.
The run event is annual and my logo design is still used to represent the event on promotional items and merchandise.
After my success with the 312 Logo design, I was approached by an upcoming competitive horse racing stable that needed a logo. They were impressed by my 312 Run logo and commissioned me to create some logo designs for them based on a few requirements.
After a month of collaboration, I sent the client a multitude of designs that I created on Procreate to choose from and they chose one they liked. I spent some time making various changes to the design until I reached the finalized design.
The stable still uses the logo I designed to represent them at competitive horse racing events on uniforms.
During my freshman year of college at Bradley University, one of my art professors recommended me to some friends who were starting a not-for-profit organization.
They needed someone to design flyers and yard signs for their events. They loved my designs so much that they began asking me to do all of their marketing materials such as flyers, posters, banners, yard signs, presentations, etc.
I also collaborated with them to design a website to gain awareness for the social problem they’re trying to solve.
