Hello! Welcome to my portfolio. Below are collections of my work.
During my time at the Wheaton College Bookstore and Copy Center, I created digital slides to inform and advertise to customers who visited our store. The slides included store hours, events, and sales, as well as highlighted merchandise available for purchase. I incorporated lots of my own photography into these slides—there are two exceptions in this collection, noted below the slide itself. The slides were displayed on two 32” TVs in the store.
This sale was inspired by the movie It’s a Wonderful Life.

Designing this sale was fun — I used Illustrator to create “Reading Day” in the same style as "Mario Kart.”

While photography has become primarily a hobby. I did take several photography courses in school so I have formal training and experience with digital and film cameras, including film development in a dark room.
Below you’ll mostly find photos I’ve taken on my travels, but as shown with the bookstore lookbook project and some of the digital slides I created, I tend to use my eye for photography for on-the-job projects.

I served as the Art Director of my university’s newspaper, the Asbury Collegian, during my senior year of college. This is just a small selection of the spreads I laid out (photography by other students on the Collegian staff). Read more about my experience with the Collegian here.
Also, read the first and last article I wrote for the paper here.

During my senior year of college, I worked on the team responsible for producing the University’s annual film festival. As the Creative Director of the design team, I spent the four months leading up to Highbridge 2016 branding the event. Our three person team designed all of the print and digital pieces to make the event a success. Read more about my experience with the festival here.
The Highbridge Film Festival exists to inspire, promote and support creative storytelling for young people around the world who still have more stories to tell. It attracts 1200+ people from the area and beyond every year. Learn more about the festival and what it means to the Wilmore community here.
The Wheaton College Bookstore wanted to showcase some of their higher-end merchandise. We decided to create a booklet that we could include in all our shipments to customers. I gathered the items to photograph them, then designed and produced the booklet itself.
The bones of the Perry Mastodon were discovered in Glen Ellyn, IL in 1963. Wheaton College professors were invited to excavate, restore, and display the incredible find. Ever since, it’s been a mascot for Wheaton students and a treasure for the community. I created this t-shirt design for sale in the bookstore. Its sales garnered a second run in two additional colors.
Sometimes my creativity takes me to places other than graphic design. Here are a few examples.
I grew up creating knotted “friendship bracelets,” so I scaled up that experience to create this wall hanging out of cotton rope, roughly 4’ x 3’ . / fall 2018

A friend from college and I collaborated on twenty custom shot glasses for a New Year’s party with friends. / winter 2017
My dad started running again a couple years ago, so we wanted to celebrate and encourage him by wearing matching tees to his first 5k race. I began this process on paper, then digitized the design before sending the artwork to a shop for production. / fall 2017
On the evening of September 27, 2015, there was a total lunar eclipse visible from the town where I went to school. There was 100% cloud cover. Instead of seeing the eclipse, I baked these moons made out of clay. / fall 2015
Using only black construction paper on a white background, the assignment was to compose 4x4 inch squares to express twenty-one design terms’ meanings. Here’s a selection, as well as a few in which we were allowed to use color. / spring 2014
I had the chance to choose the medium for my final project in my 2D Form & Design class, so I decided to experiment with stop motion for the first time. It definitely gave me a new appreciation for stop motion filmmakers! / spring 2014
