For Hereford House, which was a restaurant that was more casual than Pierpont’s I wanted to create a specialty menu design for Valentine’s Day that was more natural, easy, and organic. I used curved lines, classic heart shapes, muted pinks, and typography to make a menu that was easily read while pleasing to look at.

I was asked to rebrand Tiffany’s personal logo while also showing her how to use her new assets with a simple style guide. She is a UX Researcher and Ph.D. candidate and requested that I create her new brand from her personal (creative, colorful, handwritten, inspired by modern Japanese art aesthetic from her time living abroad) and professional experiences.

For this graphic, I created a digital ad for Instagram’s stories. I sized an image I photographed with hierarchy and typography on a composite background, along with copy that pertained to the competition we were entering.

Continuing with my digital drawing skills, I made this after New Year’s. Many people, including myself, have suffered substantial personal tragedies in 2020, and just because the clock strikes midnight doesn’t change the fact that we are still suffering a worldwide pandemic. The graphic I created was inspired by the fictional TV show featured in MTV’s Daria titled Sick, Sad World. Mostly, I wanted a reason to use this horror-themed typeface.

During the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine, I have been utilizing my time at home learning how to draw on paper and translating those skills into a digital space. This is my most recent print in a series of plants I plan to draw. I love the simplicity of the illustration, the muted yet retro color palette, and the texture of the entire graphic. All of these elements give a very pleasant and calm feeling to the print.

Because New Year’s Eve is often associated with decadence and sophisticated parties I wanted to make sure this menu was more Gatsby Art Deco to recognize the change to 2020 and reflect 1920’s design.

Something that I made for myself during the days of the ongoing 2020 Presidental Election. I wanted to create a graphic for my own social media profile that gave me practice illustrating my own images, utilizing bright fun colors, and script typography (something I rarely use because I tend to stick to modern san serifs). I wanted this graphic to be light and fun with a bit of a retro feel.

In honor of National Vision Board Day, I created a vision board graphic to use for posting to the Donutology social media channels. The design utilized photos that I have taken in the last few months that had complementary color combinations and the Donutology brand guidelines and assets such as the chalkboard, and drawings used on the chalkboard. The polaroid outlines and tape were created by me.

I was asked to redesign and create a cleaner look to the previous DeepDyve Digital Library document. The catch was I would need to create the documents entirely in Google Slides so the company could easily update text and information to the document after the design process was complete. I utilized their brand colors, typography, and created the header from a stock image and color overlay. I designed everything within a grid to keep it modular and clean.

During my time with Pierpont’s and Hereford House, I redesigned their marketing email templates fully. For Pierpont’s, which was located inside the historic Union Station and was designed and built during the 1920s-1930s. I decided to reflect on this location within the new designs. I also wanted to acknowledge that 2020 was around the corner, so I designed all the new marketing emails and specialty menus to reference Art Nouveau and Art Deco design practices, typography, and colors.
