Self Portrait Postcard
The objective of this project was to create and incorporate a vector self portrait into a post card (5 x 7 in) design to send to friends, relatives, and elderly care homes to inspire hope during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bauhaus Poster Design
The objective of this project was to create a series of Bauhaus-inspired posters (11x17") incorporating the quote "What you seek, seeks you." These posters achieve the Bauhaus style by using the three primary colors, basic geometric shapes, and halftone black and white images.
Golf Posters – Set of Three
I designed these posters (18 x 24'") as a Christmas gift for my brother who is a professional golfer. I experimented with typography and golf terminology to create unique and dynamic designs that can hang on the wall of his new apartment.

Tranquility Wellness Center Logo Design
The Tranquility Wellness Center is a fictitious company run by theoretical professionals who go deep within to the root cause of dis-ease in the body. As someone who believes that overall wellbeing is found at the intersection between mental and physical health, I felt a profound connection to this business and mission.
Research Methods Poster Design
I designed this poster (22 x 34") at the conclusion of my Research Methods and Statistics class to display the findings from the study I conducted through the course of the semester. My study looked into the relationship between meditation, daily social media use, and the wellbeing of college students.

Surreal Album Cover
The objective of this project was to create a surreal album cover by layering images in Photoshop including a photo of ourselves. I wanted to create a fun take on my experience of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. I tried to juxtapose the bright and happy colors that illustrate my positive attitude in contrast with the loneliness of often trying to keep my own self company. ​​​​​​​
Cover Art for Grace Ganz
Grace Ganz is an up and coming singer-songwriter based out of Denver, Colorado with songs streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. I designed the cover art for "Fever Dream" with specific emphasis on trying to visually capture the essence of the song using a 35mm film photo I took last summer. The second cover art for "Santa Barbara Lullaby" features Grace on a beach in the song's namesake with the title in her own handwriting to give the piece a personal touch.
Multi-exposure – Fixation
The objective of this project was to create three variations of multi-exposure piece in Photoshop based off of a single word and its definition. This project involved masking and layering in Photoshop as well as creating cohesion in its composition and typography. I took photos of myself from different angles with my eyes all “fixated” in one direction to best embody the message of the word itself.
Girl on Fire
The requirements for this project were to combine a self-silhouette along with images of nature coming in and out of the silhouette. I have always loved Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” and thus drew inspiration for my project from the song.
Collage-Style Puzzle Design
I designed this 1000-piece puzzle (18 x 24") as a gift for a friend's birthday. It includes half-tone black and white images masked in photoshop and a compilation of the prints from garments sold at the store Reformation where she works.
A Garden of Typography
I created an educational booklet pairing the different type classifications with vegetables that my mom grows in her garden. In this booklet, the left side of the spread always includes the history, application, examples, century, alphabet, and anatomy of each given type categorization. The right side is more fluid in its content sometimes including varieties and garden tips while always identifying the vegetable pairing and a recipe that features said vegetable. This project was especially meaningful to work on as it combines my passion for graphic design and my mom's passion for gardening into one book.
Newsletter-Style Portfolio
This newsletter was composed as the final project for Intro to Graphic Design at Georgetown University. This portfolio includes all the projects I completed throughout the semester as well as some additional projects I undertook on my own.
Bossier Magazine Spreads
Bossier is a Georgetown University submission based magazine. As a member of their layout team, I design magazine spreads with full creative control combining one visual art submission with one written submission.
