Artist and Graphic Designer
I'm a designer, motion graphics artist, and illustrator. I bring a critical eye for detail to any project I take part in, and strive to maintain the authenticity of whatever I work on. Currently I am working on a design project for AFK XP, and am learning
Adobe After Effects and Figma.
Projects
AFK is a bar and recreational technology center that offers a space and game console setups to host group gatherings, from small social outings to large parties and tournaments.
I designed a new logo for the Campbell company to better fit the aesthetic of the entertainment they offer and the culture and atmosphere inside the location.
Nexum is a company concept I created with a group of classmates to educate people on their local water sources and help them foster a stronger connection with their environment and local ecosystem.
This project depended on designing a brand and formulating how it would look. In addition to helping iterate the brand design, I created the iconography and the mission plan for the company.
I designed a booklet featuring all of my projects from my senior Design course.
By experimenting with a loose grid structure and some simple drawings, I was able to achieve a unique look that combined a modernist design feel with free,
informal illustration.
This is a brochure I designed in a short period showcasing Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. My goal was to highlight the World Heritage Site's unique value and advertise it as a travel destination, while also emphasizing the significance it has to the environment and local population, both human and wildlife.
In this video I demonstrate how to create an organic decorative pattern using watercolor on Bristol paper. The goal in this project was to produce a video tutorial that would garner attention to an important issue regarding one of the materials used.
Designing thumbnail icons is a unique process, because even though most use vector graphics today, care must be taken to make sure they are simple yet unique enough to be easily recognizable at a low resolution.
The project was to create a pixel icon of my own portrait, which required a iterative design process.
