This collection showcases a wide range of creative exploration - from surreal photo manipulations and vintage recolorings to fashion CADs, packaging concepts, and graphic experiments. Each project reflects my ability to interpret, transform, and reimagine visuals across disciplines.
Here’s where I play with color, type, and layout to bring ideas to life. From branding projects to digital illustrations, this page is a mix of clean design and creative experiments. I love making visuals that feel fresh, fun, and thoughtful - whether it’s a logo, a poster, or something totally unexpected.
This section showcases my approach to organizing visual content with clarity and impact. From magazine spreads and book covers to flyers, business cards, and presentations, I focus on creating layouts that are both functional and visually compelling. Each project is designed with intention - balancing typography, imagery, and space to guide the viewer’s experience.
BRANDING & IDENTITY

Stickers
Formerly Living Bread, this sourdough brand wanted an identity that felt warm, grounded, and full of life. I rebranded it as flourish - a name that plays on “flour” and the idea of growth. The visuals reflect care, creativity, and soulful ritual, with earthy tones and a logo that rises with intention. Designed to grow with the brand, the identity leaves space to expand into wellness and lifestyle beyond bread.
Peak Performance Hockey Academy - Social Media Branding
I created a unified brand identity for Peak Performance Hockey Academy, including Instagram assets like a custom profile picture and highlight covers. I design promotional flyers for clinics and camps, and apply the branding across their Instagram profile to improve engagement and visibility. I also help to create and manage social media posts - including stories and reels- to maintain consistent brand DNA across all content.

Second Tuesday - CD Branding
Second Tuesday is a local band with old souls and fresh energy. I designed the branding for their debut CD and jewel case, mixing nostalgic vibes with playful visuals. The identity leans into storytelling, friendship, and the kind of music that feels like a late-night drive. From the cover to the disc, everything was made to feel personal, a little scrappy, and totally ready to grow with the band’s journey.

Print & Layout Projects
A mix of print and layout projects that explore different formats, styles, and design goals. From book covers and business cards to flyers and pamphlets, this section highlights my hands-on approach to visual communication - each piece a mini design experiment of its own across different platforms & softwares (Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop & Canva).

Roundtrip Magazine Layout
Created in InDesign as my final project for a senior-year Layout & Design course, Roundtrip is a fictional travel magazine built entirely from scratch. I designed every page using my own photography and image manipulation, focusing on layout, composition, and visual balance. I even left space for ads - because every good travel mag needs a little la dolce vita (and maybe a perfume ad or two).
Editorial Spreads
Presentation Decks
A selection of presentation layouts created for both academic and professional settings. From an omni-channel launch plan for The Mayfair Group, to a market analysis for my internship, to a trend forecasting deck for Spring/Summer 2027 viewed by 50+ global brands - each one reflects how I apply my creative eye to a wide range of topics and audiences.
Madison 88 Website Layout Guide
This layout was created as a visual blueprint for web developers during the redesign of the Madison 88 website. I mapped out the full site structure - including homepage, About, Services, Projects, and Contact pages - focusing on content hierarchy, navigation, and visual clarity. The goal was to entice new brand partners to work with Madison 88, and within just 24 hours of launch, the site received multiple contact form inquiries from potential collaborators - proving the power of thoughtful design in driving business growth.

Surreal Landscapes: A Journey Through Imaginary Worlds
These photomontages were created in Adobe Photoshop across various courses, each with a shared goal: to build imaginary worlds from fragments of my own photography. By collaging multiple scenes into one, I explore surreal compositions that blur the line between real and invented environments.

Composed from personal snapshots - from the beaches of Spain and the Jersey Shore to boats circling Capri - this scene blends real memories into an imagined world.
Imaginative landscapes built from my own travel photography - red rocks at Garden of the Gods, a playful nod to The Beverly Hills Hotel and architecture from The Broadmoor resort - mostly captured during my first visit to Colorado, years before I knew I’d live here.

Given the challenge to reimagine a photo from my camera roll, I transformed a restaurant view into an underground swim lane observation deck.
Breathing New Life into the Past
Original Photo
These projects challenged me to reimagine old photographs through color. Using Adobe Photoshop, one image was recolored to reflect modern-day tones, while the other was transformed from black and white using imaginative color choices and visual understanding - bringing forgotten moments into a more relatable, contemporary light.

Colorized a vintage photo of my grandmother with Paul Anka - her lifelong crush. A little Puppy Love and a lot of color brought this moment back to life.

I enjoyed interpreting this black-and-white photo as my own - adding color, texture, and small details like dirt under fingernails and redness in the eyes to make the moment feel more alive.

Geometric Self Portraits: Identity Through Form & Color
Tasked with creating a self-portrait using only one geometric shape in a pair of complementary colors, with a not-so-subtle pop color. I navigated strict rules (no touching shapes, only size variation) and took two different approaches with one artwork being more realistic, while the other remains more abstract.

J Card Packaging Designs
Columbia Sportswear F26 Holiday Packaging & Accessories Design
An example of my design capabilities across packaging, CAD development, and graphic pattern creation, this project was developed for Columbia Sportswear - a globally recognized brand. It features festive J-card packaging concepts (my favorite being the playful bow detail), CADs presented for internal review, and SMS-stage samples of the beanie and mitten gift set. The work reflects my ability to bring seasonal product stories to life through thoughtful presentation and brand appropriate design.

Final CAD Collection - Digital Design I
Inspired by the story of an art student studying abroad, this final collection explores expressive silhouettes, playful layering, and bold pattern mixing. Created for my Digital Design I class, the project also reflects my growth in technical skills - learning how to build garments, trims, and textile patterns in Adobe Illustrator, complete with shading and detail work to bring each look to life.
Patch & Trim CADs
Discovered within my first month at Madison 88: a hidden knack for designing trims and patches that go beyond 2D - adding depth, texture, and personality to product concepts. From suede and silicone to rubber, woven, clip labels, and technical patches, I’ve explored a wide range of materials using Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator. These CADs serve as the final touches that have become a key part of our virtual development process, offering a more sustainable alternative to physical samples and supporting virtual proto & SMS requests with a personal, branded touch.
MPorium Merchandise Design - Marist College
While serving as Director of Events and Community Outreach for MPorium, Marist College’s student-run boutique, I stepped in to design exclusive merchandise - including the senior drop for my class and broader store offerings. The goal was to create fun, fresh Marist merch that couldn’t be found at the traditional bookstore - bringing energy and originality to campus retail through collaborative design.
Designed an exclusive sweatshirt and t-shirt drop for Marist’s senior class of ’23 - created as a keepsake to celebrate graduation, with bold graphics and fonts that made it more than just merch.

Pencil Shavings Display Font
My first-ever typeface design, this experimental display font was crafted entirely from pencil shavings - transforming a familiar material into expressive, textured letterforms. Each character was shaped by hand, exploring a playful, alphabet ideal for bold headlines and creative branding.
