Graphic Design

For the past 15 years, I've loved seeing visual communication techniques, tools, and trends evolve. My graphic design experience includes:
  • Traditional brochures and collateral materials.
  • Digital and print advertising.
  • Digital and print invitations.
  • Social media and web graphics.
  • Event signage.
  • Decals and other non-traditional applications.


Logo Design

DJs and dentistry and otters, oh my! How fun it has been to work with such varied brands - from tree services to personal coaching. In my logo work, I've used techniques ranging from digital illustration to classic vector work to custom watercolor. 


Photography

My photography and photo editing experience includes:
  • Brand photography.
  • Portrait and studio photography.
  • Travel and street photography.
  • Extensive photo editing in Photoshop and Lightroom, using both manual and AI-enhanced techniques.

Alt Couture
Indy's Alternative Fashion Magazine

Note: While this project is admittedly from college (many moons ago), I like to keep it to keep myself humble, and also remind myself that creativity in the service of a mission is powerful.

Although I have always been interested in both fashion and the magazine industry, this project truly stemmed from my research into global working conditions and how outsourced, unfair labor produces most of our fashion. I started wondering: what if we spent an equal amount of time considering how to make a statement about ourselves with where our clothing comes from? This question is the driving force behind Alt Couture. I created trendy outfits from clothing purchased at thrift shops for a fashion photo shoot, interviewed local shop owners who sell fair-trade and socially responsible fashions, and put it all together in this magazine.
