GRAPHIC design portfolio
Department 24
Art Directed the Department 24 Graphic Design Showcase at the Manifest Urban Arts Festival, developing a grid based identity system that extended across exhibition, web, print, environmental graphics, and wayfinding. Rooted in foundational design principles and brought to life through cyanotype printed posters, the project established a bold, immersive visual language for the graduating class of Columbia College Chicago.
Float Balloon BAr
Led brand identity and art direction for Float Balloon Bar, crafting a bold, expressive visual system rooted in typography and playful form. Extended the identity across print, digital, and web, creating a cohesive, scalable brand experience across every touchpoint.
Wild Planet
Wild Planet is a pioneer in sustainable canned seafood. This rebrand shifts the focus toward the product itself, using illustration to highlight each fish and create a more engaging, product-driven identity, supported by art direction that emphasizes clarity, tactility, and a more expressive visual presence.
NCDA Conference
A conference branding system for NCDA 2026 focused on presentation design, social media, and event communications. Flowing water visuals reflect the theme Creative Resilience and Minneapolis’s identity as the “City of Water,” while accents of purple reference Prince and the city’s cultural legacy. The project demonstrates how a cohesive identity can scale across slide decks, promotional graphics, and conference materials.
‘Squiters Darkroom
‘Squiters Darkroom is a brand identity project for a Chicago-based analog photography darkroom built around community, experimentation, and the craft of film photography. The visual system includes a logo, mascot, typography, color palette, and photographic direction, all compiled into a comprehensive brand standards guide that demonstrates how the identity functions across stationery, posters, and promotional materials.
obscura
A set of 60 custom icons inspired by the physical tools and spaces of photography, including studio equipment, cameras, and darkroom materials. Built on a consistent grid, the system explores clarity, scalability, and visual cohesion.
This icon set is the foundation for an expanding project that will evolve into a full photography community brand, including a custom typeface, editorial publication, and event identity.
Step-Mother-In-Law
Step-Mother-In-Law is a music packaging design project exploring how visual elements from two distinct albums can merge into a new identity system. The project began by analyzing Betty Walker’s Hello Ceil, It’s Me!!! and The Best of Herman’s Hermits, deconstructing their typography, portraiture, and color palettes. Through experimentation with ligatures, object mashups, and line-drawn face merging, the project developed a set of symbols and graphics that function across the album package.
