Sparkle Soda Can Design
This is a project I was assigned for my Graphic Design class in the Fall of 2024. We were given a choice of a product template from Photoshop and I chose to go with a can design.
I really like this retro-minimalist style of design so that's what I incorporated into my company's aesthetics.
The American Dream Poster
This is definitely a different aesthetic than the rest of my work I've done, but I was inspired so I ran with it. It's open to your interpretation but it's obviously my play at some symbolism of how hypocritical America can be. I feel passionately about this topic so I whipped this up quickly one night when I was feeling ambitious. The image was taken by Tom Coe, and downloaded from copyright free image site; Unsplash.
Cosmic Artware Case Study
Cosmic Artware is a window cling and art company that I was asked to create a new logo for. I also took some time to create a business card, a black and white logo, and a new insert for the actual window clings. It was interesting to create a logo from scratch and I learned a lot about what I can accomplish if given the time and confidence to do so.

Noah Kahan Lyrics Poster
I was inspired to make this poster by the one and only, Noah Kahan, and his ingenious song lyrics. His music has always spoken to me and he has secured his place as on of my favorite artists over the past few years. I created this poster using some of his lyrics using the comparison between lightness and darkness.

New York City Poster
I have always adored New York City and so I wanted to make a poster that sort of embraced its aesthetic. I found this beautiful photo on Unsplash (copyright free image site), by Malte Schmidt, and ran with a design I imagined in my mind.
Sticky Strawberries Album Poster
I made this poster in the summer of 2023 for one of my Coursera Graphic Design Certificate classes. I was just barely starting out with Adobe at the time so this was a lot of trial, error, and frustration over why I couldn't find the right things in Illustrator. In the end I learned a lot about both Adobe and my style of design.
The Cozy Tea Room Logo
This was another mock company I made to practice my design skills, called "The Cozy Tea Room". The idea behind it is that it would be similar to a coffee shop's vibe, where you can order a drink and then sit down and study/work, but instead of coffee they would mainly serve tea, (and yes, maybe some coffee). I wanted the company's aesthetic to feel cozy and cute and have lots of plants incorporated into the designs.
AEJMC Logo Contest
In the first semester of my junior year, I was assigned a project in my graphic design class to make a logo for the AEJMC conference. This upcoming year it will be hosted in New Orleans, so we had to theme it to the city. I had a few ideas but landed on this saxophone idea. It was fun, and my first experience being taught Adobe in a classroom setting!
Mock Music Festival Poster
This was a mock poster I made for a hypothetical music festival in the Twin Cities. I had this idea because I saw a few visually pleasing music festival posters on Pinterest, but also because I think St.Paul/Minneapolis should have more live music festivals.
