Sparkle 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.
Free Donuts Post
I made this Instagram post for our St. Thomas Libraries page in 2025. There was free donuts at the library to celebrate the first week back of classes. I had to include some branding of the first week back logo in the bottom right. This was posted on our Instagram to invite and inform students of the event.
Spider-Man Movie Poster
I made this movie poster for Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse in 2024, for a Digital Media class assignment. I used Adobe Photoshop and images from the web to create this. Since the movie has this villain called "The Spot", I used his time-bending spots to showcase a few of the other characters. Just using his spots instead of the actual character causes "The Spot" to haunt the narrative, which was my intention.
Library Summer Hours Flyer
This is another marketing flyer I made at my job. This was for the summer of 2025 hours at the main library on campus at St. Thomas, and was posted on the front doors for the duration of the summer. This was made using Canva
Study Room Flyer
This flyer was made for work at my student intern job at the Libraries for the Keffer Library in Minneapolis. This was made for the study rooms on campus reminding students to clean up after themselves. The trash cans were located outside the study room and this often led students to leave it a mess. I made this flyer to direct them to where the trash cans and recycle bins were so this problem could be solved.
Flu Shot Clinic Post
This is an Instagram Post I made for my job at the St. Thomas Libraries. The post was created with the purpose to market a flu shot event happening at the main library on campus. It was posted about a week prior with details about how to schedule a time and where to go in the caption.
