Industry Experience

    uniE621 Typography Exploration
    Personal work in which I explore a variety of typographic skills and techniques to develop a unique type treatment or logo. Through this self-guided exploration I am able to gain knowledge on skills and information I was previously unfamiliar with. Projects like these excite me as there is always room for growth and learning - especially as a designer. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer typography exploration
    uniE621 Poster Design Exploration
    One aspect of design I am extremely enthusiastic about is Poster Design. I take any opportunity I get to explore my abilities when designing posters and it helps build new and existing skills that I can continue to utilize in future projects. In this specific poster, I looked at calling back to the 2000s style with some fun splashes of funky type and unique imagery. graphicdesigner illustrator designer photoshop posterdesign
    uniE621 Home of Champions Rodeo Posters
    Home of Champions Rodeo is a beloved summer event for Red Lodge, a small rural community in Montana. For this project, I looked toward the aspects that attracted people to the rodeo to base my decisions on something that would encourage them to attend. I decided that the opposition and badassery of rodeos were some of the main appeals I could utilize while developing the posters. The final result is two differently styled posters that visualize the previously mentioned themes to promote the rodeo. graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
    uniE621 DCSD Legacy Campus Pathway Logos
    I had the pleasure of working with the pathway coordinators at the Douglas County School District Legacy Campus to develop unique and engaging logos that represent the nine educational pathways currently offered at the campus. With a recently developed brand identity, I utilized existing precedents and standards set by the DCSD Legacy Campus brand guidelines to ensure a cohesive body of work while still maintaining the requests of my nine distinct clients. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
    uniE621 ACC Space Institute Logo Solution
    While interning at Studio ACC, the newly developed Colorado Space Institute at ACC approached us with some ideas about conceptualizing a logo design. The logo exemplifies the core ideas of its one-of-a-kind program. With a focus on ground-based space industries, a telescope encapsulates the essence of looking up to space with wonder and curiosity. Moreover, students of all different majors and passions are encouraged to aim for their goals and aspirations with integration of space-related content across ACC departments. The logo is more than just a pretty design, it’s a promise to develop, support, and encourage space-minded individuals to reach for the stars. I also provided a T-Shirt mock that students in the program could use to represent the exciting program. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
    uniE621 Typographics Case Study
    Typographics is an annual event hosted in NYC that focuses on the role of type in the creative industry and where its future lies. In this case study, I focused on developing an identity for the 2024 event and integrating the new elements of the brand into various event-related applications. Due to the wide variety of branded applications used at an event like this, I used the wordmark as the overarching asset for the event identity. This decision not only makes for a more cohesive and dynamic identity but also brings the focus back to the main idea of the event - Typography within the design industry. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
