    uniE621 Credit Card Balance Transfer - Full Campain
    These are the assets I designed as part of a full promotional campaign for VFCU for 2026. It includes small posters, buckslips, print ads, digital ads, online banking ads, online banking app ads, radio spots, and a short in-branch video displayed on our smart TV system. This promotion runs for three months, so I like to create a bit of visual variety, while still maintaining a consistent overall look. I won a CUNA Diamond Award with this campaign previously in 2025.…
    uniE621 Print Ad Design
    This is just one of the many print ads I designed while working for a local newspaper. Most of these ads were incredibly outdated and the client requested a custom re-design. I loved the variety of ads I was able to bring back to life, and the clients were all very pleased with the results. I oftentimes took a moment each week to join the pressman and do press checks, with the goal of making sure everything was printing as desired, and also to learn from them as much as possible.…
    uniE621 Large Brand Poster Collective
    One of the very first projects I was asked to work on was creating a series of large posters (including developing the taglines on the posters) that would be displayed in all of our branches. This is where I started really taking VFCU in the direction of more emotive, relatable imagery. The team absolutely loved it, and the members have given nothing but great feedback on them. My goal was really to capture the way our company operates in everything we do. We are all part of the community, and every single one of us believes that we can make a positive difference in the world around us. The entire set is a set of 8 posters - two of which are standard branding. The rest I had fun playing with some purple color overlay and opaque copy on top. Please note: I would love to show all of the branding and marketing assets I have developed overall inside one of our branches, as that is truly the most cohesive way to see everything. Unfortunately, due to security risk I am not allowed to do so. I appreciate your understanding!…
    uniE621 Package Design - Luxury Skincare
    When I first started working for Tata Harper Skincare, they hired me on a freelance basis. This was the very first project they had me work on. This was a brand new kit and was quite the challenge to design. Tata herself wanted a design that was new and different, while also adhering to the brand standards. She wanted a playful, artistic, floral design. I must have created 20 different floral style patterns for her to choose from. I wanted to wow the consumer when they opened the box, so I decided to make it yellow, with the floral pattern continuing into the top of the inside. I chose to add a touch of luxury by finishing the embossing of the text on the front of the box with a spot metallic gold. The feedback from consumers was overhwelmingly positive! We posted about it prior to the launch on social media and people were very excited to get their hands on such a beautiful box. Our unboxing video was a hit as well. Sephora an Neiman Marcus had them flying off the shelves!…
    uniE621 Wine Label Design
    I was hired to create a label for a specialty wine for the Easton Wine Project. They make a point of hiring creatives from all over to contribute their unique artistic styles to their collection of locally-crafted wines. I wanted to combine a fine arts texture and medium for this project and clean it up so it still looks refined to consumers. I really enjoyed exploring watercolor more throughout this piece, and the client was very happy with the resulting label.…
    uniE621 Logo Design - VENM
    I was asked by a local organization, Vermont Area Ethical Nonmonogamy, to create an official logo for them to use across a broad range of media, but specifically for digital use. This is a alternative lifestyle community that I found interesting to learn about. Through working with them, I learned a lot about relationship styles, healthy boundaries, truly open communication, and how love can look very different than what the mainstream media feeds to us. The goal was to capture the simple beauty of the lifestyle and make the symbol for Polyamory stand out brightly against the dark silhouette of the globe. The different vector images show various parts of our Vermont community and different lifestyles, showing that ethically nonmonogamous people come from a broad range of backgrounds. This logo encompasses the inclusivity of the ENM/polyamorous community. It was a very eye-opening and fascinating project for me. I love learning about people, so it was fulfilling in a curios sense. It was definitely a unique one for the books!…
    uniE621 Annual Report Booklet
    This was the second annual report I've designed for Vermont Federal Credit Union in my position as their in-house graphic designer. This is a 20-page, full-color document highlighting the most pertinent information regarding community engagement, financial performance, goals and accomplishments all from 2023, and the values the company has as a cornerstone to their identity. I chose to utilize a brighter color scheme this year, utilizing the brand teal as a feature instead of the typical violet, especially since I wanted to use imagery that was reminiscent of our "green mountains," along with our beautiful Lake Champlain. I had fun using vector-based imagery to compliment what could otherwise be a "boring" document. For printing finishes, I played with light embossing in various places on the front cover, and I had a spot gloss used throughout the inside spreads.…
