Hi! I am a graphic designer and illustrator with over ten years of background in fine arts and about the same in early childhood education.
Hi! I am a graphic designer and illustrator with over ten years of background in fine arts and about the same in early childhood education.
With my expertise in editorial design, branding, as well as illustration, I aim to combine creativity with thoughtful problem-solving to create work that is both visually striking and designed with purpose.
Inspired by the iconic Cincinnati marathon, I rebranded the Flying Pig, This project focuses on combining the culture and vibrant art of the city with the athleticism of the race. I created a custom font and visual style that combines the two in a professional but still very eye-catching and fun way.
CONCEPTUAL PROJECT
When tasked with creating an event and branding for a company of my creation, I created TODO. TODO is an apparel and accessories company for both dogs and their owners. However, unlike many clothing options marketed to girls and their furry best friends, TODO aims to create pieces that feel timeless and something you’d actually want to wear out of the house. Along with branding I created a “paw up” in the park, offering first looks at the new fall collection as well as free portraits.
Welcome to Banu, a low-stimulation storytelling app for children. Banu focuses on sharing cultures and telling the stories that are becoming banned in American classrooms. While that may sound intense for young children, these subjects are far from scary and told through characters that they can connect to with the goal of creating more critical thinking and empathy in the next generation.
Helped lead a team of 10 young artists as we painted the “North Avondale Heroes” mural, a vibrant 100ft mural dedicated to local heroes and located on the side of a historic building.
Worked with a group of young artists brought together by V2 to create “Sacred Heirlooms.” In the exhibition, I created sewn and hand drawn depictions of my childhood.
