In my Intro to Sculpture course, our first assignment was to create a small sculpture using found objects. Examples included sticks on rocks, stacked spoons on stools, and traditional household items. Instead of following those examples, I chose to create a sculpture that told the story of what a specific person may have left behind. I was pleased with the result, and it received positive feedback online. I later used my Photoshop skills to turn the sculpture into album art for an artist, and someone has now asked to use it for their next single.

I created this project to show diversity in my portfolio. Obviously, I am no stranger to color or excitement in design. I wanted to create something classic, marketable to the masses, sleek and simple.

For this piece, I wanted to feature something that displayed my more creative, right brained, and artistic side. For one of my OCC classes, we were encouraged to make self portraits with a scribble pattern incorporated, and I absolutely went for it. This was at a time where I had worked on my own face for so long in the original portrait, and I had grown so sick of my own face. This messy, chaotic piece represents the beauty in the chaos, and I am so proud of it. It is a true outlier in my work, which is typically clean and concise.

This project is like a caricature of my own personal style. I am so inspired by the media of the early 2000s, and in this cover I wanted to articulate that. Using edgy photography, creative typography, vivid color and alternating effects, I created an exciting magazine cover that I knew would succeed at drawing people in.

In this design, I have exercised simple graphic design principles to create a marketable product. I utilized simple design concepts I practiced in my business card design, while also attempting mastering packing design.

For this exercise, I wanted to put skill and effort towards mastering the art of a single cover. I think single covers are some of the most underrated ways in promoting a song and giving its audience a taste of what is being sold. So often I feel that a single cover doesn't match the integrity that the single itself does. In this instance, I took a few songs that I am very familiar with, and decided to reimagine their single covers. I am in no way insinuating their originals are not great in any way! I just wanted to put my own twist on these songs that I love!

One of my favorite mediums of graphic design is all of the detail that goes into CD design. Not just album covers, but all of the intricacies of a CD. I have redone one of my favorite songs’ CD single; Ex Girlfriend by No Doubt. I did my best to keep the band’s integrity as well as my own personal style, and I am proud of the result.

For this project, I wanted to display my skill in Page Layout, attention to detail, and ability to reference already-existing design. This cover is a parody of 2000s tabloids such as Star Magazine, People, or Us Weekly. I had a little bit of fun getting fake paparazzi photos taken as if I was a celebrity, and I completely played with my imagination creating a fake cover for myself. I spent time researching popular fonts and color schemes used in tabloids, and I think this looks spot on to its influences.

Ruby Rios, a rising makeup artist in New York City, requested this logo. She desired a modern, playful, sleek, and nostalgic look all rolled into one. Although it presented a challenge, the logo has proven to be a successful asset to her career thus far. She requested different variants, and ended up choosing the first two commercially.

This is a project I completed seen as a rebrand for a restaurant in my hometown I was sad to see close. I believe branding in every way can modernize a restaurant more than anything. Designed complely by myself, I have featured a social media concept, two double-sided menus, and packaging for takeout customers. I believe this is a great addition to my portfolio as it shows my eye for what is modern, while showcasing design skills very different than some of my other work.
