I was hired as a freelance photographer in Cedar Grove, NJ for Vue Magazine before I would later end up as their junior designer the following year. I ended up attending two of their luxury events as featured in their magazine! The bottom two are some of my favorites from my ongoing collge portfolio.

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.

A passion project of mine has been in the works since 2018, when I realized just how much I loved 2000s culture. Back then, it wasn’t as widely appreciated, and many people couldn’t quite tell the difference between the 2000s and today. So, I did what the internet does best and found a community of people who shared this interest. I created a 2000s-themed mood board Instagram account, @retro2000s, where I started posting and engaging with other 2000s-focused accounts. Over the years, the account has grown to over 9600 followers and developed a loyal following. It’s even been cited in multiple articles internationally, solidifying its influence in the 2000s nostalgia movement. In 2020, A highlight of the account occurred when I created the "You Better Vote Bitch" graphic to encourage voter participation. The design went viral during multiple elections, shared by accounts with millions of followers. Looking back, this project not only fueled my passion for design and marketing but also helped shape my career path, blending business marketing and design—an intersection I’m now studying and pursuing professionally. What began as a personal interest in 2000s culture has evolved into a defining part of my creative journey.

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.

Creating designs where art and music come together is my favorite part of being a graphic designer. I've had the opportunity to work with several emerging artists, each bringing their own unique ideas and challenges. In January 2025, Walter Miller gave me full creative control to design promotional materials for his upcoming album, University View. This project was incredibly inspiring, and I’m excited about the possibility of collaborating with him again. My first ventures into album design were for Nicholas Hollywood Tetreault and Brittany Crandol. Seeing my work on major streaming platforms was a surreal and unforgettable moment. That feeling continues to drive my passion as I take on new projects, with more album art releases on the horizon!

The following is my own personal branding. I have spent so much time perfecting my brand, knowing that as a designer it is so important and representative of my artistry. I created something that I am truly proud of. I made sure to keep it simple, with a pretty strict color scheme and not many varying symbols. Little details like the "r" in Brody and the "L" in Lyons connecting as one transformed my name into not just a name, but a logo.​​​​​​​

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.

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.

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 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!
