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.

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.

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.

This is one of the most time-consuming challenging works I have created. I wanted to create a menu remodel for a restaurant, and I took the ultimate challenge by picking a sushi restaurant with an overwhelming abundance of items. I was inspired by the bright, fun colors of 90s Harajuku culture, a perfect match for a youthful, fun Japanese restaurant. I did my best to keep things bright and exciting, without compromising readability and functionality. I ended up pitching this design to Fuji 72, and while it was not the financial decision best for them at the time, it taught me how designing is not only about profit but growth.

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.

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.

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!

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 8,000 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.

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.

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.​​​​​​​
