As a recent graduate of the Art Institute of Washington, graphic design was a career I fell into by chance, but came to love as soon as I got knee deep in my first design project. I have experience in print, branding, a keen eye for typography and a newfound knack for HTML & CSS.
Currently, I work at Real Magnet as an e-newsletter designer, but I am also available for freelance work. To discuss a project or to simply to say "hello" please contact me.
This airport signage was developed for the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in San Francisco, California. A cherrywood and metal-like finish was chosen to mimic the renovation plans for terminals 1 and 2, which feature exposed architectural elements, cherrywood paneling, stainless steel and clean, modern lines. To contrast with the architectural elements a corporate blue was integrated with abstract, repeated shapes. Overlapping elements and cutouts allow the textures and colors to interact with each other and make for a cohesive but dynamic presentation.
As part of a multi-faceted, collaborative project, this collateral piece was designed for following the rebranding of this professional theatre. To follow the theme, abstract shapes to represent spotlights were used with handwriting fonts and bold, rich colors in this summer gala invitation. The background texture of the invitation was created using the names of plays from the 2010 season.
To promote the Art Institute’s collaboration with the OptimalResume.com, a job and resume training resource for students, a bookmark was created as a giveaway to students. Bold colors and eye-catching graphics were used to draw attention to the information on the bookmark, while keeping the overall design clean and easy to digest.
As a call-to-action on the topic of dating abuse and violence a poster was created using only wood type fonts. Short, easily read facts, phrases and words relating to the subject become the centerpiece in this poster. By adjusting the size, tracking and spacing of certain lines of text, hierarchy is brought into the piece which allows the viewer to focus on sections at a time.
Experimental rebranding. 40 years of pbs. New logo represents what people thing of now when they think “telelvision” as well as an reference to PBS’s award winning online presence.
With the rebranding of this sorority, the goal was to reflect their member base of strong, professional woman. By choosing a modern serif we were able to include the younger generation of sorority members while still referencing what the sorority stand for. The rose, a symbol of the parent sorority Iota Phi Lambda, was simplified to fit the look of the new branding.
