branding / extrude-o-matic

This design balances bold retro typography and mid-century color schemes with a clean, contemporary layout; bridging nostalgia and modernity to create a cohesive visual identity that stands out in a competitive marketplace.

big ideas learning

Creative design work developed for Big Ideas Learning, a leading K-12 math curriculum publisher. As part of an in-house design team, I led a wide range of print and digital projects, including page layouts, cover designs, infographics, and UI design. Each project started with a focus on visual clarity and accessibility, supporting student comprehension while maintaining alignment with curriculum standards.

ui design / scoop

Mobile app concept designed around how users find and revisit their favorite ice cream spots. This project explored the end-to-end UI/UX process: from user research and wireframing, through high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes executed in Adobe XD and Figma.

branding / ranchero

Conceptual branding and packaging design for a hot sauce brand. The identity combines bold visuals and layered textures to create a tactile, handcrafted quality, while maintaining a clean and approachable aesthetic.

branding / winefest

Logo concepts for WineFest, an annual local wine festival held in North East, PA. These designs aimed to balance clean lines with playful elements to reflect the spirit of community and celebration. By combining lively typography with themed iconography, the logo was created to be versatile enough for use across signage, merchandise, and promotional materials.

editorial design / breakfast is best

A minimalist cookbook built around clean typography, structured grid layouts, and crisp vector illustrations. The goal was to let the design feel intentional without being overworked, organized enough to guide the reader through recipes effortlessly, while still leaving room for the food to do the talking.

poster design / single use sucks

A series of graphic posters designed to highlight key issues within the personal care industry, from the gendered marketing of everyday products, to the environmental impact of excessive plastic packaging. Using bold visuals and intentional design to spark conversation and challenge industry norms.

exploration / cut paste

A series of analog and digital collages built around the concept of creative constraints. Each composition is guided by a set of minor parameters or obstructions: prompts generated through a random word and phrase generator. The series explores how restriction can push the design process in directions that are spontaneous and experimental.
Inspired by Mitch Goldstein’s Obstructions project.

poster design / misc

Miscellaneous projects - with design fundamentals.

pixelations

A series of 64 x 64 pixel grid compositions, inspired by needlework and textile art. Challenging the divide between a traditional tactile process, and systematic structured design.

illustrations

Digital artwork utilizing a range of techniques, brush strokes, and styles.

product design

Concept development and creation of vector based designs, that are able to be produced into 3D printed items. Manufactured and sold by extrude-o-matic.
