About

I’m a graphic designer based in MA.

Currently working as a freelance artist. Previously worked with a Community Center in Boston. I help teams visually represent their ideas and bring concepts to life as products and brands.

My Work

Work

Hot Sauce - Package Design

I developed a packaging design for a hot sauce themed around insects. I created sketches for the logo and then chose a color palette. After researching the product item, I used Adobe Illustrator to create a custom barcode and unified everything. 

Magazine Layout - Publication Design

I developed a magazine spread involving themes of masculinity. I gathered the photos of the model and took to photoshop to enhance the images. Then used InDesign and Illustrator to handle typography and layout. I also created a baby shower invitation for a client in the same way. 

Flyers - Advertising Design

During my time working in the community center, I created a series of flyers for a variety of programs. I also created a flyer for a summer program that helped grow enrollment.   

T - Shirts - Apparel Design

My university, Bridgewater State, held a design contest in which I won where we had to develop a school spirit shirt for the 2021 academic year. My senior project involved designing my own brand and making apparel items. A case study of my work is attached below, showing my progress in designing and making my own apparel brand.

Horror Board Game - Game Design

This was a project where I applied my design knowledge to game design. I created custom cards, tokens, board art, and character standees. I created a prototype and then played tested the game to ensure the mechanics worked as intended. To make the game engaging, I decided on a retro 80's horror theme. And since I was making a horror board game, I required it to be suspenseful, but ultimately entertaining. 

Logos - Logo Design

During my senior year of college, we were given the opportunity to choose an assignment, and I chose personal branding. I wanted to design a logo that could serve as part of my personal brand in the future. Also included is a logo I designed for a client's local basketball team.
