Nerdfighteria Sponsorship Logo
In 2014, my design was selected to appear as John Green’s sponsorship logo for AFC Wimbledon, an English professional football club, Merton, London, that currently competes in the EFL League Two. I developed this design with not only the Green Brothers but also the huge, diverse community of Nerdfighters that I’d come into by that…

Spa Advertising Design
The Spa at Catfish Bend functioned as its own brand within the larger resort brand. I developed a consistent aesthetic for monthly advertising, which took the form of posters, print ads in the direct mail communications, and digital signage around the property. Designs were photo-forward with an emphasis on sensory experience when the service was…

Commission Lineart
This lineart is a commission for the client’s ttrpg character. I received a general idea of the character’s outfit, with detailed attention paid to the hairstyle. The client elected to color their own lineart for the campaign, so I provided them with a black and white version.

Unicorn Print
This little unicorn was created to make a custom fabric print for an A-line dress. I wanted a design that looked pretty and deerlike, but liked the idea of a spunky, snooty personality. He’d better watch where he’s going, though!

Food Photography
I have extensive experience taking photographs of food for design projects and social media. Food is finicky and deflates quickly – seconds can mean the difference between an attractive cocktail and a sweaty, half-melted mess. I’m accustomed to working with chefs and kitchen teams to organize and execute photoshoots; a plated food shoot requires solid…

The Tiger Station
The Tiger Station was a new location on the Iowa Wesleyan University campus, consolidating internship, career, and service learning resources into one space. I was tasked to create a decal for the existing glass door that would incorporate the IW brand as well as a bold look to complement the aerospace theme. I went with…

The Haunted Auditorium
In 2020, the directors of a local historical event space contacted me with a new idea: The Haunted Auditorium. The Memorial Auditorium has been a fixture of the Burlington landscape for decades, and new leadership at Burlington Riverfront Entertainment wanted to create a unique experience that would utilize the space in the autumn. My job?…

75 Years of Art at Iowa Wesleyan University
In 2022, the Iowa Wesleyan Art program celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary. To commemorate this event, Art & Digital Media Design faculty requested a graphic suitable for email signatures, signage, social media, and possible web presence. To honor the deep history of traditional art at Iowa Wesleyan, I searched for a typeface with a hand-drawn feel.…

The Purple & White Alumni Magazine
Between Fall 2020 and Spring 2023, I was the exclusive designer for The Purple & White, the Iowa Wesleyan University Alumni Magazine. After I received approved written content, I developed layouts, selected photos, or created graphics to supplement each article. Any increase over 32 pages would break budget; it was my challenge to design layouts…

University Site Headers
Supporting the Iowa Wesleyan University website has been part of my duties since joining the Marketing team in 2020. This primarily takes shape as header graphics, which are designed in Photoshop and provided to the on-staff developer with some creative direction for animation. I created a series of campus and student imagery for “Make IW…
