Poster design based on Marty Sklar’s “Mickey’s Ten Commandments” completed during an internship with Walt Disney Imagineering.

Snapchat filters for the state of Delaware, created during an internship with Miles Marketing.

Program, announcement, president's reception announcement and ticket design for Ringling College 2017 Commencement Ceremonies. I had seniors submit three pieces of their choosing to me with the only criteria being, it had to be something created while at Ringling. Once submissions were collected I sorted them in colors and began the process of placing each image in individual squares. It was a long tedious process, but it paid off. The die cut arrows represent the class moving forward on to whatever adventures lie ahead. 

Dabo is the ultimate gift giving box subscription. It’s designed for busy breadwinners, or parents whose children attend oodles of birthday parties each year.

You can then customize information for all your friends and family, setting price range and interests for each to help Dabo find you the perfect gift every time. This box fills the need for frantic shopping trips the night before a party or a distant relatives birthday. Remember nobody likes a party pooper. Never show up without a gift.

Redesigned four chapters, two text chapters and two image chapters of the book The Mind from the TimeLife textbook series. Used the original text from the book but all new images or images from the book collaged in new ways. All together redesigned 60 pages of the original book.

Build an online presence (mobile for one, mobile and website for two) for a small "artisan" business in an edible category with an emphasis on indulgence or craving (ex: donuts, cupcakes, gourmet pizza, etc.). Create a bridge that easily connects their customers/fans, boosting social engagement, increasing awareness and generating buzz. Consider image sources and quality. What imagery is existing or can be photographed to insure quality.

Turning the invisible process of the mind wandering while reading visible.

Summarize the message of a popular TED Talk. Make a sequence of six panels using type and imagery to convey the information and tone of the spoken presentation. Imagery cannot be drawn from the presentation and must be constructed with imagery made myself or found in the public domain.

This project is a reflection of me as an artist. Each part has its own paper size, A1, A3, A4, and A5. The challenge for this project was to get all four paper sizes to be displayed together in some sort of branding package format.

The A5 page is a digital self-portrait. The portrait was completed using Adobe Illustrator. It is a mixture of the pen tool and collage of various projects I have completed.

The A3 contains collages of work I have created during and outside of school from freshman year to now.

The A4 page is a series of questions one may ask a designer like me to learn more about my thought process and how I work. The paragraph underneath is a short statement in an attempt to answer the same questions in a more creative, abstract way. The prose is a short story about a day in my life as a designer. The paragraph type was handset and printed on the letterpress. It took five hours to set the type alone.

The last and biggest part, the A1, is a poster to portray my statement in a design form and sum up the project. It was designed on Adobe Illustrator. The stitching throughout was done by hand.

These postcards began as a pattern I created in Illustrator and turned into polymer plates at the Ringling Letterpress and Book Arts Center. The polymer was adhered to a plate to become type high and were printing on the press. The challenge for this project was to get the two plates to line up correctly. The back of the post card was hand set type.

A just-for-fun letterpress project printed using impressions of multimedia collages and wire on a wood block.

This book project is based on the many places I have lived as a military dependent, represented by the state flower from each location. I designed the book in Illustrator and developed the prints on three polymer plates at the Ringling College Letterpress and Book Arts Center. I adhered the polymers onto plates to raise them to type high so they were ready to print. I printed twenty five copies of the book on plain paper and the rest were experimental copies printed various media including maps and a travel guide to represent my life’s journey.
