Visual Identity

Climate Tech Graveyard — 2023

Ink/Photoshop/Illustrator/Figma

I designed a visual identity for a new podcast. The clients were interested in covering serious topics with experts in an approachable tone. I crafted a few mood boards to help narrow down an look and we decided a sketched aesthetic would operate well conceptually on multiple levels. So, I combined strong typographic elements and these hand drawn assets with a bold colour scheme, creating visual assets, a brand guideline book, pitch deck templates, and a website wireframe and prototype to hand off to an engineer.

Branded Assets and Visual Identity Exploration

Portal Innovations — 2022/2023

Rhino/Illustrator/Photoshop

During my time at Portal, I designed environmental signage and marketing graphics. Feeling limited by the stipulated and practical use cases for the extant brandmark, I explored using 3D modelling and vector blending to envision how the logo mark could come alive and be useful in a wider variety of settings.

Sonar App

NPR- 2021

Figma/Photoshop/Illustrator

During an experimental sprint, I designed a shazam like app for radio programming. I created these renderings and branding to present my conecept to the rest of the organization.

 Event Posters

Mouse House - 2018/2019

Photoshop/Illustrator

Working closely with the ‘Mouse House’ for two years, I created many of the show posters. Playing with type and colour were my goal while maintiaing legiblity, both digitally and in print, was my only constraint.

Environmental Graphics

Afimi — 2025

Photoshop/Illustrator/Fusion360

I created vinyl graphics for a retail space. The clients were hosting a pop-up and needed images color graded, scaled, and blended into mural that spanned an eight by twelve foot corner. I generated a custom texture to emulate a track for the floor graphic and created a 3D environment based on the floor plan to preview the graphics over the course of the revision process.

Contracted onto the Undergraduate Student Government as staff designer, I overhauled their 5 year old visual identity and created some collateral assets to be used to increase visibility of their activities.

Creating a tech pack for a backpack concept. Making a clown pass to identify materials, proposing alternative colorways, and dimensioning each element.
