I created infographics that conveyed the complex and impactful work that USAID does in the Philippines in a clear and engaging manner. The series consisted of several infographics in which I illustrated various fishing equipment and marine life in various regions of the Philippines to educate the community about sustainable fishing practices.

These graphics were created for the Community Associations Institute 2023 Annual Conference. My goal was to capture the Western theme, as the conference was held in Dallas, and create celebratory feeling while maintaining professional, corporate look. I handled the project from brainstorming the overall visual identity to creating hundreds of print and digital assets. Art director: Cori Canady

I found many unconventional ways of applying patterns normally found on cowboy boots: on longhorns, ice cubes, cameras, and more. These graphics were incorporated into event signage. An especially fun project was designing temporary tattoos that combined the CAI 50th Anniversary logo with the Texas state flower.

This is a spotlight of some projects I worked on as a staff graphic designer at Community Associations Institute. When designing CAI marketing materials, such as brochures and flyers, I carefully selected stock photos with thought, taste, and sensitivity. I regularly evaluated how each photo may be perceived and made sure my selection was accurately representing the topic and left no room for ambiguity.

A big aspect of my work was layout design for CAI publications, including but not limited to handbooks, magazines, and fact sheets. I developed solutions for information visualization that were creative, appealing, and facilitated communication of data.

TOWANDA Women's Center in Jena has recently moved to a new building and wished to advertise their new spaces. They wanted the spaces to be the main focus of the brochure, but the building itself did not look very highlight-worthy and they were missing photos of the interior. I used my illustration skills to create a visually appealing yet accurate portrayal of the new location.

The article in the Common Ground magazine drew inspiration from cookbooks, so the illustration was supposed to be evocative of vintage cookbooks. I researched imagery from the 1950s, analyzing the typical illustration style and adapting my own style to mimic that. I chose the typography in a similar manner, aiming to make the text look vintage, but not outdated. Knowing that I would also be designing the layout for the article, I conceptualized the illustration to include individual elements to be used as spots throughout the pages.

This Instagram campaign I proposed was aimed at promoting the Sarah Doyle Center’s library. I created portraits of several authors who examined the issues of gender in their work, accompanied by bios and quotes. Many students who started college during lockdown were not aware of the Center and the resources it had to offer, so the series of posts was helpful in educating the community about the Center.

I volunteered as a graphic designer at the Climate Emergency Center in Jena, Germany. The Center was interested in a logo update, but wished to keep the main elements to preserve recognizability in the community. I developed a harmonious composition preserving the imagery of an Earth and a city landmark, but made sure it looked modern and professional. The logo was successfully adopted by the organization and is now used in their print and digital graphics.

This is a branding project aimed at creating a simple visual identity evocative of nature, yet offering an alternative to the blue/green color scheme characteristic of similar organizations. When designing the logo, I challenged myself to portray an owl with as few elements as possible. When illustrating the infographic featuring several owl species, I used the full range of illustration tools to draw pictures that are engaging, friendly, and correctly represent different species.
