Ancient Map
Project Type: Graphic
This exploration of digital illustration to create complex and refined artistic visuals.
My design objective was to create a detailed, visually striking map using Adobe Illustrator, focusing on precision, composition, and aesthetic impact. The result is a digitally created art piece that showcases both technical skill and artistic intent, turning geographic structure into a cohesive work of art.
Bauhaus Animation
Project Type: Graphic Design
Starting out in animation, I first selected an iconic Bauhaus Formula One Car Poster to recreate and animate.
This was a great introduction to motion design and allowed me to explore animation techniques using Adobe XD. It was a valuable exercise in translating static design into movement while staying true to the bold, geometric style of the Bauhaus aesthetic.
Twisted Tea Tees
Project Type: Graphic
To save money on costs, the client ordering these T-Shirts wanted only two imprint colors: white and gold.
​
Rather than seeing this as a restriction, I used it as an opportunity to think strategically about color and composition. By incorporating the blue of the shirt as a “third color,” I was able to create more depth and detail within the design - this approach allowed me to enhance the overall visual impact while staying within the two-color limit, making the final piece both cost-effective and visually dynamic.
Chow's Gymnastics Tees
Project Type: Graphic Design
Chow's Gymnastics tasked me with creating a fun, fresh shirt design to be sold within the gym. I wanted the design to capture the energy, strength, and spirit of the athletes while also appealing to a wide range of ages.
A key goal was to keep the design gender-neutral, ensuring that it could be worn confidently by anyone. By focusing on bold colors and a playful yet clean aesthetic, I created a design that felt both inclusive and representative of the gym’s fun and vibrant community.
