Oregon Garden
 

Challenge
 

Add onto the existing Oregon Garden logo to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

 

Solution
 

I wanted to lean heavily into the Oregon Garden’s heritage tree so I used the symbol to represent their past and how they will continue to grow for years to come. I’m proud to say my logo was selected as inspiration for the Oregon Garden’s official 25th anniversary logo.

Oregon Startup Center

Challenge
 

Rebrand the Oregon Startup Center with a logo, icons, and brand guide pulling it all together.
 

Solution
 

I started with the design of interlocked circles to represent how the center connect business owners to investors, I then expanded on the logo, adding specific colors, fonts, etc. to use to fill out a brand guide.

Frame the Future

Challenge
 

Crate a promotional card for the 2026 Visual Communications Portfolio show using the theme “Frame the Future”

Solution
 

I chose to lean into the types of frames the graphic design and multi media students use day-to-day in our degrees: registration and color marks for print for graphic design, a camera frame for multimedia, and a object selected frame from Adobe products for all of us.

Escape Fiction

Challenge
 

Design a new website for the local book store: Escape Fiction.

Solution
 

 I went with a colorful and uncluttered design so that the website would be appealing and easy to traverse. My favorite part of the design is the bookmark-shaped navigation system. I thought it was a fun way to use the subject of the website in a subtle but effective way.

Midsummers

Challenge
 

Create a logo for the Midsummer Night Dream themed food truck.

Solution
 

 I took heavy inspiration from illustrations found in print versions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and decided on an illustration of the queen of the fairies, Titania. I think this project succeeds because it fits captures the feeling of Shakespeare’s  play and is able to turn it into a minimal and versatile logo that can be expanded upon to create a whole brand.

Thumbelina

Challenge
 

Design a cover and layout for the story “Thumbelina.”

Solution
 

The cover was designed to mimic a cloth cover with gold foil details. I often associate these with fairytale books so I used the association here.Continuing the fairytale theming, I included illustrations with the chapter pages.

Finders Drinkers

Challenge
 

Create a Series of three labels for Finders Drinkers Seltzer water, including one special edition design. 

Solution
 

 This project went through several iterations, starting with the bottle I chose, which made me think of antiques, which evoked into “I-Spy” and the idea of wall paper, which has lead me to this vector pattern with a peep hole to the inside of the bottle, where you’ll find a image search on the back of the label.

Pebble Pops

Challenge
 

Design a box for Pebble Pops Cereal that includes an interactive element.

Solution
 

I went with a design that was very illustration heavy to appeal to kids and stand out when next to traditional, more minimalist or photo heavy designs. To include the interactive element, I decided to include both a maze on the back and a collectible element in the cereal its self

Legacy Poster

Challenge
 

Make a zine that doubles as a poster and essay about your favorite art movement.

Solution
 

For my art movement, I chose a combination of art nouveau and classic “bodice ripper” covers, I combined the posing and more detailed rendering of the covers with the line, hair, and background style often found in art nouveau pieces, particularly in the works of Alphonse Mucha.
