Always sitting on a thought.

A collection of some of the best pieces I’ve created during my time studying graphic design.


Star Wave Font Design [2025]

Made in Adobe Illustrator

I designed this font in Typography class. I was going for a font that looked interesting but felt casual. I made the letters and stroke ends look rounded, and copied letters to help the font look uniform. The lines are meant to feel controlled but not strict.

Illustrator Cityscape [2024]

Made in Adobe Illustrator

I made this illustration for a class assignment. We needed to use gradients and what knowledge the class had taught us about the program [specifically the pen tool] to create a simple – but thoughtful – cityscape. I used the colors to try and create simple but effective depth in the drawing.

StarDrop Soda Can Mock-Up [2024]

Made in Adobe Illustrator + Photoshop

For one of the last projects in a class for the 2024 Fall Semester, I needed to create two different product mock-ups for the same brand. This was one I chose. I made the logo and most of the other design details in Illustrator and then loaded the design onto the template the professor provided. I wanted to make the can design “pop” to match the energy of the product inside, but I wanted it to look thoughtful as well.

Cosmic Cakes Logo & Business Card [2024]

Made in Adobe Illustrator

For a final project in one of my Adobe courses, I needed to create a logo, a business card, and a flyer for a business [real or made-up]. I made up the business “Cosmic Cakes”. I wanted to have yellow and red incorporated into the logo, since I know that those two colors speed up the metabolism, but I wanted to make it visually pleasing to look at. The red is muted, but the yellow is bright. The icing was meant to look like yummy clouds as a nod to the business name.
