Recently, I worked with the Black Religion and Spirituality Conference (hosted at MSU through AAAS) to develop a plan for updating their website via WordPress. I also helped create flyers, produced content for their website, created a Call for Papers, and helped to set up both Twitter and Facebook to additionally publicize the conference. My […]

Writing Draft for the Computers & Composition Digital Press
I worked on a team to develop promotional text that would accompany conference materials for the CCDP (Computers and Composition Digital Press). I really enjoyed working collaboratively on this project, and even though I wasn’t responsible for the design work, I loved watching my teammate’s designs come together based on our feedback. Collaborative work is […]
Twitter Documentation: MSU Writing Center Buttons
While making button pins for the MSU Writing Center, I decided to document my process via Twitter. This helped me not only keep track of what was left to do, but also help the Writing Center popularize these buttons. Several followers who don’t usually visit the Writing Center mentioned that they stopped by purposefully to […]
Broad Flyer
I created this course flyer as part of my design internship for the MSU Professional Writing Dept. This design gave me some trouble, as the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum is both very new and hosts diverse art. I wasn’t sure how to visually link my design to the Broad. Eventually, I decided to […]
PW T-Shirt Design
When my college department held a contest for a t-shirt design, I knew I wanted to enter. The Professional Writing program has a chameleon mascot named Clyde who represents our versatility as students, and I was inspired to remake his image on the t-shirt. After going through multiple designs, I finally decided on a cute […]
Screen Prints
I have created a series of Autism awareness screenprints and artwork. The project started as a way to raise positive awareness and to give my brother a t-shirt that could make him feel proud of his identity as an Autistic person. My sister later started her own awareness project to help elementary students understand ASD […]
Young Authors’ Conference: Facebook
During my time as an intern with the Young Authors’ Conference in 2013 (ending in August), I was responsible for crafting the conference’s Facebook presence. Since 2013 was the first year of the conference, I had to start from scratch to create a brand and content that would appeal to teens, educators, and parents. I posted […]
Freelance Editing Round 2
This is the second piece I worked with my client from community college student. Again, she wanted a heavy copyedit and developmental assistance. All of these edits were made in Microsoft Word using track changes in under two hours, as requested. Freelance Editing 2
Outlines, outlines, outlines
Personally, I believe that all parts of the writing process should cater to the writer’s needs and should never be set in stone. As a Writing Center consultant, I spend much of my time suggested that students write an outline before they dive into their paper. This is a piece written specifically for the MSU […]
Freelance: Editing a student piece
Helping others bring their writing from a rough draft to a polished piece has always been my favorite part about editing. The client, a community college student, wanted not only a heavy copyedit, but also developmental assistance. All of these edits were made in under two hours, as requested. The client really appreciated my work, […]
