While working for the MSU Writing Center, I had the opportunity to be part of the Content Team. I wrote two blog pieces, “Why Write an Outline? Why not!” and the “Gender Neutral They.” You can now see my piece about the gender neutral they up on the Writing Center’s website here! As a writer […]
This was a trifold I created for my internship at MSU’s Espresso Book Machine (it’s a cool machine that makes books!). I wanted to play with the themes of the machine, so I took much of my inspiration from the gears and pulleys inside the machine. The brochure also directly uses pictures from the Espresso […]
I recently finished a large collaborative project to produce revised versions of student workbooks for Joe Wojcik, a motivational speaker who tours schools as Joe the Biker to help stop bullying. The workbooks were definitely a multimedia project for me. Not only did I edit the text and do some collaborative developmental editing, but I […]
First and foremost, I am a writer. I’ve wanted to be a teller of stories for as long as I can remember, and creative writing is my biggest creative outlet. I think in stories, I construct rhetoric in stories, and I create visual stories. As an editor, keeping true to the author’s vision is vital […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
