Viewbook for the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities In 2022, the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities (RCAH) embarked on a second, more ambitious rebranding project.

Project: Resume Redux I’ve always liked the idea of a visual resume, one that would showcase what I did and what I could do while standing out from the standard templates. I created this template in Adobe Illustrator after researching some other resume layouts. The colors I chose have a united cool palette, with orange […]
Project: Icons Minimalist icons are a new experiment for me, and one I wanted to incorporate into a website for work. I needed three icons for the front page, one to use for the history section, one for the bird research, and one for the mission. The three needed to match in style and simplicity […]

This was a deeply personal project that gave me the opportunity to explore mixed media work. I’ve always loved mixed media—it gives me the best of the tactile creation that comes with traditional work and the endless possibilities that comes with digital creation. For this project, initially for a contest, I wanted to explore the […]
This logo was my first real brush with a complicated project in a professional setting. The Tawas Point Birding takes place every year in East Tawas, Michigan, and is run by Michigan Audubon. Since there was no prior logo for the event, I researched other birding festivals and conservation logos. The goal for the festival is […]
