Project: Sponsor Form At my work with Michigan Audubon, I often have to design documents. Designing documents that are branded, streamlined, and visually easy to comprehend is one challenge, while convincing my coworkers that I wanted to take the time to expand the design or put extra work beyond half an hour into a design […]
The Rusty Blackbird Blitz Infographic was another piece created for my current job at Michigan Audubon. This piece fit into a broader conservation project that I developed with a coworker. She spearheaded the organization as part of a national project to help count elusive Rusty Blackbirds, a species believed to be in a dangerous decline. […]

The MSU Writing Center regularly asks clients to fill out a survey discussing their experience, and then this information is used to help consultants better cater to the needs of clients. Usually, the flyer is […]
Similar to the brochure I made, I also created bookmarks for the Espresso Book Machine (in the MSU library). Although these bookmarks were recreations of existing bookmarks, I had some room to play with the colors and layout. I was also able to use the pictures I had previously edited from my trifold to give […]
