In 2021, the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities began crafting a new, collaborative, strategic plan. Including both faculty and staff, this ambitious new vision for the College required a bold, sleek design to pair nicely with the recent new viewbook.

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. An updated viewbook was at the forefront of the design needs, as the viewbook or lookbook represents the primary promotional material for the College. As the […]
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 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).
