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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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
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 […]
Grammar is my daily bread and butter when I write or edit, but doesn’t play a role in my design as often. When I received the task to redesign an grammar course flyer for my design internship at MSU, I was super excited. Grammar isn’t usually considered a very interesting subject, so I wanted to […]
This is a mixed media piece created in Photoshop for a fantasy art context. The goal was to imagine a unique species of dragon and draw it in its natural habitat. As you can guess, my dragon had camouflage skills and very sticky toes. I was very excited when my dragon won third place in […]
