About

I'm a Graphic Designer

I have been a lifelong resident of West Chester, Pennsylvania, it is a wonderful place to live amongst my family and great friends. After weighing my options on higher education, I decided to remain close to my family and attend West Chester University and focus on Graphic Design. Since I can remember, people have always told me that I have a great talent in drawing. I have always enjoyed art and I continue drawing even today. Since attending West Chester University, I have found that my love of drawing has evolved into a more sophisticated passion in creating computer based artwork in Adobe Illustrator and Indesign.

Steven Spielberg Directors Tribute

In this tribute of Steven Spielberg. I wanted to encompass the action, suspense and excitement he delivers in each one of his films with a minimalistic approach to design.
The Most Hunted Giants of the Ocean

For my senior thesis, I wanted to combine all the skills I learned in my five years of college studying graphic design. I chose to do a book on whaling to raise awareness on the issue. The book contains a detailed description of ten of the most hunted whales throughout history, including behavior, range and habit, and conservation status. I vector illustrated each whale with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and labeled the physical traits of each whale.
Hive Five Honey

Hive Five is a fictional brand of honey that I developed for branding class at West Chester University. The packaging was designed to appeal to millennials and be sold in stores such as Williams Sonoma, and Whole Foods.

For this school project I created a fictional food truck company called Deja Brew. Along with the logo, I designed a vinyl wrap for the food truck as well as a packaging and a menu to go with it.
Peppersmith Gum: Magazine Advertisment

Peppersmith gum was developed in the United Kingdom and is not very well known in the United States. To bring attention to the brand in the U.S., I thought it would be fun to play off characters from american music, television, and movies with memorable facial hair. In total, I created a series of five different character silhouettes and replaced there mustaches with Peppersmiths gums logo..
Redeye Tree Frog Illustration

Ever since I was a kid I was always fascinated with amphibians, so I thought it would fun to combine my love for vector Illustration and one of my childhood favorite animals to add to my portfolio.

Global Warming is effecting more than just humans. I developed this Public Service Announcement to show the impact man made pollution is having on Sea Ice in the Artic and the polar bears habitat.
Durango, Colorado: Stationary

The objective of this project was to re-brand the town of Durango, Colorado. After researching the town I thought it best to have the logo represent a snowy mountain, thus the colors I chose represent winter and the ski resorts for which the town is so well known.

HP Wand Poster Infographic
