My Portfolio

Here are all the projects I decided to showcase from over the past few years! Feel free to scroll and look through all the projects I have completed, and see how I have improved as a Graphic Designer!

Brushwood Bistro - Food Truck - 2022

A theoretical Food Truck concept created in my sophomore year Graphic Design class. This particular food truck is imagined to be a dog-friendly, Japanese-style cafe truck that serves drinks, pastries, and dog treats to its customers. The name Brushwood Bistro derives from the dog breed of the mascot, the Shiba Inu. In Japanese, “Shiba Inu” translates to “Brushwood Dog”. So, to add catchy alliteration to the name, I added in “Bistro”, influenced by the cafe-style elements.

Non-Sporting Dogs - Field Guide Design - 2021

In one of my Graphic Design classes, we were given the freedom to design a field guide based on any topic. I chose to do Non-Sporting dog breeds since it narrowed down the extensive list of dog breeds that I could choose from. I used watercolor to create a portrait of five different dog breeds, which can be seen on the cover as well as each page that have been mocked up into a small book.

Humor Illustration Series - Magazine Design - 2023

It all begins with a silly little article of a nautical adventure called “Moby Dave,” written by Dave Berry. The watercolor illustrations I made were a main illustration that pairs with a spot illustration, which both include a conch shell with the sea creature’s eyes peeking out. These illustrations are based on a small section I focused on within the entirety of the story.

The Scratch Pad - Cat Cafe Website - 2022

An imagined cat cafe meant to be a place where college students can congregate to hangout and/or study in Flagstaff, AZ. This cat cafe gives customers the opportunity to not only hangout with the cats upon their visit, but also gives the chance to adopt a furry companion and bring them home. This website is for the purpose of viewing menu items and merchandise before arriving, as well as getting a chance to view the adoptable kitties.

Strawberry Illustration Series - Seed Packet Design - 2023

In my Advanced Illustration class during junior year, I created a botanical illustration, watercolor painting, and seed packet design for the strawberry plant. I chose to do a strawberry because it is my favorite food, if you couldn’t tell from my logo!

Japanese Tea Ceremony - Infographic Poster - 2024

I created an infographic poster informing audiences that want to learn more about Japanese culture. This infographic specifically focuses on the aspects within the traditional tea ceremonies held throughout Japan’s history.

TGen Public Tour Poster Series - 2022

This poster series was created during my time as a Helios Scholar at Tgen’s Downtown Phoenix, AZ location. I worked with my mentor, Jeff Watkins, to create a total of six posters for each lab within each lab throughout the facility.
