In this piece, I was inspired by the beautiful game, soccer. The sport has a constant presence in my life. The ball and how it moves is the focal point across the thousands of 90 minute games in Chicago and across the globe. This piece is a visual exploration of how soccer balls would fill the forms of the DMOC as if they were goals in it's own game and style of play.
Role: Graphic Designer & Art Director
20 designers were selected to design a T-shirt for the Chicago Threads Collection curated by the Design Museum of Chicago. The collection is a celebration of Chicago designers in benefit of the DMOC and keeping it free.

Project: Shop Artist Revival Typeface
“Shop Artist” is a distinctive text typeface that features straight triangular serifs with ornamental detail. It balances functionality with aesthetic sophistication. Key attributes include: short and long descenders, stubby serifs, and the combination of thick and thin high contrast stems.
This revival typeface is meant for all projects that demand text with a dash of personality and quirk in every aspect. The characters share a nod to the American Arts &Crafts Movement with a combination of Art Nouveau. "Shop Artist” is ideal for various graphic applications in the likes of: booklets, music industry ephemera, advertising, and boutique branding.

Newbridge Marketing is an experiential marketing agency with over 15 years in the industry. 2025 was the year of redefinition - Newbridge needed to do more than change the name, we needed to shift perspective. Our in-house creative team took on the challenge to visually reintroduce the company back into the experiential marketing sector with a fresh lens.
I worked directly with our creative director to ideate, explore, define, art direct, color, and everything in between - to ultimately refresh our brand identity. By designing the visual identity and establishing the creative foundation, it now shapes how Newbridge shows up across every touchpoint.

Role: Art Director, Graphic, & Production Designer
Stanley challenged Newbridge to connect with Gen Z on-campus through a high-impact mobile tour that would build brand love, drive engagement, and increase sales—positioning Stanley as the go-to drinkware brand for a new generation of consumers.
The Stanley Studio H2O Tour was a 13-week mobile pop-up activation across 14 college campuses designed to cement Stanley’s status as a must-have among students.
In collaboration with X.Wave and Stanley team, I assisted with the creative direction and logo for the campaign. From there, I ran and designed digital, print, and production assets for the tour from the trailer design, on-site signage, staff uniform, to the tour website, email marketing, paid & orgainic social.

Project: Logo & Visual Identity
Role: Designer & Art Director
Created a visual identity and logo Lauren Hall. She is a professional singer and songwriter from Chicago, that had her big break on the Voice Season 17. As Lauren solidifed herself as an artist, it was time to create her visual identity.
Her visual identity inclues custom lettering, a vibrant color palette, logo, and musical illustrations. The guiding light for this project was visualizing her energy by combining a retro look with her classy & sassy style.
The custom lettering comes through in the L in her name. I added a swash to the L as the the original L in the typeface did not have
