Saint Kate Gallery Night Reel
This is a video I created to showcase Summer Gallery Night at Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel. The Artist in Residence at the time invited the public into the Artist in Residence Studio at Saint Kate. The studio was full of fresh flowers that guests were invited to paint. The pigment-covered flowers were then tied to a microphone stand as a communal sculpture. I attended the event to capture the magic of the night so I could share it on social media. View on Instagram.

Mason Street Grill Special
I photographed this special for Mason Street Grill. They sold a special Louisiana-inspired bread pudding while the Marcus Performing Arts Center hosted Hadestown on Broadway. The head chef at the time grew up in Louisiana and created the recipe.
03
Live Music Stories
I designed Instagram stories for Saint Kate and The Pfister Hotel that share the weekly live music performances. This was a new way for local audiences to access the schedule and encouraged locals to follow the Instagram accounts.

Constellations of the Zodiac
This is a piece of animation from a larger presentation I created for the UWM Manfred Olson Planetarium. I worked on a series of presentations called Constellations of the Zodiac that the Planetarium Director would use during her shows.
05
The Sculptures
This is a poster I designed to promote the organization Sculpture Milwaukee. They bring unique sculptural work to the streets of downtown Milwaukee. I leaned into a heavy sci-fi theme as it can feel as though these art pieces take over the urban landscape. I also chose to work in the abstract as not to feature a specific piece that may only be a temporary installation.
06
Mindspiration Logo
This is a logo I created for my theoretical company Mindspiration. Mindspiration is a mindfulness messaging system designed to create mindfulness reminders that are worked into one's daily schedule. The final logo mimics the M in Mindspiration and captures the feeling of inspiration and positivity associated with mindfulness. I additionally worked on creating an entire brand for this project which was a challenge I quite enjoyed.
07
Mindfulness Infographic
As part of my overall Mindspiration project I created an infographic designed to highlight why mindfulness is such an important concept. Many people have heard the term mindfulness at this point, but often don’t know what it is or why you should practice it. This infographic provides information about the benefits of mindfulness and an explanation of why my target audience — college students — could benefit from incorporating it into their daily lives.

Broken In
Broken In is a fictional exhibition of a collection of Converse. This was for a school assignment where we were tasked with creating a poster, pamphlet and web materials for the fictional exhibition. It was my first chance to play with branding across different platforms and was a super fun project.

Saint Kate Illustrations
This is a keycard insert for the Saint Kate Arts Hotel that I created 8 different hand illustrations in collaboration with Z2 Marketing. Saint Kate wanted to highlight the series of artwork hanging in their hotel that depicts sign language hands with numbers that match the floor they are hanging on. They additionally wanted to express artistic creativity on the keycard insert itself. I decided on this dramatic and blocky style to portray these realistic sign language hands. The high contrast of the hands also creates more interest in the small size of the printed material.

Public vs Private
In addition to strictly design work I also enjoy photography. This image is part of a series considering private versus public. I drew personal thoughts and ideas onto my model’s arms to consider how she would be viewed if those words were public and not private. This model happens to be my sister and also struggles with Vitiligo. I was able to highlight that very public element of her self image that she has struggled with in the past but has recently embraced.
