A Playground for Creativity

COLLECTED DESIGNS:

This page is a collection of designs I’ve created purely for fun or practice. These aren’t projects I completed for clients, but mostly for student organizations I’m apart of to let my mind stretch and flow. Whether it was designing for a magazine or simply exploring new tools and techniques, these designs helped me hone my skills and discover new ideas.

Take a look through my collected designs—they’re a glimpse into my creative journey and a testament to my love for visual storytelling.

My involvements and projects are always evolving — stay up to date on LinkedIn!

Developing a Brand

Here is a style guide I made for my organization PRISM (Public Relations, Influencing, and Social Media) while I was the marketing officer. When I got this leadership role, the organization was definitely in it’s developing stages. There wasn’t much more than set colors and typography. My favorite part was playing the role of historian and unveiling the true intentions the founders had for PRISM. I believe behind any brand, everyone involved needs to understand it’s purpose and core values. So as I transitioned to my role as President I clarified our mission statement, brand pillars, and defining brand usage such as PRISM should always be capitalized since it is an abbreviation.

magazine spreads

As part of The A Line magazine design team, I design editorial spreads that bring stories to life through intentional layout, typography, and imagery. Each spread is crafted to align with the magazine’s aesthetic and brand identity while enhancing storytelling and reader engagement.

I collaborate with writers and photographers to create visually cohesive designs that flow naturally from concept to print—balancing creativity, precision, and polish using Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.

This print spread was curated for A Line’s Fall 2025 issue called “Foolish.” I had the pleasure of being apart of almost all of this article’s creative process from styling all the way to the tweaks in photoshop. Being apart of Devil’s Ettiquette Guide meant I was helping direct the models poses and changing the color scale to fit into the punk grunge edition of the magazine. This style at first really intimidated me but I ultimately got to add my own touch of stripes (which I’ve been obsessed with lately) and bright colors.

Something in this design that is reflected in all of my creativity work is the depth and value. I love adding multiple layers to a design with interesting backgrounds and finsihing it off with texture and grain on top of everything.

First of all, yes I know this design is also about the devil. It was unintentional on my part.

I consider these spreads my first ever real work in Adobe InDesign. It was hard… but I had a vision. This design was made for A Line’s Spring 2025 issue named “Lux Nova.” This issue was complex because the physical magazine had two sides, one being dark and the other light. As a very new beginner I was given quite the challenge when I received these photos with a complete black background… when my article was intended to be on the light side. This is how I made due. Of course I’m curious to know what I could’ve done with a light background to begin with but this shows my qualities of adaptability, grit, and determination.

This spread was created for an online article and was my first real dive into Adobe design tools. I didn’t really know what I was doing at first (thank you, YouTube tutorials!), but I had so much fun experimenting, learning, and figuring it out along the way. I’m really proud of how it turned out—and it marks one of those creative moments where curiosity met design.

speaking of online magazines…

I’ve modeled for a few shoots! take a look…

graphic designs

I’ve always enjoyed photography, especially capturing everyday moments to share on social media. It’s not something I’ve taken too seriously yet, but it’s a creative outlet that lets me capture how I see the world!

Recently, I tried my hand at taking a simple headshot for a client and ended up experimenting with photos of my dogs just for fun. Those little experiments turned out better than I expected. Now, I’m excited to learn more about how to use my Nikon camera to its full potential.
