Hi, my name is Cassia and I am a graduate of Indiana University where I received a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History. I have several years of experience in the graphic design industry under my belt and throughout my career I have accumulated many skills and experiences that make me the multi-faceted designer that I am today. I have worked in the print media industry, at a marketing agency that served B2B clients, and as a freelance designer. From these experiences I have skills both as a team player and as a team leader. My design sensibilities are driven by my ever-present passion for art that started when I was a little kid competing in drawing contests against my sisters. This passion has evolved into transforming my artistic abilities into designs that impact the world, or just one person.

Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Professional Services
    uniE621 Indiana University Themester 2023: Light & Truth
    I designed these posters for the Indiana University’s 2023 Themester. Themester is a collection of classes, lectures, films, etc. that IU organizes around a specific theme for one semester. The theme for 2023 was Light & Truth (Lux et Veritas in Latin) which is the university's motto, a fitting theme as it was the last themed semester put on by the school. For my design, I wanted to focus on the words "light" and "truth" and how they inform the other when put together. I thought of the idea of enlightenment, and how learning the truth about something can feel like turning a light on in a dark room. I represent that moment of enlightenment with color and shape with the darkness of the poster creeping in from the corners, but the center of the poster is a bright yellow circle that radiates outwards and reveals a quote in the center. I chose a quote from Shakespeare, a prominent figure in the academic world, that I thought highlighted my idea in an obvious way. The idea behind using the quote, "I will find where the truth is hid, though it were hid indeed within the centre" and placing it in the center of my poster represents the idea that sometimes the truth is staring us in the face the whole time and all we need to do is accept it. This was a freelance project that I was asked to participate in as a graduate of Indiana University.
    uniE621 Jinx Design Co. Branding
    This project was done for class during my undergrad year at Indiana University and the objective was to invent my own creative business and then design the branding for it. I took inspiration from one of my life goals, which is to start a freelance design business with my twin sister. With this in mind, I named the business Jinx Design Co. with “Jinx” acting as a playful nod to our twin identities.

    uniE621 Mock WWF Stamps & Postcards
    This project was done for class during my undergrad year at Indiana University and the objective was to create a set of stamps and postcards that each feature an animal from the WWF’s endangered animal list. The stamps are meant to bring awareness to endangered animals, and feature a call to action for people to learn more about how to help the animals. I specifically chose to feature animals that live in cold climates because climate change poses a future threat to them, if not having already affected them. *DISCLAIMER that the WWF is not actually affiliated with this project. This is a hypothetical campaign designed for their cause.

    uniE621 Basel Symphony Orchestra Branding
    This project was done for class during my undergrad year at Indiana University and the objective was to create branding for a set of shows put on by the made up Basel Symphony Orchestra. For the logo, I paired simple, clean typography with a logo mark that references music notes on a music staff. For the posters, I listened to each piece of music and illustrated a set of lines that I felt captured the mood of the song. I utilized these illustrated elements throughout all promotional materials to keep a cohesive brand. The professor who graded this project remarked that it “is one of the strongest student submissions I’ve seen (over many years) for this project!” To see the full project visit my portfolio: https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner branding logo posters
    uniE621 Indiana University Themester 2020: Democracy Posters
    I designed these posters for the Indiana University's 2020 Themester. Themester is a collection of classes, lectures, films, etc. that IU organizes around a specific theme for one semester and the theme for 2020 was democracy. I wanted to focus on the idea of the people's voice and the importance of an individual’s identity within a democracy. To represent this, I chose the image of a fingerprint, because each person’s prints are unique to themselves. This project was done for class during my undergrad year at Indiana University but both of my poster designs, as well as a few other student posters, were selected to be used as the actual promotional materials for the 2020 Themester.
