I’ve spent the past four years honing my design skills at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, earning a degree in Graphic Design, and minor in Business. I was recognized as a 2024 Student to Watch by GDUSA Magazine. They also gave me a 2024 American Package Design Award. At graduation I was awarded both the graphic design department award & an award for academic excellence having placed in the top three of my graduating class. During my education I worked at my college’s in house design agency “The Agency”. There I learned how to work with clients, develop brands and manage projects. I also worked with America250PA, as their social media intern developing social graphics, planning posts, and occasional photography. I’ve proven my talent, now it’s time for me to grow as a professional.

Industry Experience

Non-Profit Organization
    uniE621 Senior Show & Celebration Concept
    This was my concept for PCA&D’s Senior Show & Celebration design competition. I drew inspiration from the song “Stick Out” by Girli, the idea of standing out & sticking it out til the end as well as the students' love of stickers. I wanted to convey the aesthetics of an underground club's back wall covered in past concert posters that had been sticker-bombed over the years.
    uniE621 Papa's Cap
    “Good days in a good life; that’s, no doubt, why it hurts so much now that it’s all behind me...” - Nathan J. Wilson In July of 2022, my grandfather chose to take his own life. He was a farmer for 39 years, and was always passionate about the agriculture industry. With my senior thesis I wanted to honor his memory as well as do something for the community he cared so much about. I developed & branded an agricultural mental health campaign, “Papa’s Cap”. “Papa’s Cap” is focused on raising awareness & providing resources relating to mental health & farm stress to agricultural communities.
    uniE621 BeelzeBuds
    “BeelzeBuds” is a fictional earbuds product I came up with for my Packaging Design course. “BeelzeBuds” are made for those who are willing to do anything for premium audio quality, even if that includes selling their soul. Through the power of dark forces & ancient rituals these wireless earbuds have 7.1 surround sound, active noise canceling.
