What began as an exploration into photography and Photoshop, developed into a passion for graphic design. My work reflects a deep understanding of type layout, typography, graphic elements and audience. I combine both creative art and design principles into functional tools for communications, marketing, and branding.
With all of the high-end and family friendly resorts and amenities, Orlando is known for, it’s easy for a smaller resort to go unnoticed. Even if vacationers are planning to enjoy activities these smaller resorts offer, including golf, spas, and outdoor recreation, they typically choose the Disney resorts or other more “over the top” facilities. Grand Cypress is one of those
resorts that isn’t well known, and doesn’t fit the typical Orlando resort for tourists. Promoting the resort to locals and Florida residents is a market that should be targeted. These groups may prefer to avoid the busy, tourist filled theme parks, or a looking for a new place for a “staycation.” Grand Cypress offers them a place to feel away from it all, without traveling too far. *This project was a student work in no way affiliated with Grand Cypress Resort.

While many young people look to find a career for themselves in the armed forces, they often view the United States Air Force as the people who fly jets all day. This notion is far from the truth. The US Air Force offers over 200 separate career paths many of which do not involve flying at all. The primary goal of these advertisements is to show young people
that the US Air Force has more to offer than fighter jets. They display service members in roles usually associated with long-term careers such as medicine and engineering. To add a unique takeaway, the ads will come with instructions to fold them into paper airplanes. This makes the ad fun, but also physically spreads the message once it’s thrown through the air. *This project was a student work in no way affiliated with the United States Air Force.

Because of the many campus locations and college departments within FSCJ, brand consistency became a problem. Many departments created content without adhering to any of the established branding guidelines. As a result, students became confused and were not able to clearly identify school sponsored events and activities. New dynamic designs were
created and provided to the departments and the easy to use formatting further encouraged them to stay on brand. Similarly, a new admissions certificate was designed to replace the outdated template. By using an exciting pattern and bright color, this new design encourages students to proudly share their school spirit on social media. *These projects were part of an internship with FSCJ. The designs were implemented during my time with the department and are included in my portfolio with permission.
