Designer’s Statement East Coast born and raised, my designs are heavily influenced by the ocean and surf culture. Whether designing, illustrating, or sculpting, my contemporary and energetic style is reflected throughout my work.
Digital Illustration Challenge Design an illustrative poster depicting a city of my choice using vector graphics.
Solution After visiting San Francisco last summer, I was highly influenced by the city art. I combined a collection of San Francisco’s highlighted attractions in a vibrant composition. Using a hand painted illustration of San Francisco, I transformed the watercolor into a vector piece.
Cost-Effective Challenge: Design a cost-effective invitation for the 5th Annual Samtmann Family Barbecue.
Solution : In order to show the excitement that occurs every year at the Samtmann Family Barbecue, I organized various typefaces to lead the viewers eye through the invitation. The pig icon immediately informs the observer that they have been invited to a pig pickin. Using only the color black and printing on pink tinted paper, I was able to create an eye-catching, cost-effective invitation.

cobbled right point promises ¼-mile-long rides into a tranquil bay and an unfortunately small swell window due to the Channel Islands lying off shore. About twenty miles farther, Santa Barbara’s plethora of restaurants, shopping, and historic missions are well worth a visit. It’s only as Santa Barbara becomes a fading speck in the rearview mirror that the Central Coast begins to hint at its breath-taking beauty; gentle, verdant hills punctuated by gnarled, ancient oaks and bountiful crops idly juxtaposed with secret, hidden beaches and craggy, wind-whipped coves. Casually meandering north, highway 1 reachesBig Sur, a contrast of forest, mountains, and ocean renowned for its sublime terrain and spectacular vistas. Climbing higher, the road assumes a new character as it swings along high cliffs and mossy trees, sometimes revealing pockets of thick fog below.

PRO SECTION
I was 4 years old when my dad started to push me into waves at the hanalei Pier and Pinetrees on one of his boards. I don’t really remember the first time I surfed, but by the time I way 9 years old I just loved it and I’d would go everyday. how long did you compete before winning your first contest, and when was it? I started to compete when I was around 9 years old. The only age division they had for girls in nSSA and hASA at that time was 17 & under. I can’t remember my first win, but I did qualify for nationals in the 17 & under division when I was `2’ I ended up getting 4th place that year, so that was a big accomplishment for me. What do you love the most about surfing contests/free surfing? I love free surfing because its fun and makes me happy. It’s what I live for. I definitely like free surfing more, but I do like contests when the surf is good because you get to surf with only a few girls out, and I do love competitions. I need to keep working on surfing smaller waves because most contests are held when the waves are small and the conditions are not that good. Best breaks you’ve surfed? I love my home break the most. Would you ever want to compete in the eddie?
PRO SECTION
I don’t think so. They don’t run it until it’s 20ft and you have to surf against the most aggressive big wave surfers in the world. did you get a lot of fame from winning the reef hawaiian Pro at haleiwa?
style and she just seems to stay really composed, even when she is down in a heat. What do you think you would be up to, if you weren’t surfing…or if you had been born somewhere like kansas?
I probably got more exposure from winning that contest than any other contest that I have won, which isn’t all that many. All my sponsors put it on their websites and also Surfline and the various sur f magazine websites. The way the contest was covered on the webcast made a big difference compared to past contest that I have been in. It was actually live on TV. You can now watch surfing contests live on Tv. Its in hD and is crystal clear.
I have no idea. I probably would be in school, hopefully, or living on a farm.
after winning such a prestigious title, have you noticed a change in how other girls treat you on the tour?
Where do you want to travel to, that you have not already been yet?
All the girls treat me well, and everyone is really nice. nothing has changed as far as that goes. Who do you dread competing against the most & why? Well, all the girls are really hard, but definitely girls like Stephanie, Coco, Sally, Sophia, and Silvana, because they are really good competitors as well as being great surfers. Who in surfing do you respect the most? Probably Stephanie because she has such a good, powerful
in what country did you experience culture shock the most, and how? Probably Brazil. Just seeing the vabelas, the slums of Brazil, up on the mountains was really eye opening. It is pretty much where all the poor people live and where a lot of crime happens. It is house on top of house, and it’s just going all the way up the mountains. It’s just crazy!
Morocco seems like it would be an interesting place to go and the waves look really good. how does it feel to be referred to as one of the prettiest surfers in the world? I think its really funny and cool I guess, but there are so many pretty surfer girls out there. Look at all the girls on the WCT and the WQS. There are so many pretty girls that they would have a hard time deciding which 12 girls to pick if they ever wanted to do a calendar.
any scary travel stories that stand out in your memory? Yes, Australian customs thought I was smuggling drugs into Australia, so they detained me for 3 hours for questioning and wanted to take me to the hospital and have a stomach xray to see if I swallowed drugs. They were pretty rude to me and wouldn’t even let me make a phone call so that I could let Laura enever, who was picking me up at the airport, know why I wasn’t there to be picked up. I had just done a 17-hour flight, so I was already at the end of my rope. When they finally let me go, Laura had gone home thinking I missed my flight. I couldn’t get a hold of Laura and by that time it was really late, so I called my dad in hawaii where it was like 2am. he called rip Curl in Australia and they got a hold of Laura and she came and got me. other hobbies you love? I’m getting into sewing and cooking. do you cross-train? Yeah, I try to stay active. I like to bike or do some pilates or yoga when I’m not surfing. I also have an elliptical trainer that I use on a regular basis. looking forward, what do you see yourself doing after the tour? Traveling and starting a family. how do you want to be remembered in life? Just as really nice person.

POSTER Challenge Design a poster for the annual Charleston Harborfest, a festival dedicated to the “tall ships�.
Solution To show the commotion that happens each year in the Charleston Harbor, I designed a poster featuring a large sailboat silhouette in the background. Using a limited number of shapes and colors, I arranged them in a poster to show Charleston that the tall ships are coming.

Brochure Challenge: Construct an invitation for Charleston’s annual Taste of the Arts on Gallery Row that includes an instructional map.
Solution : Charleston’s annual Taste of the Arts on Gallery Row is an exhibit to showcase local artists in historic Broad Street art galleries. This design was challenging as I had to show the combination between culinary arts and Lowcountry art. I executed a successful design by arranging typography over a photograph I shot of Broad Street and a muted color palette.

Ad Campaign Challenge Using a supplied photograph and promotional copy, create a campaign to raise awareness and participation in a Holocaust Remembrance Walk.
Solution The imagery provided includes solemn tones of grays and black with brighter colors, which illuminate the concept of remembrance of those lost. The shape of the golden banner intersects the endless line of candles. I selected a worn-edged headline font to emphasize the feeling of the trodden road and give a historical look and to contrast the contemporary body copy. The signature logo treatment identifying the Charleston Jewish Federation is used in the lower right corner of each item. The promotional materials for the campaign are unified while still offering visual variety.

Corporate ID System Challenge: Create a visual identity for Tip Top Treehouse Campground, a fictional treehouse campground in Asheville North Carolina.
Solution: To create a logo that represents a treehouse campground, I combined angular thick and thin lines to form an illustrative style icon. Showcasing what the campground has, the logo is a treehouse with a carved wooden sign hanging beneath it. The bright orange treehouse grabs focus as it sits on the vibrant green tree behind it while the dark brown make the letters stand out. These colors are used on all stationary, promotional material, and campground merchandise. For the advertisement campaign, I created a photo collage to demonstrate a relatable, clean concept that is used throughout four separate ads.

PACKAGE DESIGN Challenge Design a convenient package that houses several lip balms for a fictional company, Electric Lip Bombs.
Solution With Pop Art as my main influence, I designed a small, user-friendly carrying package that houses four different flavor lip balms. The four circles at the top of the package symbolize a bomb with a lit fuse. The colorful lip illustration pattern surrounds the entire package, keeping the viewer engaged to keep turning the piece. Bright, vibrant type is the main focus of the front panel while the logo is seen in the lower right corner. Each lip balm tin has a different label for different flavors.
Photoshop Challenge : Illustrate a subject of your choice to demonstrate Photoshop skills.
Solution : Using President Andrew Jackson as my subject, I created a surrealist influenced painting. This Photoshop painting was then transformed into an informational bookmark.

Pottery
I became interested in Pottery at an early age. The process of forming a clay sculpture comes naturally to me. It is a huge passion of mine. Each piece is different and has separate characteristics. I love the feeling of soft clay and how it comes alive in my hands.
Photography I became interested in photography when I started surfing at a young age. Action surf and beach photography are my favorite scenes to capture. I like to document that moment in time when a surfer is pulling off a tough maneuver or just enjoying the ride. My bright and vibrant photos tend to mimic the ocean’s mood it creates for you when you arrive for a visit.
