social media

In the realm of social media, I have worked extensively with Artistic Edge Dance Centre and The Collective Movement to develop content for use across all social platforms. Highlighted below are some of my most recent and favorite pieces I've done for both organizations. For a look into all of the work I've done, feel free to download my social portfolio or view my gondola.

digital design

Through the Graphic Communications major at Clemson, I've had endless opportunities to design a wide variety of digital graphics as well as experiment in photography. Every assignment is so unique and the professors are so open to any and all ideas the students have. Below are some of the fun things I've made thus far!

artistic collage of water with large mountains, a girl reading a book tucked between the mountain peaks, and a street sign set of three square cards; the front reads 'happy birth-tay' and '(no weeping in a party bathroom)' with heart-eye sunglasses in red; the back reads 'may your birthday have no jake gyllenhaals' infographic comparing the benefits and negatives of celsius and coffee

photography

Ever since I was young, I've always loved being behind the camera. The vision is truly yours to control and I think there's something so special about that. Throughout the years I've gained knowledge in camera settings and techniques and started experimenting with editorial style and dance photography.

merchandise design

Over the past few years, I had the opportunity to design the annual merchandise for Artistic Edge Dance Centre. I collaborate with the Artistic Director to develop a concept that is the basis for all of the merchandise. From this point, I individually design some graphics and pieces before revising and creating mock-ups to send to the Owner, Artistic Director, and print company. This entire process has given me tremendous insight into the process of working with external companies and various file formats.
