My Work
As a graphic designer, my creativity knows no bounds. I draw inspiration from the world around me, from the delicate balance of nature to the intricate geometry of urban landscapes. Each project is an opportunity to explore new ideas, experiment with color palettes, and push the boundaries of visual expression. I thrive on the challenge of translating complex concepts into visually engaging and understandable designs.
​
Clean lines, harmonious color schemes, and thoughtful typography are my tools of choice. These elements, when combined with my creative touch, transform ordinary visuals into extraordinary works of art. Whether it's a logo, a website, or a printed brochure, I approach every project with the same dedication to crafting designs that resonate with the target audience.
I understand that the ultimate purpose of design is to connect with people, to convey a message, and to evoke emotions. I strive to create designs that not only look appealing but also function seamlessly. Each pixel is meticulously placed, and every choice of font or color is a deliberate step towards enhancing user experience.
​
In a world inundated with visual noise, my clean and simple designs stand out as beacons of clarity and elegance. I believe that simplicity is a timeless design language that transcends trends and fads, ensuring that my work remains relevant and impactful.
​
As a creative force in the field of graphic design, I am committed to pushing the envelope, challenging conventions, and crafting designs that leave a lasting impression. My journey is one of continuous learning and evolution, driven by a deep-seated passion for the art of visual storytelling.
In a nutshell, I am a graphic designer who thrives on creative simplicity, transforming ideas into visuals that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful and effective. My work is a testament to the power of clean, elegant design, and I am excited to continue this journey of creativity and innovation in the world of graphic design.

ND Champions Club Ad
This piece was created to bring awareness and gratitude to our donors. The life of a student-athlete is a balancing act through their college time on campus as they juggle their academic schedule as well as their sports demands. I was responsible for the art direction, photography and design of this ad.
02
Social Media Graphic
Simple social media graphic to promote the story of a student and how grateful she is for the donor and the opportunity of higher education. The design elements repeat and reflect the University's branding with the hashmarks and directional arrows. These elements will be incorporated throughout all UND campus marketing material.
03
Wedding Mailing Invite
The GO Show is an annual event and this was created as a 2-sided mailer.
04
Holiday Invitation
I was responsible for the photography, design and creative direction of this product. I chose a "Brady Bunch" grid style to convey the "family" of the staff, students and faculty around campus. The balance of fun and laughter with the simple color palette of just green and black. I decided on keeping the center image (President and First Lady) in color as that would be the focal point and draw the eye in.
05
Info Graphic
Champions Club is a fundraising organization for the University of North Dakota student-athletes. This is a flyer to promote the statistics of their accomplishments. I chose to use a variety of graphics to minimize repetition but to also be informative.
06
College of Business Toolkit
We designed one for each of the seven colleges on campus. This specific piece was designed for the College of Business with the direction to highlight the achievements of both past and present as well as the future goals. The layout is split between info-graphics and story pages to break up the repetition from the reader.
07
Alumni Review Cover Design
The cover story to this addition was on alcohol addiction and how he overcame the struggle. I wanted the image to be serious and large "in your face" impact on the cover. The color toning for black and white adds to the drama.
08
Mailer/Magnet
This is an example of a bifold self mailer. This was unique as we added a magnet to the inside. The Athletic Director wanted a more "athletic" feel to the piece so gradients and overlays were incorporated to achieve the desired look.

Wedding Photographer Logo
The concept behind this logo design was to keep it simple for easy reproduction as well as making it usable in one color. The "M" in the logo represents a bowtie to bring in the formal aspect of weddings. Keeping it black and white also brings in a wedding feel such as a tuxedo.
13
Hanson Realty Logo
The idea in this logo design was to use the negative space to create the "h" and also blend architecture into the logo. Using different gradients of gray helps create the illusion.
14
Alumni Magazine Logo
This logo was rebranded into a square format to give a more modern feel. Having it square also helped with placement and layout withthin the magazine. On campus, there is a flame that is called the Eternal Flame and it is always lit. Having it in the logo helps tie it to campus.

Team Rhino is a social media group looking for an abstract logo to brand their team.
