Kendall Restroom Sign (Left)
One of the most interesting designs that I had the pleasure of creating while employed at Visible Graphics was this custom bathroom sign for Kendall Signs. The owner wanted the aluminum face to help offset the dense purple color. Her main point of this project was "Make it pretty!"

Willshire Blvd. Frontage Layout (Below)
This work example was created as a starting point to a vinyl layout that was to be attached to the first surface of the glass in front of a bank. I created several of these for incoming contracts to give our sign manufacturers (as well as clients) a detailed idea of where everything needed to be sized, cut, and placed.

Aritzia West Edmonton Mall Site Drawing (Below)
This site drawing was part of the Aritzia brand replacing old signage with their new, updated design. The site drawings always needed to include location (both exterior and interior), sign layout, sideview details, and how to manufacture the signs for placement. Once these designs were approved, they were sent into the shop to be created.

Facing the Unexpected Book Cover (Below)
Quote from the author who commissioned the cover design:
"It’s a young adult/new adult book about a girl who has been raped. Follows her journey. The theme throughout is that one person can start a domino effect of change. The title is Facing the Unexpected. Originally, I picture like black and white with red and journal paper with writing almost, but I honestly don’t know how I see it anymore. It’s set in a small town though and the main scene in the story is on a back road. So then I thought about centering it around that."

Fairmont State University Career Fair Floor Plan (Below)
One of the earliest drawings that I created professionally was part of my internship at FSU. A new floor plan was needed for the upcoming career fair and the original file had been corrupted. This was my first chance to work with outside groups to create a layout and final site plan. (Created using InDesign & Excel)
Fairmont State University Brochure
(Below)
One of my personal favorite opportunities during my internship was the chance to rebrand our outdated brochure of class schedules. I implemented a new flowing design, along with updated colors and signage from the university. (Created using InDesign)
