A geometric negative space logo designed for a motiongraphics company, inspired by 90’s design. The goal was to make an abstract logo that can visually convey motion.

My concept for the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) Portfolio Day 2027 branding. Inspired by Y2K Futurism, I really wanted to lean into early internet culture, although I ended up pulling back a bit on that aesthetic to appear more professional.

Inspired by some of my friends and familys favorite birds. I mainly stuck to colourful birds as they make fun stickers. This was a lot of fun to draw and mess around with making my own brushes.

The main theme of Vertix is contrast. I really wanted to make a piece with two visual styles that look completely different from eachother. It was fun taking advantage of a wide canvas and mess around with a radical perspective. I was inspired by the works of Kenneth Whyte and fine art.

A poster made for the 2026 Midterm elections to encourage people to vote. A bold message with a relatively tame illustration; I wanted it to be bold and simple. It was originally much more abstract, showing the wireframes of the people, but was changed for readability. I also tried to stray away from using red, white and blue because I think it’s cliche.
