I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a passion for creative storytelling. My work explores the intersection of design and illustration, combining playful experimentation with intentional design thinking. I’m interested in all facets of the design world, but more particularly brand design, print, packaging, and illustration. When I’m not designing, I’m making moodboards on Pinterest or sketching cool outfits I see around town. 

BODUM is a specialty coffee maker brand known for its simple, modern design — from French presses to vacuum brewers. This rebrand transforms its packaging into a more eye-catching, shelf-ready system, positioning BODUM as artsy and artisanal for coffee connoisseurs. Geometric forms reflect product simplicity, while bold colors evoke rich roasts. Craft sits at the core, expressed through hand-inspired illustration and a textured, craft-paper aesthetic—resulting in an elevated identity that stands out with a clear message: BREW BOLD.

This project expands Feta’s Greek from a food truck into a fast-casual restaurant, rebranding it as a lively, contemporary hangout known for its gyros. Building on existing elements like the goat logo and signature red, the identity breaks from traditional blue-and-white Greek branding to feel more energetic and approachable. A visual system of Greek key motifs and playful, mythology-inspired copy reinforces its personality — resulting in a dynamic brand that reflects everything from fresh feta salads to crispy falafel.

 The campaign aimed to showcase Waterdrop’s innovative approach to flavoring water through its signature dissolvable cube, emphasizing both the product’s vibrant taste and refreshing experience. Guided by the slogan “little cube, big flavor,” the concept centers on the brand’s most recognizable element, the cube, as the visual and conceptual foundation of the ads. Bright, dynamic illustrations of fruit emerging from the cube highlight the variety and intensity of flavors, while the overall design reinforces Waterdrop’s established brand identity throughout the campaign.

The opera "Manon" follows the messy romance of a young girl set in 19th-century France. The illustrated poster for The Metropolitan Opera features Manon in a bedazzled powdered wig, with her suitors' faces in profile hidden in the sides of her wig. The ribbons and hair strands reflect the way that Manon and her suitors' lives are entangled. 

For this project, my partner Kalli Ward and I designed an eight-page annual report for HABRI, the Human Animal Bond Research Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to studying the mental and emotional health benefits of pet companionship. The report highlights the organization’s research accomplishments and key statistical findings, presented through a design language that balances scientific clarity with an approachable, friendly tone. Creative data visualizations bring the statistics to life, making the information engaging and accessible.
