Recent graduate of Graphic Design Hons course at Arts University Bournemouth. Born and raised near Boston in Massachusetts, USA, now based in Dorset, UK. Believer that design can (and should) be used for good, with meaningful purpose and benevolent intent. An advocate for experimentation, thoughtfully-made creative risks and detail-oriented outcomes that strike through the heart of the brief. Lover of typography and design that makes you go, "Damn, I wish I'd thought of that."

Created for like-minded individuals looking to feel connected to a wider community, BookBoop introduces an incentive for book lovers to talk to new people by creating social channels centered around book recommendations.

- 'Indicates' ZineThis abstract zine was created with the goal of pushing my limits with experimental design. The zine trades legibility for visual interest, and explores the use of text as a graphic element to express color and texture. I created my own handmade fonts for use in this project, using ink to fingerpaint. All photos were taken by me. The zine uses the essay Our Contemporary Selfie Culture. The smiley face balloon is graffiti I found in Worcester, MA by an unknown artist. The photo of the wall of r
- Inspired AUBThe following Instagram post designs were inspired by the colorful, minimalist style of Inspired AUB , the social media page for the Arts University Bournemouth. The text on the posts is taken from the Arts University Bournemouth upcoming events page on their website. The vector graphics mimic the clean, funky vibe of Inspired AUB's actual posts, utilizing the color palette of pink, yellow, green and highly-saturated RGB blue. These posts were created as a personal design experiment and are n
- Anti-HostileAnti-Hostile is a typographic activist campaign that raises awareness of hostile architecture. Hostile architecture targets homeless, disabled and elderly people—it is park benches with center dividers that prevent laying down, leaning benches only suitable for the able-bodied, and “anti-homeless spikes” that prevent people from sleeping on sidewalks. This campaign educates the public about what hostile architecture truly accomplishes: it restricts, excludes and obstructs. Three posters have be
- Dead Girls Don't Fear the ReaperCreated for the Arts University Bournemouth Film Course for the 2022 student film "Dead Girls Don't Fear the Reaper". Film synopsis: "After her death, Phoebe haunts the institute for troubled children that she was trapped in, and attempts to contact her friend in an effort to not let something important go unsaid. But Phoebe is not the only ghost; she herself is haunted by the ghost of her childhood." The design is a visual synopsis: a cheeky teaser displaying all objects the protagonist inter
- Olfactory CatalogueOlfactory is an admittedly self-indulgent brand concept I created as a love letter to beautiful perfumes and their matching catalogues. I chose soft, warm colors such as gold, peach and pink to compliment the sweetness and warmth of my favorite types of perfume scents: florals and spices. The names of the perfumes were taken from song titles from artists I love, such as Queen, the Beatles, Muse, Mayday Parade and Gerard Way.
