Membership
Applications
May 2025 | Firehouse Art Center
After leading the rebranding process and establishing the new brand color palette, I worked closely with the Grant and Development team to design a full membership drive campaign. This included a printed membership letter, refreshed member benefits, a custom tote bag, a redesigned membership application, new membership cards, and thank-you cards featuring artwork from children’s classes.
Semester
Booklets,
Rack Cards,
and brochure
Aug. 2024-May 2025 | Firehouse Art Center
The Firehouse runs four semesters of classes each year, offering creative programming for adults, teens, and children. For this project, the goal was to design materials that were not only eye-catching, but also engaging enough to guide people all the way to enrollment.
To do this, I created a series of printed course booklets that incorporated visual elements from the Firehouse itself—using its colorful murals, playful icons representing different art mediums, and bright imagery to highlight children’s classes. These pieces worked together to create an inviting, user-friendly experience that helped the booklets stand out as both informative and fun. As a result, the summer semester alone saw nearly 300 children enrolled.
In addition, I designed a multi-page brochure offering a clear, high-level overview of the Firehouse’s programming. The layout balances brief program descriptions with vibrant image pairings and consistent iconography to represent each art medium, making the information both accessible and visually engaging.
One of the students’ favorite activities involves creating art from torn paper—this inspired the design of the promotional rack card. I developed a layered, torn-paper collage aesthetic, integrating photos and illustrations that represent the wide range of classes and creative opportunities offered at the Firehouse.
Window Vinyl
May | Firehouse Art Center
During a comprehensive rebrand of the Firehouse Art Center, the team identified a need to update the building’s front-facing appearance. A large window at the entrance had become frosted on the inside, preventing visibility and detracting from the building’s visual appeal. This presented an opportunity to use the space as a branded communication tool that could both reflect the organization’s new identity and provide valuable information to the public.
A custom window vinyl was created using the Firehouse’s newly developed brand colors, fonts, and graphic style. The design included the mission statement, hours of operation, and social media details, all laid out with clarity and visual harmony. The vinyl not only served a functional purpose but also reinforced the Firehouse’s identity as a creative and community-centered organization.
Limited Edition
May 22-August 1, 2025 | Firehouse Art Center
For this exhibition, the goal was to bring the energy and storytelling of comic books into the gallery space. I designed a poster inspired by classic comic book strips, offering a sneak peek at select works featured in the show.
To carry the theme throughout the space, I created artist boards and a visual timeline using bold comic-inspired colors, Ben-Day dot textures, and movement lines — all hallmarks of the genre. These elements came together to form eye-catching signage that felt dynamic and immersive.
One of the most exciting parts of this project was scaling up original comic pages into oversized wall vinyls, measuring 65"x42". These large-scale installations transformed the space and allowed visitors to experience the artwork in a bold, new way.
Paw Prints & Portraits
Jan.-April 2025 | Firehouse Art Center
This project began with a lively photo shoot filled with wagging tails, slobbery smiles, and lots of curious sniffing. Once the photos were edited, I moved on to designing the posters and postcards, with a goal of capturing the fun, energetic spirit of the event while showcasing the adorable furry faces. To keep the artistic identity of the exhibition front and center, I incorporated playful background elements inspired by both pets and art—blending illustrations of bones, paint brushes, and other whimsical details.
To help draw visitors in, I also created custom vinyl paw prints that were placed along walkways to guide guests (and their four-legged companions) right to the gallery doors. The result was a campaign that was equal parts charming, creative, and community-driven.
Enmascarado: Luchadores in Cinema
Sept.-Oct. 2024 | Firehouse Art Center
“Enmascarado: Luchadores in Cinema” is a dynamic exhibition that pays tribute to the legendary El Santo and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its influence on global pop culture. The poster design was inspired by the bold graphic style of Luchador masks and the fantastical creatures El Santo famously battled—ranging from Dracula to the Wolfman.
The exhibition also featured an interactive activity called Color Palette Cinema Search. Visitors received a postcard displaying the ten most prominent colors from a specific movie poster. On the back, a bilingual clue (in English and Spanish) guided participants in identifying the film. Once matched, the postcard became a fun and memorable keepsake to take home.

Making Legends: Cosplay Culture
May 17-July 31, 2024 | Firehouse Art Center
Making Legends: Cosplay Culture was an exhibition at the Firehouse Art Center from May 17-July 31 2024. This exhibition was in collaboration with SOONERCON. In designing the signage for this show, the goal was to highlight the artist cosplays present, and to have a theme between the social media and gallery signs. This was achieved by creating a poster with half the cosplays presented in the show. In the middle of the poster is the guardian, the lines that make this character up can be found in all the social media post and gallery signage. The typeface used for the title is meant to give off a sense of fantasy and medieval feel that is felt in most of these world the cosplay comes from.
With an exhibition opening comes a lot of events to market. among these were dices boxes make by local wood working artist, Table Top Game Night and Live Mario Kart 8. Live Mario Kart is an event were participants play Mario kart while a live band and announcer guide the game play. It's not everyday you get to draw Catbus driving a Mario Kart at work.

Vanity Fur
Animal Issue
After taking this picture of Potter (above photo) I knew it belonged on the cover of a scandalous magazine.
The idea was to create a fun playful magazine from the animals point of view. Filled with current events about animals, that affect the entire world. For example, how camels are dying from ingesting water bottle waste, or how large number of starfish are dying from a new bacteria. Important stories that usually are not heard. Our pets are peoples pride and joy, we need to help them and animals around the world. Spreads coming soon!

Personality
Book, Poster
and Postcards
Who are you, is a book that looks into the nine Enneagram personalities. Each section focuses on one personality, looking at their strengths, weaknesses, interactions with others and what jobs may be perfect
for them. The sections each end with a quote that is meant to inspire that specific personality type. Each
section is separated by the color that represents that personality. The purpose of the book, is the more you
know, the better you can be. If you can understand why you think or act they way you do, then you have the ability to become a better you. The book is also meant to be an enjoyable read, that is different for everybody.

In support of the book, postcards and posters were created. The posters serve as a personality quiz. There
are nine questions, as you go through each, points are accumulated. Then check the key card to see which personality you fall into. Everyone has all nine personality traits, but there is always a dominate one. Our personality also changes based on our state of mine, whether we are stressed or upset. The point of the postcards is not to bring you down to one personality but to narrow you down to a few.

Once a person finds out their dominate personality they could get a poster with that specific type. It would have the best attribute of that type, along with three words that represent them. The posters are a celebration of who you are!
The textures created in the book, postcard and posters were made from a painting. Using all nine of the personality colors I made a paint pour. In the book these textures have an overlay of the personality color. The paintings show how the personalities are separate, but come together to create a masterpiece. The project was to show how we are all masterpieces.

TM Magazine
Covers
TM stands for Typographische Monatsblätter, which was an important journal that brought Swiss Typography
and Design to an international level. This became a standard in Typography. In this project three covers were created from the influence of TM Covers. The first used the repetition of 5, to create an integral pattern. The second consisted of allowing three different languages to coexist on one cover. The third was created by laying down gunpowder in the word Typography, and lighting it. The goal was to take a few picture before the paper caught fire.
