Eagle Logo – Christian School Athletics
This was a logo I created for a Christian school that my brother-in-law works with. I’m not really a sports guy, so I spent a good bit of time researching what makes a strong, bold sports logo. I worked closely with their team, taking in a lot of feedback and adjusting the design until it felt right for them. I built it in Affinity Designer and made sure it was clean and scalable so they could use it for uniforms, merch, or any kind of branding they needed. It was a great learning experience in balancing strong visuals with what the client actually needed. 

Buke and Gase – Club Café Promo Poster
This was a promotional ad I made during my internship with Mr. Smalls Theatre for a show at Club Café. I wanted the headliners to be the main visual draw, so I placed the text directly between them to make their name feel connected and central to the image. It was a simple layout, but I felt like it created a strong focal point and balanced the energy between the two performers. This project helped me get more confident in thinking through layout choices that aren’t just readable, but also feel intentional. 

Club Café – AcoustiCafe Open Stage Poster
This was the first poster I ever made for Club Café during my time with Mr. Smalls Theatre. It was created to promote their weekly open mic acoustic nights. I was proud to incorporate the music notes rising in the coffee steam — it was one of the first times I tried mixing illustration and design elements to tell a story. Looking back, it definitely feels like early work, but it’s a good reminder of where I started and how far I’ve come. It taught me a lot about layout, atmosphere, and working within brand themes. 

Cleveland Sound and Lighting – Logo & Banner Design
This was a branding project I did for Cleveland Sound and Lighting. I created the logo and overall visual identity for them, including this banner header. I wanted the first thing people saw to reflect exactly what they do, so I went with a concert stage setup to show off the lighting and energy of their work. The mix of shadows, lights, and crowd silhouettes helped highlight what they’re all about, while the logo gives them a clean, bold identity. It was important to me that the branding felt professional but still captured that live show atmosphere they’re known for.

One Pet At A Time – Branding & File Prep Support
This was a project I worked on for a family friend who runs a therapy pet ministry. While I didn’t create the original sketch of the logo, I was brought in to help digitize it and make it usable across different formats — from print materials to web use. I also helped consult on the overall branding, making sure everything felt cohesive and clean. As part of the process, I walked them through how different file types work, like when to use PNGs vs. vector files, and helped set up everything they’d need for future advertising or printing. It was a simple but meaningful project I was happy to support. 

One Pet At A Time – Real-World Mockups & File Education
As part of the branding support for One Pet At A Time, I also created mockups like this one to show how the logo would look in real-world uses — including window decals and their mobile therapy truck. It was a great way to explain how vector files work, especially for printing on glass, vehicles, and other surfaces where scalability matters. I walked them through the difference between file types and how to prep artwork for different materials. This helped them feel more confident using their branding in future outreach and events. 

One Pet At A Time – Stationery Mockup & Brand Versatility
To help show how flexible the logo could be, I put together this full stationery set. Even though the logo has a playful, cartoony style, I wanted to show that it could still look polished and professional when needed. This helped the client see how the brand could work across both casual and formal materials — from thank-you notes to donation letters. It also tied into the bigger goal of building a complete, consistent look that could grow with her business. 

Twitch Overlay – DJJMusic
This was a custom Twitch overlay I created for DJJMusic. He sent me a few layouts from streamers he liked, and I used that as inspiration to build something that fit his vibe and needs. The TV in the center is transparent so he can feature new albums or songs during his streams. I also added his Spotify scan code, social links, and affiliations in a way that’s easy to see but doesn’t get in the way of the content. The wall of speakers and vinyl in the background ties into his music side without boxing him in — since he also streams games and other content. The goal was to balance identity and functionality while keeping the design clean and flexible. 

Music Family Emote – DJJMusic
When I first started working with DJJMusic, he asked me to redesign his “Music Family” emote. I wanted to create something that felt bold and unified, and also tied into the roots of his sound. I pulled inspiration from NWA’s Straight Outta Compton artwork — not just for the look, but for the message of community and legacy through music. The end result is simple and powerful, something that stands out clearly on screen and still feels deeply connected to his style and values. 

Album Art – “Something Different” by DJJMusic
This was the cover I created for DJJMusic’s album Something Different. All he gave me was the title, and the phrase “Lizard Wizard” just popped into my head. I ran with it, combining stock images and some heavy photo manipulation to bring the concept to life. I wanted it to be bold, weird, and instantly memorable — something that would stand out from the sea of templated album art. It ended up becoming his most-viewed album to date, and I’m really proud of how the final image captured both the unexpected vibe of the music and the title itself. 

WillowBrook Alpacas – Logo & Product Tag Design
This was one of the first logos I ever made, for WillowBrook Farms — a small alpaca farm that sold handmade goods like fleece blankets, sweaters, and felted soap sleeves. The family was really involved and clear about what they wanted, which helped a lot while I was still learning. I’ll be honest, I cringe a little looking back at it now, because I know I could do so much better today. But they’ve stuck with it for years and still use it proudly, which means something to me. I keep it in my portfolio as a reminder of how far I’ve come and how every project, no matter how early, helped shape my path as a designer. 

Tron Light Cycle – Wireframe Illustration
This was a school project where I recreated the Tron Light Cycle as a wireframe in Adobe Illustrator. It ended up being a huge lesson for me in patience and persistence. My first attempt actually crashed and corrupted the file, so this was my second full build — done in just three days. I spent hours in the computer lab making sure I could still turn in something I was proud of. This piece taught me to save often, manage my time better, and trust that the details will come if I keep at it. It’s one of those projects I look back on and remember just how far I was willing to push to get it done. 

Tron Light Cycle – Full Color Vector Illustration
This is the final colored version of the Tron Light Cycle project, built entirely in Adobe Illustrator. After completing the wireframe, I wanted to push the design further and really capture the sleek, glowing style from the film. It was all done using vector shapes, gradients, and layering — no 3D tools involved. Getting the reflections and lighting effects right took a lot of experimenting, but it really showed me how much depth you can create with just Illustrator when you commit to the process. Between the technical work and the creative challenge, this ended up being one of the most rewarding pieces I’ve made. 

Tron Light Cycle – Line-to-Color Composite
This image combines the original wireframe and final colored versions of the Tron Light Cycle to show the evolution of the project. I wanted to highlight how much of the final detail came from the groundwork of the line art, and how layering in color, lighting, and gradients transformed it. Seeing both sides together still surprises me — it’s one of those pieces that really showed me what I was capable of when I pushed through. I’m proud of how it turned out, and it reminds me how far I’ve come with patience, focus, and just sticking to the process. 

Anchor Point Imagery – Personal Brand Concept
This was a personal logo I designed for a potential creative brand called Anchor Point Imagery. The goal was to bring all my skills — design, video, branding, and content creation — under one name. The mark itself is full of little visual references: the base suggests a ship anchor, but also hints at “anchor points” used in Adobe software. The overall shape nods to old-school rail cameras with a tripod base, while the square form and small dot also resemble a floppy disk or a camera’s red recording light. Even though I haven’t launched the brand yet, this was a labor of love and a great reminder of how design can pack meaning into something simple.
