Graphic Design
My graphic design practice spans community event branding, print advertising, merchandise design, and publication layout. I approach each project with a focus on clarity, visual storytelling, and purposeful composition; whether designing for a small business, nonprofit initiative, or arts-centered event.
This section highlights my work across multiple formats and audiences, including restaurant menus, magazine ads, apparel graphics, event collateral, and personal passion projects. Many of these pieces were created in collaboration with local institutions and cultural organizations, blending aesthetic appeal with clear communication and brand alignment.
The Mayton Inn

Special event graphics featuring custom typography and illustration

For Discover Downtown Cary events, hosted by the Town of Cary in partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, I designed cohesive marketing collateral:

Community Branding: Levitt AMP Littleton Music Series (2023)
Lakeland Cultural Arts Center / Levitt AMP - Littleton, NC
I designed the core visual identity for the inaugural Levitt AMP Littleton Music Series (Littleton, NC — the smallest U.S. town to receive the Levitt AMP grant). The design package included:
A bold logo for the concert series.
Artwork and layout for printed backdrop, posters, and event schedules.
Apparel graphics, event signage, and program booklets
These designs adhered to Levitt Foundation’s aesthetic guidelines while embracing the small-town identity of Lakeland Cultural Arts Center. The series served as a vital community activation project.
