Magazine Feature Spreads
As the art director for Lancaster County Magazine I get to collaborate with amazing writers and photographers to design how readers interact with their work. Storytelling is my favorite aspect of design and I particularly love being able to help celebrate the stories of so many folks that make up our local community. Creating unique and expressive typography for each story brings me so much joy.

Books & Other Projects
Mammal: Lost Visions
This project included branding, promotional posters, religious studies research and a book for a museum exhibition. I began with research into shamanic art-making traditions in 3 different cultures. I compiled my work in to a handmade spiral bound exhibition book that included vellum page overlays illustrating the shamanic practices that revolve around seeing between worlds lifting veils of knowledge incorporating art from each culture. The logo itself for Mammal is a drew inspiration from ancient tribal and religious carvings, particularly from the Maori.
I carried the concept for the book through to the posters with layered photo illustrations that collage cultural elements and vision images from each shamanic culture and depictions of shamans themselves. (student work, completed at Tyler School of Art)
NYT Magazine Covers
This series of prospective illustrative covers for included my illustration style that employs digital reductive drawing in combination with digital collage and hand watercolor. (student work, completed at Tyler School of Art)
Process Magazine: Dada Feature
This feature and cover for Process Magazine began with research into the Dada art movement within surrealism. I incorporated my own Dada-inspired typographic elements and collages along with the art and information from the movement itself. (student work, completed at Tyler School of Art)
Small Space: Big Design Catalog
A handmade spiral bound catalog for an Italian furniture collection designed to be modular, expandable and contractable for making the most of small spaces. I reflected their living system concept and modern design aesthetic through the vellum overlays and fold-out page inserts displaying the furniture pieces in its varied forms. The color saturated fold-out pages were incorporated into large spacious pages giving each design a clear stage. Separating the sections were full-bleed color saturated and stylized photos that commanded the space of the expansive pages and provided a more immersive experience as well.

Edgar Allan Pie
The menu from my restaurant identity project, Edgar Allan Pie. The menu included ornamental gothic typography and a combination of collage and hand-drawn elements and interactive pull-outs like the wine specials balloon shown above. The overall branding of the project took inspiration from Poe’s works and writing style with a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. (student work, completed at Tyler School of Art)
