Terrible Things
Graduate School Project, 2019
I wanted to experiment with both relief printing and digital animation, and attempted to create a project that would combine the two. Inspired by Russian folklore and the concept of childhood memory, I first storyboarded an animation and then selected four frames that I thought I would be able to pull most of my animated assets from. Those frames were then revised, transferred to linoleum blocks, hand carved, and used to create relief prints. Once the prints were pulled I scanned them, digitized them, and used those digital assets to create the final animation in Adobe After Effects.
In addition to the four frames that I carved, I also created two small character studies that were printed in red and blue, then overprinted. I wanted to further tell the story, using the overprint to highlight a "transformation" between the sweet old lady in blue to the red witch.

Oracle Brewing Package Design
Student Work, 2018
Oracle Brewing is a fictional brewery I created for a 2018 package design class. Heavily inspired by paper cut illustration and mid-century aesthetics, I wanted to create a series of labels with a strong, visual identity that would stand out on a store shelf.

Chatham Alumni Characters
For Chatham University's 150th Anniversary website, I was asked to design a series of characters that would represent different alumni archetypes. Alumni had the ability to share their stories to be featured on the website, and these character illustrations and badges accompanied them. Ultimately there were only stories for the first seven characters, so only a partial badge set was requested.
The characters below are as follows: The Mentor, The Healer, The Expat, The Phoenix, The Creator, The Glass Ceiling Smasher, The Daredevil, The Grower, The Outlier, The Upholder, The Veteran, and The Politico.
Chatham Class of 2020
When Chatham University's 2020 spring commencement was cancelled due to COVID-19, the marketing team worked together quickly to put together a website with videos, activities, and interactive content to honor and celebrate the Class of 2020 virtually. I was contacted and asked to make a series of hand drawn assets to help with the celebration. My contributions included animated GIFs, Facebook cover photos, an Instagram story template, and two Facebook profile picture frames.
