This high-energy graphic is a tribute to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s incredible 2025 MVP season.

Designed to channel the energy of old-school basketball promos, the layout blends gritty textures, bold composition, and a moody atmosphere. The lightning bolts aren’t just for drama; they nod to the Thunder organization and the electric impact Shai brings to the court. The tagline, “Smooth like butter, sharp like Shai,” ties into the “Butter” colorway, the first pair Shai wore as part of the campaign ahead of the shoe’s official Fall 2025 release.

Logo Design: Quail Ridge Farm
This logo was designed to capture the heart of Quail Ridge Farm, its natural beauty, deep roots, and quiet strength. The rich green color was inspired by the trees surrounding the property, grounding the design in the Oklahoma landscape. The oval shape is a nod to the farm’s original wooden sign, keeping a bit of its rustic charm and history alive.

I developed an 80s Throwback Mixer for Parents Weekend, a nostalgic concept aimed at connecting with student parents who grew up in that era. The bold colors, splatter textures, and layered silhouettes reflect that decade's fun, high-energy vibe. The human figure, raised fist and all, was inspired by that unforgettable final scene in one of my favorite movies, The Breakfast Club, an iconic 80s film that still resonates today. It adds a subtle pop culture reference while tying into the overall vintage feel of the event.

I designed this editorial-inspired cover to kick off the Writing Samples section of my portfolio. Drawing visual inspiration from Vogue and classic magazine spreads, the layout blends bold typography, playful textures, and layered elements to reflect writing that makes a statement. The phrase “Inside the Issue” acts as a hook, inviting the viewer to dive in, just like opening the pages of a glossy editorial. With pops of personality, handwritten accents, and a touch of cool girl PR energy, this graphic sets the tone for copy that feels stylish, smart, and worth the read.
