Do all things with self love

I don’t really believe in New Year’s resolutions, stressing yourself out, setting yourself up for failure - but what I do believe in, is believing in yourself. This upcoming year we’re going to do things with intention, mindfulness, and a whole lot of self love.

WQAQ promo materials

Throughout college I was very involved with Quinnipiac's radio station 98.1 WQAQ. My junior and senior year I was the station's Music Manager. One responsibility of mine was to book all of our shows, such as our Music For Meals charity concert in the Fall and our Spring Fest every Spring. Above are promotional materials for some of the events that I put together. With 420 attendees, the final show that I booked with Alex G, Pinegrove, Half Waif, and Crying had the highest attendance of any show the org had previously hosted.

Pals app

If you have a pet they are family, and you always want what’s best for family. The PALS app was a redesign of a mobile application called Your Vet. It had good content but the UX and UI were not well designed. The app also had limited functionality so I decided to make it into an app that would have all of your pet needs and information in one place.

This was done for a UX class at Quinnipiac University.

Created using Illustrator, Sketch, and Invision

Craft Beer Guild internship

During this internship I designed and produced print Point-of-Sale and social media marketing materials for a nation-wide beverage distributor at six locations across the U.S. These locations were Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, San Diego and Los Angeles. I worked within branding standards for hundreds of breweries, distilleries, and wineries. I also orchestrated environmental design installations in the local Connecticut market. Above is a few select pieces from my time working with the company. All pieces in collaboration with Sheehan Family Companies.

Trailer Park Boys title sequence

Know a show where you just have to fast forward through that dreadful title sequence no matter how short it may be? We all do. This project was to take a title sequence that just wasn’t cutting it and redesign it to make it much more interesting while still sticking to the feel of the show. I chose to do the show Trailer Park Boys and stick to some simple line drawings. For the full effect make sure you watch with sound! *burps*

Manic Panic package redesign

Manic Panic is a hair dye that is well known and well trusted. The packaging however is busy and visually not very appealing. Redesigning this label was a really fun project to work on. The new label has a much cleaner design while still maintaining a bit of that edgy look, especially in the hand lettered logo. Now, who wants to dye their hair purple?

Wrap It Up condom package design

Where better to promote safe sex than from the front lines, screaming to you off of the pharmacy shelf? This box was meant to stand out among the rest, to really catch the younger crowds attention, and to have a conversation with the consumer - whether it’s to remind or teach them about the reasons you should wrap. it. up.

Instrument illustrations

These pieces were created for a campaign project for a class at Quinnipiac University. The project was for a mock non profit event called Find Your Way Fest. The organization helps people who are struggling find themselves through music.

Hayao Miyazaki illustration

“Many of my movies have strong female leads – brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” - Hayao Miyazaki
