The ski wrap design is my favorite and most passion filled project. I was searching for a new pair of skis but couldn't find any with a design that I liked. I felt it was a good opportunity to apply my design skills to create something personal for my own fulfillment and utilize my experience in print and physical print application. I wanted my skis to represent my brand and support my overall dream of designing skis and outdoor gear.

Fallen brand Redesign
The Fallen redesign was a three-week process that included researching the history of a company and conceptualizing some sketches to come up with a fresh new logo. I came up with eight ideas that I liked and felt would carry the same feel to the original logo and vectorized them. Fallen has always been geared towards young skaters and I tried to honor that sleek style. I also wanted to use some kind of Icon in the logo. After making some decisions, I combined some ideas to come up with a final product.

Digital Arts Showcase Icon
The Digital Arts Showcase icon was a small project I created for an art showcase at my school.

This digital drawing piece was created using only Adobe Photoshop and was inspired by my passion for the outdoors and snow. There was no direct instruction for this project, and it was my first time experimenting with depth and landscape digital drawing.

5k Run Poster
This poster was created as a project focused on interpreting the specifications of an event and being able to design a poster that conveyed the tone and feel of the event. I chose to represent an annual 5k run that raised money for cleaning up the shores of Narragansett Rhode Island. I wanted to stick with a true blue, oceanic feel. I needed to keep a respectful, wholesome, and traditional style because this 5k has been going on for generations.
