Table of ContentsSummary of the artist

It feels as though my life’s experience has culminated into this moment— wherein

I get to present my work to you, and to the world. What began as an early childhood

affinity for constructing mud pies in the backyard evolved into hours spent beading

accessories for prom and embossing hand-made greeting cards. My craftsmanship took

many forms, allowing me to hone my skills in a variety of media and learn to express my

vision in unique ways. Design became my primary focus at the University of Oregon, and I

am excited to make it my career.

I strongly believe that artists in the field of digital arts must be dynamic, capable

of pushing the boundaries of design, and technically skilled to help clients see their

ideas realized. My diverse experiences and genuine desire to help allow me to devise

novel solutions to complex design challenges. I am generous with my time, energy, and

creative input.

This portfolio contains a (by no means complete) collection of my personal and

professional projects. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me through my work.

I hope you enjoy.

in Adobe Illustrator. Each of the four layers was then desaturated, inverted, and

made into photopolymer plates to be used on the

bed of the letterpress.

Non-Profit WorkI have spent countless hours working with Worth A Dam— an organization dedicated to maintaining the Martinez Beavers in Alhambra Creek through responsible stewardship, creative problem solving, community involvement, and education. I work alongside the organization’s founder, Heidi Perryman, to re-invent existing protional materials and create new awareness of the cause.

I made the silhouettes below using adobe Illustrator. A

metal sculptor in Martinez, CA then used my drawings to create a sculpture located in

“Beaver Park” to memorialize this mother beaver and her

three young kits

Before & After

Skanska, I learned how to craft

technically detailed and eye-catching

proposals. I completed this proposal

entire document totaled 37 pages.

Letterpress

“Darwin’s Sublime”Letterpress

The “Haptic Eye” production team collaboratively

designed and hand-set this book in just ten weeks. In

addition to all creative aspects of the project, we

were also responsible for the marketing and accounting.

Our team produced and sold 75 copies of the book.

both pages:

“Crossed Lines” & “Spun”Letterpress

These two projects were created in one ten-week

advanced letterpress course. The text was hand-set and

printed on a vandercook press, while images were

created digitally and transferred to photopolymer

plates. Each examines issues of communication in a

different way.

both pages

These prints were made using the lithographic process based on the mutual repulsion of oil and water. The images were drawn by hand on either limestone or aluminum plates. Each color represents a separate press run. In total, I made about 20 copies of each print.

For this project, the bride gave me three colors and an image of a bird to incorporate

into the invitation. From there, I designed and assembled over 100 custom pocket
