Graphic Design Portfolio

My graphic design work has evolved naturally out of my website design work, and vice versa. Much of my graphic design and art overlaps as I use original art that I create in my graphic design work. I strive to create images that represent the person and their brand.

Brand Boards

Project:

Hiraeth & Hollow


Type:

Visual Identity Design (Self-Initiated)


Description:
A conceptual branding project for a fictional sustainable home goods brand. The goal was to create a minimalist logo and wordmark that reflects organic elegance, quiet luxury, and poetic warmth. The final design features a custom monogram “H” entwined with vine-like botanical elements, paired with a serif-script wordmark for a refined, natural aesthetic.

Keys to Life Brand Board

Project: Keys to Life

Client: Keys to Life Women’s Community (Florida)


Type: Brand Identity & Web Design


Role: Graphic Designer & Brand Consultant


Year: 2025

Description:
I worked closely with Edlyn G., founder of Keys to Life, to develop a strong and cohesive visual identity for this Florida-based women’s community. Keys to Life connects women over 40 through shared experiences centered on growth, transformation, and joy.

Together, we refined the brand's logo, established a playful yet confident color palette, and selected typography that felt both modern and feminine. The visual system was applied across the website and digital materials to create a welcoming, empowering, and consistent brand presence.

The final identity balances warmth and vitality, reflecting the spirit of a community designed to celebrate new life chapters with strength and style.

Rhythm for Renewal

Client: Rhythm for Renewal – Drumming Instruction


Type: Brand Identity Design


Role: Graphic Designer


Year: 2024

Description:
I collaborated with the founder of Rhythm for Renewal, a drumming instructor and wellness guide, to create a brand identity that visually reflects her holistic philosophy. Her practice focuses on helping individuals engage with life’s natural rhythms through drumming—connecting body, mind, and spirit.

To represent this concept, I designed circular logos that emphasize the cyclical, ongoing nature of rhythm. Inspired by organic growth and the passage of time, I incorporated tree imagery and tree rings—symbols of layered experience, grounding, and rhythm unfolding across years.

 

The resulting identity is earthy, meditative, and enduring—inviting viewers into a practice that is both personal and deeply rooted.

Opossumopolis branding

The Recording Studio

Opossumopolis Poster

Overview:
I worked with Opossumopolis Recording Studio, an independent music studio based in Los Osos, California, to develop a playful and distinctive visual identity. The studio’s offbeat name and creative ethos inspired a hand-crafted approach that blends whimsy with regional character.

Project Scope:

  • Custom hand-drawn poster illustration

  • Logo design

  • Brand board showcasing logo variations, color palette, and type treatments

 

Poster Design:
The featured poster depicts an opossum playing guitar, layered over a view of the California coastline from Broderson Peak, a beloved lookout point in Los Osos. The artwork combines the musical spirit of the brand with a touch of surreal, magical realism—rooting the studio in its coastal environment and imaginative culture.

Visual Style:

  • Hand-drawn, organic linework

  • Whimsical and location-specific

  • Earthy, psychedelic-inspired color palette

Flyers

Rhythm for Renewal Flyers

Working with Rhythm For Renewal again, I designed two flyers to advertise for drum classes. In one, the teacher requested her photo be present, and in the other I have used the white border to continue the design of the tree.

Social Media

I approach social media design as visual storytelling—each post a small piece of a larger narrative. My goal is to create content that feels both beautiful and purposeful: consistent in branding, emotionally resonant, and tailored to the rhythms of online audiences.

Nori Creative

At Nori Creative, I design social media content that tells stories — not just sells products. Each graphic is crafted to reflect a brand’s voice, values, and visual world, blending thoughtful composition with a sense of narrative and care. My goal is to create feeds that feel alive: cohesive, intentional, and deeply human.

Book Covers

The Tower Book Cover

The Tower

Personal Project | Book Cover Design
Role: Designer & Author
Year: 2024

Overview:
This is a custom book cover I designed for The Tower, a novel I’m currently writing. The story explores themes of wealth, illusion, and power within a gilded high-rise. To visually reflect the stark contrast between the opulence inside and the world outside, I combined detailed antique imagery with subdued, symbolic elements.

Design Concept:
The central image features a gold-beveled, antique frame enclosing a portrait of The Tower as it appears from the outside—shining yet remote, almost unreachable. Behind it hangs a weathered American flag, hinting at the story’s broader themes of legacy, nationalism, and societal decay. The author’s name is placed below in minimalist, elegant type to maintain balance.

Visual Style:

  • Gilded, vintage-inspired frame and architecture

  • Muted, distressed textures for a weathered, haunting atmosphere

  • Symbolic use of national iconography and high contrast composition
