Speed friending

For this order, the sophomore class was putting on an event to bring sophomores together in hopes to build new friendships. They originally requested that the design should feature photographs of children watching TV. In order to avoid any confusion as to the target market of the ads, I suggested using an illustration instead.

Veracity

Veracity is a brewery product line that Alpha Chemical developed which changes color to indicate when equipment is clean.
I was given the task to create a logo which would convey the products’ color changing feature. The products’ change from either pink or blue to yellow. I kept the logo simple because it had to work well alongside the existing Alpha logo.

This was one of the product labels I created with a blue to yellow gradient to quickly show the customer what colors the product will turn.

This is a large booth display I designed for the 2018 Craft Brewer’s conference in Nashville, TN.

Leaf

I really enjoy capturing little moments in nature that many people may overlook.
Here is a little leaf that had just fallen onto a patch of moss I noticed on a fall stroll through the woods.

Matilda

I love to photograph people, especially children. It's so amazing to be able to capture a moment in time, especially a moment in a child's life, because they grow up so fast.

Snowy Mailbox

A few years back I noticed that when the temperature is just right you can see beautifully intricate snowflakes with the naked eye.
Here is a cluster of snowflakes I noticed that landed on my mailbox on a stormy winter day.

Nora

Here is one of many portraits I have taken during senior photo shoots. I really like to take portraits outside with natural light and simple woodsy surroundings.

Answered

This is a music video I created one night which goes along to the song Answered by Josh Garrels.

Grannie Memorial

This is a slideshow I created for my Grandmother's memorial service using the photos program from Apple. I received a lot of great feedback and realized that a lot of families and funeral homes could benefit from a service that highlights the life of those who have passed away. Since 2011 I have been consistently creating these slideshows for a number of funeral homes around Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I pick up photos which families drop off at the funeral home, scan them, create a slideshow, burn DVDs and return the photos along with the new slideshow all within 24 hours.

Design Final

I took a 3D synthesis foundations course and for my final project I needle felted a sculpture of my hand. My professor knew I was interested in video and stop-motion, and encouraged me to make a short video of my sculpture for the final class critique.

Camping Promo

Every year, the youth group at my church goes on a camping trip to Rangely, Maine. This is a short promotional video I made which highlights some of the fun things they do on these trips in hopes to get more kids to sign up to go.

Robots

I have always liked antique toy robots and they had been the subject in a lot of pieces I made in my Foundations In Digital Media class. For my final assignment, I had to create a video after learning how to use Final Cut Pro. In this video, I document the process of making miniature robot heads which I use in the ending stop motion scene.

Camping Trip

Since 2011, I have been going up with my church's youth group to Rangeley, Maine for a 4-day camping trip. I always enjoy taking photos on this trip, but in 2014 I decided to record a bunch of video and make a "home movie" with my new DSLR camera. I had so much fun making this video and love that I can share it with other people to give them a feel for how great these trips are.

Charlestown, RI Brochure

In the fall of 2015, in my graphic design IV class, I had a semester long assignment of creating a 7-spread travel brochure. Growing up, my father had a beach house in Charlestown, RI. To this day it's known as "one of the best kept secrets in Rhode Island". I have spent every summer visiting it's beautiful beaches, so naturally this was the perfect destination for me to choose for my brochure.
Except for a few supporting images found online, most of the the photographs featured were taken by myself. Originally, my professor discouraged me from doing this, and even choosing Charlestown as a subject matter, but in the end he was very pleased. This is one of my favorite pieces because it's a place that is close to my heart and it is my hope that it reads that way.

Good Girl

In the fall of 2015, I took an advanced typography class. For this assignment, we were required to create type using different materials. The material we chose had to correlate with the message we were conveying. I chose milkbone dog treats as my material to spell out "good girl".

Bread Box Packaging Design

In the spring of 2016 for my graphic design V class, I had to design and create my own packaging. I decided to keep it simple, and created this organic looking packaging for bread inspired by antique bread boxes. I realized that bread is always being squished, so I came up with this solution for artisan breads. This packaging safely transports bread from store to home and doubles as a recyclable bread box for your counter.

Confetti Quote

In the spring of 2016, I took an independent study course with my graphic design professor where I was given the assignment to choose 10 inspirational quotes and then solve them typographically. This is one of the 10.

Quiltees - Design for Good

In graphic design III, I had a semester long assignment of designing for good. I was given the task to create my own company and design all of the marketing materials that would go along with it. I created Quiltees, a company that takes donated T-shirts and upcycles them into handcrafted quilts for the homeless.

Handbound Typography Book

In the fall of 2015, I took an advanced typography class. For our final assignment, we were given 6 weeks to create a 72-page book. Using two unrelated and pre-existing texts, we had to connect these differing "voices" together. For my book, I decided to choose conflicting song lyrics from Ray Lamontagne and Fiona Apple. Using InDesign, I blended these lyrical poems together through unexpected layouts, contrasting type, and supporting graphics. I then printed, cut, and hand-stitched the book together.
