Winner of "Best of Category - Visual Communication Design" Ohio State Department of Design 2009 Spring Exhibition. My senior thesis focused on creating a child friendly wayfinding system for Nationwide Childrens Hospital. By creating a friendly and easily traversable environment, children would feel more at ease in an unfamiliar space.
During the winter of 2009 the senior design class at Ohio State worked in conjunction with LPK and Proctor & Gamble to redesign the current brand identity of the Herbal Essences shampoo series. I took a more organic approach and developed this system that incorporates different colors and graphics for each product line.
This project focused on the individuals ability to generate content and interpret data. Initially a topic was chosen based on the criteria of it being a series cycle or evolution. I chose the cycle of the Mayan calendar system and showed visually how the cycle works and how the Mayans used their architecture as a means of depicting it.
This identity was developed for the University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio (UCEAO). This organizationis an alliance established between colleges in Ohio that promise to contribute a certain amount of their resources to finding alternative forms of energy. These boards show development, testing, and 2D/3D applications.
Developed to fill the need of unifying University Residences with Dining Services, this map shows the locations of all the residence halls and all the dining locations on OSUs campus. It was given to all students living on campus as an alternative to the sometimes hard to navigate aerial perspective map that the university mainly uses.
Located inside of the Knowlton School of Architecture, KSA Cafe compliments the streamline and minimalistic design of the building while maintaining its own identity as a coffe shop. Menus boards, logo, trifolds, item cards, and other materials were designed for this location.

An example being students interested in community service and political science can live in the John Glenn learning community.
This collection was assembled as an explination for orientation lunch. The lunch is made up of one item from several campus dining locations, new students get an idea of what is available when they eat their three square meals at OSU.
During the summer of 2008 I had the opportunity to work as the Exhibits and Graphics intern at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. During my time at the there I made coupons, fliers and mailers, and made signs for use within the aquarium. This 2 sided color mailer was developed and printed to promote the aquariums group rates.
During my internship at the Georgia Aquarium I designed this onesie. It is given to aquarium staff who are welcoming a new baby into their homes. This playful baby otter, like those found at the aquarium, is a three color print on a light blue onesie.

Mirror Lake is a landmark on Ohio States Campus. During my time working at the Ohio Union I had the opportunity to design the graphic components for the "Mirror Lake Creamery and Grill" which will be opening in the near future.This project is one of my favorites due to its longevity and impact on campus and future students at Ohio State.
A campus awareness campaign to explain via information graphics what changes are being made on campus to make OSU more environmentally friendly. The image visually explains how the geothermal heating that is being implemented on campus will take air from within the building and either heat or cool it .
Union Market was one of four dining locations to open in the Ohio Union on March 29th 2010. I designed all the menus, small signage, and wayfinding/directional signage in all the new locations. Within Union Market there are four stations; Dough-HI-O, Buckeye Passports, Fired Up and Across the Field.
The CPLI, or Chapter President Leadership Initiative, asked me to create a T-shirt that was representational of their event but would still be wearable long after it was over. I took the idea of creating a large graphic and made the letters CPLI in the striping within the rectangle on the front of the shirt.
