Photography
These photos highlight a personal photography project capturing my brother’s engagement, shot using my Canon Rebel T6 camera. The purpose of this layout is to showcase meaningful moments through authentic storytelling and emotional imagery. What stands out about the content is the raw, candid emotion and the natural lighting. The overcast sky provided the perfect weather for taking photos, creating a soft and balanced tone. Notably, this shoot received praise from friends and family and was shared across social media platforms. I’m grateful that I was chosen to capture these moments and help preserve such a special memory.
Amaze Group Deliverable
As part of a comprehensive marketing project for Visual Image Marketing, I led efforts in search engine optimization, managing the Google Business Profile, overseeing Google paid ads, selecting strategic keywords, and incorporating AI tools to optimize performance. I worked closely with a team of 19 members across branding, social media, website design, and market research to ensure alignment and consistency. Our collaboration resulted in a 63-page marketing strategy portfolio, which I helped present to the business owner. All of our proposed strategies were successfully adopted, marking a strong impact through data-driven and creative marketing solutions.
Door Hanger
This is a mock up of a door hanger I created in Adobe InDesign for a company in Nashville called Frontier Foundation and Crawl Space Repair. It was a class project focused on print marketing, and I used real company photos and branding to make the design as realistic as possible. The lines around the outside are bleed and margin lines used for printing, and they would not show up on the final printed version. This project helped me practice layout, spacing, and working with print-ready files in a professional way.
Social Media Posts
I created these Instagram story post mock-ups as part of two different class projects focused on digital marketing and design. The first post was made for Capri Sun, where the objective was to engage followers with an interactive summer campaign asking them to vote on their favorite flavor. The second post was for a fictional travel company my group developed called “Together & Away,” which helps solo travelers connect with others and plan group trips. Both designs reflect skills in social media marketing, user engagement, and visual communication, and they allowed me to apply real-world branding strategies in a creative way.
Graduation Announcement
This graduation announcement design was created to celebrate my upcoming graduation from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as part of the Class of 2025. The purpose was to capture my personality and school spirit through bright, cheerful imagery and bold, eye-catching typography. What stands out about the design is the strong use of the university’s signature orange color, along with the dynamic layout that combines professional photos with modern, clean graphics. The use of two distinct locations on campus adds a personal and meaningful touch.
Infographic
This community needs infographic was designed to highlight pressing issues in Knoxville, Tennessee, including affordable housing, substance control, and access to healthcare. I created this as part of a project focused on understanding and addressing real-world challenges through research and visual communication. What stands out about the design is its clean layout and organized breakdown of data, making complex information easy to understand at a glance. It also showcases key organizations working to meet these needs, including Knox Area Rescue Ministries, the Metro Drug Coalition, and Knoxville Area Project Access. As someone passionate about giving back to the community, this project allowed me to combine my design skills with my desire to make a meaningful impact.
Cooking Video
This is a video project I edited using CapCut as part of a class assignment. The goal was to create an engaging and visually appealing short video that could be used for social media. I focused on smooth transitions, clear messaging, and creative visuals to capture attention and tell a story effectively. This project helped me build confidence in video editing and taught me how to use CapCut to create content that’s polished and professional.
Social Media Video
This project features a promotional video I created for the Special Olympics Illinois Region I Bowling and Bocce Tournament. While I did not film the athlete footage, I edited over ten minutes of raw clips into a concise and engaging one-minute video designed to encourage volunteer sign-ups. I also designed the custom thumbnail shown on the screen, making sure to use the organization’s official color, font, and logo to maintain brand consistency and recognition. The purpose of the video is to spread awareness and drive community involvement by showing the impact of volunteering and making it easy for viewers to take action. This project reflects both my editing skills and my passion for supporting meaningful causes through creative work.
