Note: Website update under progress- Last major 2017
Have been working on some new pages for University of Colorado, and University of Bentley for their career centers and Careeredge programs for Uconnect. Wanted to go with a modern and sleek flat design while still keeping a fun educational feel, and a simple and intuitive, beautiful UX for the student on the go.
Worked on creating a more visual pleasing and modern social feed for the Bentley Alumni page.
Just designed some business cards for the apparel designer Natalia Burakowska. She wanted a sleek clean look with a bold edge. There are 2 versions a regular one, and one that leaves a little space for a red lipstick kiss to match her information. It will definitely make for a super memorable experience for whomever she decides deserves one of these fun cards!
Kiss card!
I recently reworked a logo I design a while ago for Matthew Pandolfe a fashion Photographer based out of NYC, to print letterpress business cards in time for the upcoming fashion week. We decided to go with a grey on black paper with a copper metallic edging. Can't wait to get to work on them- Here is the mock up!
Matthew Pandolfe mock ups-
Created an infographic about the specifications of sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France for the Bottles blog! Design, illustration and content.
I think this is really the last edit haha, at least for now. Curation Interactive learning infographic!
I did these technical drawings for a product patent a few months ago, it was super fun. Now the patent has finally been submitted so now I can display them! They are for a hair tie alternative product called "Pretty-Knotty."
Finished up my letterpress class at AS220. Was great to learn finally. Finished with creating this cat font print! 12 x 18, with steal blue ink, 110lb paper. Up for sale on my Etsy.
All done with the Gayle Gardens logo, very exciting. Just chose the final color and is ready to go for advertising for summer in Martha's Vineyard!
Finally finished with the SENEDIA Defense Innovation Days conference ad after manyyy changes. It was definitely a transition after a year of mostly designing for more girly playful content!
Just finished the cat font!! I will be letterpress printing it this weekend at my class at AS220 to then be for sale on my Etsy Shop.
I'm working on finishing my 'Daddy Cat' font, a sort of art nouveau cat font. I'm disappointed with the selection of cat fonts out there, except for Helvticats by Bethany Lesko which is amazing (and I just my received a print of).
Need to finish it up tonight so I can get a plate made and letterpress it this weekend.
Also, I got a ton of large vinyl prints of weird cat repeats done since they were on sale for $10 for 2.5 x 6 ft (crazy!). Just got delivered today.. Now to figure out what to do with them... Nut Nut approves.
Had an odd day of work today, flipping in-between a the Gayle Gardens logo and a half page add for Defense Innovation Days for a marketing firm in Newport called the Reckoners Group.
Working on the Gayle Gardens logo, sent off a few different options! Gayle Gardens is a landscaping company in Martha's Vineyard.
The infographic for Curation Interactive is not going in a very different direction, here is a preview:
Top portion.
Bottom portion.
Working more on the infographic for Curation Interactive, going in a more illustrative direction now. Still more to come!
I Just finished painting a palm tree backgammon board for Crisloid! It will be set in a flat wooden playing board. Cant wait to see the final product!
I have been doing some freelance work for a toy company in New Jersey called Cartwheel Kids recently. I have worked on creating the packaging in the theme of "Glamor Princess" for princess costumes and jewelry etc. The packaging is made to look like trompe l'oeil garment trunk or chest covered in jewels, pearls, and fun metallic details. It is made so it can be continually used after purchase as a container for added product value.

A little prototype I made.
Some of the original sketches.
I also just finished creating a print for a product extra, a garment bag to contain the princess costumes to give the feel of a fancy boutique to the clothing for little girls. The bag will be printed on one side and solid on the other.
the finished repeat
And here are some of my original concepts.
I just started working on my first info-graphic that may be used by a local educational freelancer. It has been an interesting experience thus far trying to create a visual process guide. I also am working on creating some icons for the 5 key steps in this educational process.
I just finished up this restoration for Complements Gallery in Smithfield, RI. It seemed like it was from around the late 19th century or early 20th, and it was badly re-stretched around the 70s. It was extremely dull, dirty and deteriorating and had a small hole that I repaired in the middle of the tree base in the center of the painting. I cleaned it, removed the varnish, brightened up the colors and added gold detailing where it had come off.
I'm very excited, I just completed my first piece of furniture! I made a tufted upholstered headboard for my house mate's bedroom. It was great to see it come together! I found the fabric at savers and knew I needed to do something with it, it was so interesting. Sadly it does not match my color scheme in my room- so the next will be mine, once I decide on a fabric. It was not very expensive, and only took a few days. I'm going to try and make more as soon as I buy a jigsaw to create more interesting headboard shapes and make add furniture tacks or trim into the next design.
