I was commissioned to rebrand my hometown of Lincolnshire, Illinois. Lincolnshire is a small suburb of Chicago boasting great schools, booming businesses, beautiful nature and community-based neighborhoods. Those who live there know how great it is, but Lincolnshire felt a strong rebrand would help the Village compete with surrounding communities to present Lincolnshire as a progressive and appealing location to base new and growing investment and economic developments, entice new residents to move to Lincolnshire, encourage new retail opportunities and increase visitor attendance.
I worked closely with the Lincolnshire Board of Trustees to create a fresh logo and style guide that maintains the feel and history of the original, while making the brand feel clean, bold and consistent. We did research into the Village of Lincolnshire, its residents, what it has to offer and what it will have to offer. For Lincolnshire, this project was more than a new logo, it was a symbol of development and opportunities. The new design was implemented in June of 2020.

During my position as Graphics Editor at The Observer, Notre Dame's student run newspaper, I led a team of 5 graphic designers to design and create graphics for print, online and weekly specials for Notre Dame’s student-run daily newspaper. I was the first graphics editor to photograph, direct and design weekly graphics on featured football players and team positions for Irish Insiders, working with a team of sports writers and editors. We won first place for “Best Special Section Front/Cover” during the 2016 Indiana Collegiate Press Association Awards.
I served as project manager for weekly special edition features called Irish Insiders that were printed throughout the Notre Dame football season. I worked with a team of photographers, writers and editors to feature a football player or team position throughout the 2015 Notre Dame football season. I would aid in the preparation of the interviews or photoshoot, but my main job was to direct or photograph the player[s] and design a visually striking photo illustration within 24 hours of the shoot that fit the weekly focus. This was an amazing experience that helped me gain leadership skills and taught me to work with people from multi-disciplinary backgrounds. My team with the Observer won an award for "Best Special Section Front/Cover" for one of the editions during the 2016 Indiana Collegiate Press Association Awards (ICPA).
I entered my design into an international shoe design competition for Bucketfeet, an retailer specializing in artist-designed footwear. My design was voted the first place winner is now being sold at mass production online and in several in-store locations throughout the US.
The design was meant to inspire people struggling with ADHD or other learning disabilities to continue to create. I originally sketched the design in a notebook to use creativity and art as a median for my ADHD tendencies. As I encountered random thoughts and things I noticed throughout the day, I sketched a small doodle of it. Instead of allowing these random thoughts be be distractions, I allowed them to become inspiration and art. At the end of the day, my day's worth of random thoughts were documented into a design. I hope by to encourage people struggling with learning disabilities to realize the beauty in how each individual thinks and to embrace it and express it through art.
