Supply Run

Game Development / Unity / Work in Progress

A side project to get into game development. I'm learning Unity and building with AI-assisted code, and it has taught me how to break a big idea into small, testable pieces, how to direct AI with clear instructions and review what it writes, and how much a game depends on feel and playtesting. Still in progress, and I'll keep updating it.

Dealership Hang Tags

Print Design / Hang Tags / Two Dealerships

Mirror hang tags for two different dealerships, each designed for the dealership's brand and printed front and back. One is a VIP tag with space to name the customer and team member, and its back lists reasons to buy and service there. The other, for a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership, promotes a Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer, with a bold headline, three simple steps and QR codes to start the offer.

Front and back of a VIP hang tag for Honda of Huntersville. The front has a large blue VIP over lines for Reserved For and Team Member. The back, titled Why Buy and Service With Us, lists seven benefits with icons, including a large service facility, transparent pricing and complimentary vehicle inspection.

Honda of Huntersville Service Menu

Print Design / Tri-fold Brochure / OEM

I took a large amount of unorganized information and turned it into a clean, condensed printout for a dealership. The service menu shows customers each package and what's included. I designed it in Photoshop and took it through to the printed piece, keeping it clear and easy for the customer to understand.

Outside of a tri-fold Service Menu brochure for Honda of Huntersville: a pay-over-time panel and a schedule-service panel, each with a QR code, a center panel with the dealership's address, phone number and hours, and a cover panel reading Service Menu.
Outside: financing and scheduling QR codes, dealership details, cover
Inside of the brochure: six service packages by mileage interval, 5K, 15K, 45K, 60K, 75K and 105K, each listing required services with Required, Recommended and Fully Protected pricing tiers.

Promotional Service

Promotional Design / Logo Lockup

A $40 oil change promotion for a dealership. It needed a logo that matched their brand and look, so I followed the brand guidelines to make something that stands out. It was used on mats, window clings and other items throughout the store as part of a big promotional push.

Digital advertising assets built to support automotive recruitment campaigns. Bold visuals, clear messaging and one consistent design approach carry the hiring message across several executions.

Rediscover Reading

Campaign Concept / Photo Manipulation / Series

A three-part campaign meant to make reading feel compelling again. Each piece turns the pages of an open book into a surreal scene built in Photoshop from photos, ink textures and paint: a figure trapped behind bars, a sheltered space watched by a security camera, and a fisherman drifting over something huge beneath the surface. Paired with short headlines and one shared line, the series frames books as a way out of a closed-in mind and into your imagination.

An open book whose pages become a stormy blue sea under a moon. A small boat with a fisherman casts a line, while a huge dark shape looms beneath the water. The headline Dive into Creativity runs down the center of the spread.

White Sulphur Springs Logo Redesign

Branding / Logo Design / Concept

A logo redesign for the town of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. I researched the town's history and community identity, then sketched a wide range of directions built from the town's initials, drawing on railroad tracks, mountains and sun, tree rings, antlers and the landscape. The strongest ideas moved into Illustrator, where I refined the W and mirrored S's into a single mark. The final logo tucks a deer and the columns of the town's main building into the S shapes. I then built a brand guide covering logo usage, color palette and typography.

The final White Sulphur Springs logo printed in black on a white mug: a bold W above two mirrored S shapes that form a heart, with a deer and the columns of the town's main building set inside.

Elise's Cookin'

Personal Project / Web Design

A website project built from scratch. I researched competing recipe sites and defined a persona and target audience, then made wireframes to set the structure. A style tile gave the site its vibe and personality and settled the colors, typefaces and icons. I designed the pages and applied basic web and UX practices throughout, and the final is a detailed mockup with several pages coded in HTML and CSS.

Collage Collision

Collage / Packaging / Visual Metaphor

Collage Collision turns packaging into a visual metaphor for the product inside. Each icon is built from pieces of that product's own wrapper: a tomato from ketchup packets, a water drop from bottle labels, a flame from Flamin' Hot Cheetos bags, lips from Hershey's Kisses wrappers. The nine icons then collide into one composition.

Nine icons, each collaged from torn candy and snack wrappers: a strawberry, baseball bat, flame, water drop, tomato, mountain, sprout, pair of lips and a star.

A square composition that combines the wrapper icons: a sprout growing from a pile of wrappers, with a mountain, baseball bat, flame, water drop, lips, star and tomato around it.

Ink Art

I let the ink find its own path, then brought the drops into Photoshop and added digital touches. The result sets the random, organic drops against the technical precision of perfect circles, two contrasting elements in one piece.

Black ink on white paper, a wide panorama: dense ink masses at both ends narrow to a fine tangle of branching lines in the center.
