A logo designed for The Good Garden, a Western Massachusetts small business that empowers people to grow their own food through thoughtful guidance, custom garden plans, installations, and coaching—no matter their space or experience level.
Created for Nettlepoint Farm, a micro farm in Greenfield, Massachusetts, this logo concept is inspired by the nettle plant in the farm’s name. Variations include a chicken, highlighting their fresh egg offerings!
Designed for Antonina’s Garden, a handcrafted skincare brand creating soaps and balms made from lard. The pig icon directly references the well-cared-for animals the lard comes from and reflects a commitment to using every part of the animal with care and intention!
PeakBag helps hikers stay on track while working through the Northeast 111 by giving them an easy way to check off peaks, see their progress, and share their journey with other hikers doing the same thing. It’s part checklist, part hiking log, and part community.
*Awards
Created graphics for the full rosters of the UConn Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams, displayed on large LED screens at the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center in Storrs, CT. The designs highlight individual players and capture the pride and energy of UConn Basketball. The project also included a motion graphic of a game score for both teams, bringing movement and broadcast-style excitement to the visuals. Go Huskies!
Our two person team was tasked with creating an animation that explains the Greenhouse Studios Design Process. I helped develop the narrative, storyboards, animatic, and asset library, resulting in a three-minute animation.
We then worked on a complete redesign of the Greenhouse Studios website. The previous site was difficult to navigate and filled with dense, academic content that didn't clearly communicate what Greenhouse Studios is, what it does, and why it's named after a greenhouse. The new site features a refreshed design that better reflects the projects, people, and values of the studio.
