‘The Dara Book’
PROGRAM: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: Created for BCW’s former CEO, this book holds notes of endearment and admiration about her. I was tasked to transform a candid Word document of nearly a hundred email messages from her co-workers and friends and invigorate them onto the pages of this coffee table book.
OUTCOME: BCW's CEO was able to take home a beautiful keepsake from her time at BCW — something she can look back on for years to come and remember with fondness.
U.S. City Map & Guide
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: Seattle, Miami, and Santa Monica – along with their iconic attractions, the Seattle Space Needle, Miami's Art Deco District, and the Santa Monica Pier – were chosen to create a Travel City Map Guide. Each city is expressed graphically with a clear, bold, and distilled vector graphic inspired by the work of George Tscherny.
Burson ‘Emergency Response Plan’
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: Burson was in need of an updated cover for their Emergency Response Plan book. The old design had a sterile, white background with red text blotting the front. What I produced after is both a light and dark version of the modernized covers that now completely evokes the Burson branding.
OUTCOME: I refreshed the cover of Burson’s Emergency Response Plan to align with the new company's brand identity.
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: After Burson’s brand guidelines were finalized, an array of social templates needed to be designed to announce new hires, promotions, quote cards, and more. Shown here are the Instagram posts I designed posted to their socials.
OUTCOME: I strengthened Burson’s growing social media presence by designing numerous social media templates for quotes, new hires announcements, industry awards, and more.

Burson Awards Deck Template
PROGRAM: Microsoft Powerpoint
ABOUT: These slides are examples from the larger deck template I designed for non-design teams to use for their pitch and award decks. It is intended to be visually-focused while giving room for word-heavy content.
OUTCOME: I empowered non-design teams with visually-impactful PowerPoint templates so they could effortlessly populate their pitch decks.
PROGRAM: Adobe Photoshop
ABOUT: I helped create mockups for the Burson Brand Experience team for their client, Bob’s Red Mill. These mockups were used in their 2024 pitch deck.
OUTCOME: I helped further build out the Bob’s Red Mill pitch deck.

Hand Hierarchy
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: Facts of my life, lyrics from my favorite songs, and meaningful quotes are mapped out on the palm of my hand. Each element is placed at a 30- or 45-degree angle and works off the counterpoints of other groupings of text. Contrast in scale, position, proximity, and transparency are used to create visual interest and unity via hierarchy. The first has a maze-like approach, while the second is organized by past, present, and future.
BCW ‘The Learning Hub’
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator
ABOUT: The Learning Hub was a learning platform available to all WPP employees. I redesigned the outdated graphics to favor a modern, fun, and inviting feeling. BCW's brand shapes were used to symbolize the “building blocks of learning.”
OUTCOME: I redesigned and modernized the thumbnails for BCW’s educational platform to increase engagement and attract new users.
