Hu Chocolate Direct Mailer Mockup
Winter 2025
For this project I designed a chocolate bar envelope that holds an informational trifold for the brand Hu Chocolate.
I custom designed the envelope template in Adobe Illustrator and created a double sided trifold that easily slides inside.
The mailer includes QR codes that direct readers to virtual store locators and online shopping so customers can easily buy the product from anywhere. Each of the unique chocolate flavors is describes along with the brand’s iconic slogan “Get Back To Human” which explains the importance of quality natural ingredients to the brand identity.
The end product is an interactive and informative direct mailer that can be sent out to potential customers.
Disc & Dat Record Store Logo Mockup
Spring 2026Disc & Dat is a record store in Bethel, CT. This store is close to my hometown and I regularly visit there to find new music and vinyl. In this project I created a logo design for the company to express their vintage feeling small business. In this first page I show the development of my logo concept.
On this page I display the colors, textures, and text elements I used for the brand development. I also show still from a stop motion animation I made of the new logo.
This page shows a potential business card, letterhead, and general stationary for the brand.
The final page displays potential applications in which the logo could be used to promote the brand.
This is a stop motion animation I developed of the Disc & Dat logo design.
Advent Calendar Packaging Design
Winter 2025
As a personal project I decided to create a personalized Advent Calendar to experiment with detailed packaging design.
I used Procreate to draw a snowy depiction of my childhood home and printed the image to attach to the outer surface of a magnetic box.
I then used Adobe Illustrator to design a map of the boxes proportion and the size of each individual box so each can fit when stacked within, even though they are all different sizes.
Each box can be removed from the box and open to reveal a new gift for each day of Advent. Each daily box is decorated with a custom drawing and the numbered day of the month.
Commission House Project
Summer 2024
In the Summer of 2024 I was asked to paint four house portraits for a family who would be moving away from their family home.
I photographed the house in person and made four acrylic paintings of the house, scenery, and the family dog.
To differentiate each portrait I used two different angles of the house and painted different lighting so each one would feel special.
The New Yorker Christmas Magazine Mockup
Winter 2025
For this project I designed my own Christmas edition mockup of The New Yorker magazine.
I used the New Yorker’s typical format to create a hypothetical Table of Contents for the issue.
The edition focuses on the holiday shopping craze that occurs in NYC especially with the growing interest in holiday shopping markets.
I formatted the magazine using Adobe InDesign and used Procreate to design the front cover.
Fashion Zine
Spring 2025
I took inspiration from 90s fashion catalogs such as dELiA*s and Alloy to create new catalog collages in my zine.
This zine is fashion based artwork that accordion folds into a small leather purse.
