Designing the charge forward

From alumni events to donor initiatives, my work at the University of Central Florida focuses on building human connections through design. Supporting a large, fast-moving university requires clear, adaptable communication that can serve multiple audiences and initiatives at once. Design solutions were created to meet those needs while supporting long-term engagement and institutional goals. Go knights, charge on!

I led the development of new graphic assets within UCF’s existing brand framework. As a rule, the work featured in my portfolio represents projects where I served as the primary contributor and design lead.
