The SCC Marketing Department realized something was missing from the HR on-boarding process–the explanations of general campus knowledge.

As a business owner, you want your business to stand out from the rest. I had the opportunity to rebrand a small personal training business in Greenville, SC.

Add the tagline, a play on her last name–Pace–the brand came together with new business cards, banners, and stickers.

Design a cohesive set of four book jackets for a selected collection of titles for Barnes & Noble Classics.

Tibor Kalman, David Carson, Neville Brody, and Ed Fella are known for pushing the boundaries of design. They acted out against the rigid structure and formality of Swiss design and set out to break the rules set by the modernists before them. They did not just stand on the edge of the status quo; they threw design over it. The Type Transformation Plexi lm DVD series visually represents the rejection of modernist rules and principles and the dubious distinction between legibility and communication set forth by these designers.

The Crooked Rook Cafe in Anderson, SC is a new board game cafe that serves coffee also. Its users would be college students, young adults, and families in Anderson that have heard about and are interested in this new cafe that recently opened.
