Selected Academic Projects 

Ascension (2021) 

​

Photoshop software project for ARTS-305, in which students were asked to create an image inspired by a song of their choice. I was inspired by the song "Love on a Real Train" by Tangerine Dream. The song was included in the Netflix original show Bandersnatch, and has a dreamlike, hypnotic quality. The song is entirely instrumental, and includes a repetitive electronic melody, which continually increases in tone, and undercuts the additional song elements which weave in and out of the track. I hoped to emulate the feelings invoked by the song, and mimic the melodic ascension of the music through an M.C. Escher inspired infinite staircase.

Taekwondo (2021) 

​

This was the second project created for ARTS-305. Students were asked to create a multipanel collection of images that conveyed  an overall theme, and showed their proficiency in Adobe Illustrator. I designed my panels to emulate an olympic Taekwondo match.

Astrology (2021) 

​

This was the third project created for ARTS-305. Students were asked to create a graphic detailing subject matter of their choice, and to show their proficiency in Adobe Indesign. I chose astrology, and used indesign to format a detailed breakdown of each astrological grouping, along with hand drawn images of hands, which were then retouched and colorized in photoshop. 

Sci-Fi Final project (2021) 

​

Final project for Science fiction literature class, in which students were given the option to turn in a graphic in lieu of a final essay. This project combined elements from my favorite stories we discussed throughout the semester, most notably "Bloodchild" by Octavia Spencer. 

Water Hardness informational Graphic (2021) 

​

Infographic created for lab report detailing the calcification of rain water, and the process of water treatment; through natural and man made means.
