For the most recent edition, I pivoted to a cleaner, more modern aesthetic, utilizing custom infographics to transform complex data into engaging visual stories. My design approach for these reports has evolved significantly over the years, moving from early foundational work to the structured, polished style featured here. This specific report was recognized by university leadership as a standout success, leading the vice president to have printed copies shared directly with the president and the board of trustees.
This trifold brochure was designed for an independent senior care provider to help establish a foundation of trust and reliability. I developed their company logo and utilized a client-selected palette of professional purple and warm gold to create a supportive, welcoming atmosphere.

Through the use of rounded shapes and clean typography, I ensured the detailed service list remains accessible and easy to digest for potential families.
This design for the Thank a Professor initiative was circulated to all faculty and staff at Saint Leo University. It centers on a compass theme, pairing the call to action, ‘Recognize a professor who helped guide your academic journey,’ with a sophisticated black and gold palette to ensure visual cohesion.

By incorporating custom character illustrations and thematic iconography to represent each section, I transformed dense text into a cohesive, visually appealing layout that reinforces the learning objectives.
I designed this magazine cover as an exercise in editorial layout and creative composition.
