I was asked to create a new advertisement for SUNY Cobleskill that showcased the equine side of the college to appeal to the readers of the Equine Journal.
For my senior project, I created SkillCraft, a hypothetical traveling classroom that brought master leatherworkers and supplies to groups around New York State. This book was one of the largest parts of the project, from research to actually photographing the projects and tools (and making one of the projects myself).

Each year, each SUNY college must submit an annual report to SUNY. I have had the privilege of laying out the annual report for SUNY Cobleskill since 2020. The latest annual report has received many compliments from donors and administrators at other colleges. Click the image below to view the full report on SUNY Cobleskill’s website.
In keeping with SUNY Cobleskill’s commitment to “Grow, Sustain, and Renew,” a new initiative was launched in 2022 to focus on specific actions the college could take to become more sustainable. I was asked to create a logo that could be used on anything having to do with this initiative, from posters to social media posts, that would coordinate with SUNY Cobleskill’s established visual identity, but stand out on it’s own as well. I developed this simple leaf graphic, with three orange segments that created a circle, reminiscent of the three arrows used in the recycling symbol we’re all familiar with.
During the summer, SUNY Cobleskill holds several Orientation weekends for new students. I was asked to take the schedule and lay it out in an easy to understand and appealing booklet that students and families could carry around for the weekend. This was challenging, but the final design was worth it.
The Asbury Retreat Center Foundation Inc supports Asbury Camp and Retreat Center in Western NY by fundraising throughout the year. They came to me to create a logo and basic branding they could use for marketing. They wanted their logo to connect to the leaf logo of the camp and retreat center without being too similar and confusing people. I took the leaf logo from the camp and created an outline so the silhouette would be recognizable. They requested the logo include their name, so I worked in the layered letters to symbolize the tight relationship with the camp and retreat center. For smaller uses, I created an alternate version with the leaf filled in to the left and the full name to the right.
Fredword is a very classy narwhal, sporting a top hat and monocle (as only the classiest of narwhals do). I created Fredword when assigned to create my own folded character. I had to make sure the template and instructions could be easily followed by others and was equal parts informative and visually appealing.
Greece is a dream destination for me, so when asked to create a travel poster for a class, it only made sense that I would choose the gorgeous views of Santorini. This poster was initially put together in Photoshop to create a composite that I traced in Illustrator, turned into a live paint group, and then filled in the colors.
This clock illustration was created to be used as a sticker, but the Admissions Office loved it so much, they decided to make it a sweatshirt as well. Our clock on campus is part of the original quad, and very special to the school, so it was only right that it gets featured with our "rolling hills."
