UX & MOTION
Moving Forward…
Web Design and motion are a more recent interest for me in the my life. I’ve always enjoyed animation and studied animation along side graphic design since the beginning of high school. I think I enjoy motion and web design because they take all the aspects I enjoy about Graphic Design and Animation and create a fun middle ground I find comfort in. Because of this motion plays a big role in my design style.
Social Anxiety Infographic
Social anxiety affects so many people every day. While it can be difficult to deal with, it’s important to know that you aren’t alone. That’s the reason I created this motion infographic about this common fear. As a person who suffers from a form of social anxiety, I wanted to reflect my experience into a motion graphic to hopefully connect with viewers with social anxiety, as well as educate those unfamiliar with the subject.

Agronomy Expo Moster
For this motion poster I created the Agronomy Expo, a crop production expo showcasing its commitment to green practices. I thought it would be fun to use my skills as a 3D artist to add some dimension to my poster. I created the 3D spinning corn element as the focus of the motion while keeping the text and image elements static. My goal was to add some personality to this fictional event.

Lake Erie Hydraulics
Lake Erie Hydraulics is a hydraulic repair company located in Erie, PA. As a team, we were tasked with rebranding their logo and creating a website that will be accessible for all ages. The clients are aiming for a post-WW2 retro aesthetic for their branding. After getting to know Shawn and Jenn, we learned that they are very connected to their clients on a personal level, so we reflected that fact in the final website. We included pictures taken by our photography team of the work they do and included a handcrafted letter from Jenn.

Summer Art Festival 2023
Summer Art Festival is one of my favorite multi-page websites that I created. The event is supposed to feel like a mid-summer sunset, so I used rounded shapes, warmer photos, and an orange and tan color palette. The typeface is also rounded to give a soft, friendly appearance for the event, and to match the logo I created.
