House of Sole is a local running-shoe and apparel store in Southwest Louisiana with three storefronts. Over the course of two years, I created 25 magazine ads and 10 billboard concepts for our client. Every advertisement consisted of current models from each of the 6 shoe brands, each brand’s logo, and a simple tagline treated with a blend effect.

One of the services provided to the medical marijuana pharmacies is digital signage in their lobbies and waiting areas. Multiple templates were created for various products and promotions. Above is an example of an animation shown on the in-office screens.

STōK is a worldwide coffee brand that produces innovative advertising and tasty cold brew coffee. This is one of my first school projects I created at SOWELA. I entered this piece into my school art show where I placed Best in Show as well as Best in Category. I can honestly say this is one of the projects that kept me motivated to achieve more with every piece I made. I like to include it in my portfolio because it’s a solid reminder of why I love to create. I feel it shows a contrast in my work as a student versus a professional.

Gallery Promenade is a yearly pop-up art gallery that takes place in Lake Charles to highlight the vibrant local art community. This project was created for the Arts & Humanities Council of SWLA with a focus on rebranding the event. I pulled inspiration from various local arts organizations and the general spirit of an eclectic night on the town.

Lundy LLP is a historic and well-respected law firm in Lake Charles. I had the privilege of helping to rebrand their firm in 2023.

Gators On The Geaux is a local campaign held by the Lake Charles Symphony in which entities purchase a life-size, customizable statue of an alligator to display in front of their business.

The Living Cemetery Tour is an annual event held by the Arts & Humanities Council of SWLA. The main objective is to attract visitors to the event highlighting the graves of historical figures that shaped the foundation of our city, state and even country. As a board member, I was asked to create the poster for the 2023 event using a mixture of textures and photos from one of the cemeteries featured in the tour.

Crescent City Therapeutics is a medical marijuana pharmacy/dispensary in Kenner, LA. I created this half-page magazine ad for the nationally produced 2024 Mardi Gras Guide. Using Mardi Gras themed products from the state-approved grow operations, I was able to show the variety of products available to patients while still celebrating our unique holiday.

Luna Bar and Grill is a well-established local restaurant that has served the Lake Charles area for over 20 years. I was fortunate to be able to collaborate with the client in preparation for opening their second location in Lake Charles. Showcasing my photography and editing skills, I used bright-colored, organic shapes and lines to follow the free spirit of the restaurant. Also, tying in the eclectic band and music festival posters that cover the walls.
