Portfolio of Graphic Design, Illustrations, Web Dev, & More

Above is a collection of links to different parts of my portfolio. I thought it easier to navigate through my portfolio by breaking it into separate pages as I have worked in a number of different fields including graphic design, web development, social media marketing, illustration, and more. Plus, some of these fields have greater specification such as logo design and brochure /flyer layout and design made sense to be separated from a more general page of digital design. Please click through the tabs above to see examples of my work and further down this page is a point form list of my highlighted skills.

How I Design?

I utilize Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign for the majority of my digital designs. I use them all equally and have no favourites as they are tools and each task may require a specific tool to complete it; for instance a logo would require Illustrator and a photo retouch would require Photoshop, but using all of them in a poster would require InDesign. My workflow for these projects, even when a software program is required, starts with a pencilled sketch. Even for my website designs I’ll often start with a doodle. I will create dozens of doodles to get out as many ideas as possible and then research what’s been done before to gain further ideas or polish some of the ones I had already drawn. From there I will choose the best of the hand-drawn designs and redo them in Illustrator or whatever other program is required; if it’s an illustration like a scientific drawing of a stone tool or a comic book page, then I’ll redraw the idea on a larger piece of paper.
