Infographics

 As a student, I’ve produced infographics that translate detailed research into clean, visually intuitive designs. Working primarily in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, I focus on layout, clarity, and visual storytelling to make information easy to understand and engaging to look at. 

Visual Discovery Conference — Augsburg Cathedral

 I attended the Visual Discovery Conference (VDC), an international, student-centered design gathering hosted at the Augsburg Technical University of Applied Sciences in Germany. 


During the workshop, my team focused on the Augsburg Cathedral, one of the city’s most significant historical landmarks. Our project challenged us to analyze the cathedral’s architecture, symbolism, and cultural legacy, then translate those insights into compelling visual design concepts. 

White-Tailed Deer

This piece combines digital painting and vector illustration to highlight the habitat, anatomy, and behavior of white-tailed deer. The infographic features a Photoshop-painted meadow background paired with clean Illustrator vector elements, layered diagrams, and accessible informational sections. Designed to balance realism and readability, the project blends artistic detail with clear visual organization. 

All About Barbie

This piece explores the evolution of the Barbie brand through a timeline of design changes, cultural moments, and fashion highlights. The infographic emphasizes clear research, visual hierarchy, and polished design, and received an Award of Excellence in the Society for News Design’s Creative Competition: Best of News Design. 

How to make a pizza

This project presents a step-by-step guide to making homemade pizza using an alternative story form layout. The infographic breaks down the history, ingredients, and cooking methods into clear, accessible sections, using visual hierarchy and illustration to make the process easy to follow. Designed in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
