Projects in College

I went to the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), I graduated May of 2022. These are some of my projects I made during my time there.

Graphic Design class projects

My last semester at UNI included a portfolio preparation class. I created a personal portfolio throughout the class.

For this project I wanted to showcase something that I really enjoy. I like going to national parks, I’m actually planning a trip to go in May. I started out with doing research about the park.

I was inspired by the Rocky Mountains, so I wanted to create something that represented that – so I made a Ski Lodge.

Northern Iowan projects

Every fall and spring the Northern Iowan makes a Career Fair Guide. I get the opportunity to make the 4-page insert, which includes a fun poster and a list of businesses going to the fair.

Spring 2021 Career Fair Guide


For this issue I was tasked with making a cover. Our fall career fair guide is usually a pop-culture reference and who doesn’t love friends?

Fall 2020 Career Fair Guide


When I first started at the Northern Iowan we wanted new press badges that we could use for years. We had recently got new racks for our newspapers and needed some branding signs.
