Murals
Bojangles
The Bojangles corporation commissioned me to design a tailgate-themed mural that included Clemson's football traditions. This mural was displayed on the side of the Bojangled located in Pendleton, SC.
Student Affairs Creative Services
In Fall 2023, I completed an internship for Clemson Student Affairs Creative Services. The office had a wall of file cabinets with different Clemson designs on them. When I asked my boss if I could contribute to the designs, they said they would give me the opportunity to redo all of them, so I created a composition that includes all of the most iconic buildings on Clemson's campus.
The Tiger Newspaper
In 2022, The Tiger, Clemson's student newspaper, redesigned their office space. I took the opportunity during the remodel to design a newspaper-themed mural that I painted myself on the office wall.
Newspaper Covers
The Tiger, Clemson's student newspaper, releases special editions for many different occasions, many of which I have designed the cover for.

Student Organizations
Central Spirit
Central Spirit, a Clemson student organization that supports athletic events, reached out to my place of employment to create stickers for the 2023 football season. Each game had a theme that I incorporated into a stylized set of stickers. This project won an American Graphic Design Award from Graphic Design USA.
Clemson Boxing
When I worked for Clemson's Student Affairs Creative Services, one of my
favorite jobs was creating a logo and shirt graphic for Clemson's Boxing Club.
This project also won an American Graphic Design Award from Graphic Design USA.

Set Projections
Now that technology is so widely accessible, a lot of theatre organizations are using projections in their shows as backdrops rather than building a full set. I was commissioned to create a set of projections for Catawba Ridge High School's production of Legally Blonde.

Character Creation
One of my favorite assignments throughout all of college was a project called "Design Dailies," where we were tasked with creating one art piece every day for a week. For my set of designs, I chose to create seven whimsical retro cartoon-style characters.
Cooler Design
In 2024, I was invited to a formal for the Chi Phi fraternity at Clemson. It's a tradition that the dates paint a cooler for the fraternity brother that invited them to the formal. My cooler design was particularly influenced by the location of the formal and each side was completely hand painted.
