I use design to communicate visually across print and digital platforms. From event flyers to display signage and social media graphics, I design with purpose, clarity, and creativity using Canva and Adobe Creative Suite.
As part of my work in the Media Center at Highland Park High School, I designed a series of educational posters aimed at helping students visually absorb foundational media production concepts. These designs cover topics like camera composition, the rule of thirds, and white balance—using clear visuals and concise language to make technical concepts more accessible.
I also created an ongoing signage series titled “What Is That?”, which pairs common media production terms with corresponding images of equipment to help students become more familiar with industry language and tools. These designs serve as both educational resources and visual enhancements within the Media Center learning environment.
As a sponsor of the Yearbook Club at Highland Park High School, I collaborated with students to design the yearbook cover and develop interior pages using Jostens Yearbook Avenue, a digital layout platform with tools similar to Adobe InDesign.
In addition to guiding students through design decisions, I contributed original page layouts—particularly for portrait sections. To creatively minimize white space, I developed custom filler content themed around school food and the cafeteria experience. I photographed meals, surveyed students, and designed fun, engaging layouts that added personality and visual interest to the pages. Examples of other page designs are included, such as survey results and overview pages, which helped capture broader student experiences and bring variety to the overall book.
These flyer designs were created for school-wide initiatives and community events, distributed both digitally and in print. Each piece was tailored to its purpose, whether promotional, informational, or celebratory, while maintaining clear messaging, strong visual hierarchy, and engaging design.
The examples shown include promotional flyers for student film festival submissions, a fundraiser campaign poster for HPTV, an informational flyer outlining yearbook distribution logistics, and a recognition poster celebrating student winners of the Midwest Media Educators Association Film Festival, which incorporated placement details and a QR code linking to the winning films. Also included is a promotional flyer created for a Northbrook Arts Commission culinary arts and mixology event hosted at a local restaurant.
Designed with the audience in mind, these flyers balance visual appeal with clarity and accessibility while remaining aligned with organizational branding. They were shared through hallway displays, printed materials, email communications, and digital platforms to ensure wide visibility and engagement.
