Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium

As a designer at the Zoo, I create digital and physical graphics that support the Zoo's mission of inspiring, educating, and engaging people to be life-long stewards for the conservation of animals and their habitats. In addition to designing digital and printed signage and merchandise, I'm a photographer for the Zoo's animals, exhibits, and events.

Identity Design

Nutshelle's Dairy Sweet

Small Town Diner & Ice Cream Joint

Nutshelle's Dairy Sweet needed an updated look and new menus. I created their new logo based on the historical look of the diner but blended modern styling with traditional elements and colors.

I designed a new logo, created patterns, designed print and digital menus, produced a physical menu sign by hand, and designed and produced brand merchandise for this project.

The Lovers Collective

Intimate Wedding Photography

The Lovers Collective was born out of admiration of true partnership. The pinky promise is a symbol the commitment people make in marriage, and the overall style draws inspiration from The Lovers tarot card for an edgy take on marriage.

This project's deliverables included a brand kit with logo versions, fonts, and color palette in addition to illustrations for web use and merchandise.

Carritt Farms

Regenerative Organic Farm

Carritt Farms merges ancestral and traditional farming techniques with a modern and explorative mindset. Equal parts "grow your own" and "forage your own", Carritt Farms is passionate about the natural world.

For this brand, I created logo variations, designed labels and packaging, produced branded merchandise, took product photography, designed a website, and created social media content.

Volunteer Work

Cheetah Conservation Fund

I created the 2022 and 2023 International Cheetah Day designs and some digital greeting cards for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I also ran an independent fundraiser for CCF via my Instagram account.

Gorilla Species Survival Plan

In 2022, my work was selected to be the new official logo of the Gorilla Species Survival Plan.
