Illustrator
Card, Envelopes, & Gift Wrapper
This project began with exploring 88 different Panda character designs before selecting one to develop into a complete collection. I used the chosen character to create matching greeting cards, envelopes, and wrapping paper. Using Adobe Illustrator, I experimented with colors, patterns, and typography to carry the character’s personality across each design and bring the collection together in a playful way.
Priyanka Chopra Portrait
This project involved creating a black-and-white portrait of Priyanka Chopra using patterns to build light, shadow, and texture. I first designed some of my own patterns and then combined them with existing Adobe patterns to create different levels of contrast throughout the portrait. By adjusting the gray tones and pattern density in Adobe Illustrator, I created depth and brought the portrait to life while keeping the overall design detailed and balanced.
Erie Fire Department Coloring Book
This project involved designing a children’s coloring book featuring Horus, the Erie Fire Department’s ATF dog, to help promote fire safety awareness in the Erie community. My character design was selected as one of the finalists from a class of 20 student designers. Although another student’s design was ultimately chosen, this project gave me the opportunity to explore character design and create artwork for a community-focused educational project.
