Projects

Carolina Crossfit Website Design

The following website I created using Wix for a local CrossFit gym. Carolina CrossFit expressed that they were looking to leave their current website provider. They needed a designer to help work with them personally to create a site that better reflected their brand. After meeting with Carolina CrossFit and understanding their needs and goals, I set to work on the website. Using Wix's abilities for client feedback, I was able to make any edits that the client wanted. As a result, Carolina CrossFit has a website that truly reflects their brand, and one they can easily edit in the future.See More

Powerhouse Functional Fitness Merchandise & Web Design

This page features an on-going collection of work created for the client Powerhouse Functional Fitness. Using an already created logo, I was tasked with creating a brandmark that simplified the current logo but kept the same personality. My work with this client entails branding, graphic design, merchandise designs and website maintenance.See More

RSIC Rebrand

This is an ever-growing collection of the work that I and the other communication interns at the SC Retirement System Investment Commision have collaborated on. Starting May 2022, RSIC expressed the desire to undergo a complete rebrand; this includes a new logo, color palette, internal and external templates as well as various flyers and design projects. All of the designs within this project were created by me and the other interns and had to undergo a process of approval by the CEO of RSIC.See More

Chapin Magazine Articles

The following works are articles I wrote for Chapin Magazine from 2019-2021 while I was a student in high school. These articles were edited by the executives at Chapin Magazine; however, the work is completely my own. I went through the process of selecting a topic, researching, interviewing sources and bringing my interviewee's stories to life. These articles are a great example of my love of writing and reporting and I hope you enjoy reading them!See More
