Messiah Lifeways, a non-profit organization providing a network of residential living options and community support services for 55+, wanted to design a biannual publication providing insights on campus news, home and garden, life and leisure, health and wellness, food, and more. Something to truly engage their residents as well as the families of potential residents in what life is like at Messiah Lifeways and the community and lifestyle it represents.

Working closely with Messiah Lifeways, I immediately fell in love with their vision of a lifestyle publication and we went to work on building something beautiful. They desired a coffee-table style book and loved light and airy photography to portray the thriving environment.

I provided not only the complete design of the magazine but also photographed almost all of the images featured in each of the 5 issues I completed for them. Being able to art direct and photograph for each page I would be designing gave me unique insight and precision for the project.

High Foundation’s mission is to build a Bridge to Opportunity in the Lancaster community and beyond. I utilized the elegance of the bridge imagery and illustrations to reinforce this mission and to provide a foundation for the design of their Annual Report. With engaging photography and informative infographics this piece served as a place for High Foundation to share about their goals and vision for the future.

Stella came to me in hopes of designing a book that had a journal-like feel that depicted her grief journey both visually and in written word. To achieve this I sorted through all of her personal photos as well as professional to include in the book while designing every page. Working with Stella, we choose font styles and layouts that were personal but minimalistic.

Summery of book for reference:

In My Sweet Sorrow, Estella Heinrich invites you into her most vulnerable thoughts and feelings in the year that followed the loss of her husband, Trevor. Through journal entries, prayers, and written down thoughts, hopes, and stories of Trevor, Estella will take you with her as she grapples with the loss of her husband months into their marriage and discovers God’s faithfulness again and again.

Involved since the site mapping beginning stages, I got the opportunity to design every page of this website as well as think through the functionality and simplicity to get viewers to their desired destination on the site. I also had the privilege of photographing most of the photos on this site to match the vibe of each page, as well as convey the heart of Worship Center.

Giving Light is a local church and global resource center. They came to looking for a brand identity and design guide as well as a new website homepage design and connection card for new members.

This packaging design was created for Worship Center to hand out to people when they make a declaration of becoming a believer in Jesus. They were created to be an encouragement and each include a bookmark, devotional, a greeting card from the pastor, and verse cards. We also created the same box with similar elements in Spanish to provide to congregants where Spanish is their fist language. .

Viki desired for a book jacket that reflected both sides of her personality: the fierce (cover) and the joyful (back of book). After the consultation and sketching ideas, I photographed both images for the front & back as well as designed with her raw but playful writing style.

Summary of book for reference:

Viki was 44 years old when she got the worst possible news: that she had terminal cancer and there was nothing anyone could do for her. Viki didn't like that answer. In fact, she knew one thing and one thing alone, and that was that absolutely nobody was raising her children but her and so the fight began.

Created for a sermon series at Worship Center built around how we should live life fearless because of our strength in Jesus.

CREATED FOR WORSHIP CENTER

The goal of this project was to use our pole banners that were dispersed on all light poles throughout the parking lot to encourage our church members as well as people just passing through. I wanted to create imagery that was minimalistic but could speak to any generation or background. Focusing on authentic messiness that occurs when we are navigating life’s hardships and defining moments.

Through consultation and brainstorming with the cafe manager, we went with a concept of having the logo abstractly reference one of their top selling menu items, the Rosemary Chicken Salad. The rest of the brand went off of a modern, minimalistic vibe.

When the owner of Slesser Renovations came to me, they were looking for a brand that was full of color but also captured the traditionalist aspects of a handyman service. To achieve this I looked to tool etchings and added a splash of color.

Created specifically for a young adult ministry event called ‘Oh Taste and See’, the theme that year was how through Jesus we are set free.

Easter 2022’s theme at Worship Center was ‘All Things new.’ I created the design around how beauty can come from darkness, giving way to a more hauntingly beautiful imagery. I hand-picked the flowers, had a friend arrange them, and then photographed them to install into my design. For Easter advertising we had posters, postcard invites, stickers, and column graphics going down the hall.

This poster series was designed for a One Club competition with a prompt of creating a visual call to action to save the arts. Through the use of familiar objects with a twist of art-related objects, my goal was to draw the viewer in and then hit them with the message.

An organic produce line that sells fresh, frozen and canned goods. I chose to have a more vintage feeling to the design with the etchings because back in the day 'organic' didn't exist, because everything was organic.

All created for Worship Center’s social media. Consists of sermon series posts, quotes from the sermon, encouraging words, and promotional posts. I also did a social media series where I photographed a person from our congregation and wrote their testimony directly on their photo of what God was doing in their life at that moment. What was impactful about that series, was that it promoted vulnerability and impacted people in a relatable way.

A catalog of Neville Brody’s designs with added informative text designs. My intention with this catelog was to embody his aesthetic and style throughout the entire piece.

Created for Worship Center staff to use whenever they have events or on Sundays. We we ended up going with a bold graphic on the back to stand out in crowd while at the same time keeping the front super simple so that it’s easy to match with outfits.

Designed with Worship Center’s brand in mind, I designed this square booklet to be informative but also eye catching. Also while working on this project, I mapped out what images were needed and then photographed each image to perfectly portray the information.

Created for Worship Center’s young adult ministry, The Living Room, I really wanted to play off the verse that said ‘bold as lions’ with a more traditional trendy design.

Designed for a conceptual company that contructs curtains out of printed custom patterns that the consumer sends in. To fully capture the company’s purpose, I constructed a ‘window’ frame to act as a stand for the calendar as well as to enhance the curtain-like feel. Also, each month’s patterns were designed to abstractly hint at elements from each season without losing a realistic curtain essence.
