I'm a graphic design student graduating in May 2025 from Rochester Institute of Technology. A good indication of my skill is how I Photoshopped this picture to make my shirt look pink.
I used to doodle in the margins of my assignments and notebooks. I still do, but I used to too. —Mitch Hedberg(ish) —Emmitt White
I grew up as an overactive brain in a freewheeling ball of arms and legs, and didn't know what graphic design was for quite some time. Upon discovery, I realized I liked it—so much so that I went to design school and still decided I want a career in it; thus this portfolio site.
I'm a moderate to severe typography nerd, and am currently working on a variable typeface project that mirrors typographic history. It's going to be up by May 2025, because that's when it is due. Future employers—I like to meet deadlines.
Check out some images and words below.
Remy about to get showered in snow.
I'm from Northern Vermont, and I grew up skiing at the mountain just minutes from my home. Sometimes I would channel my teenage angst into a harmless spray of snow, as seen above.
Ozzie on Burton Island.
Ozzie is my dog, and he is a furry four-legged fish. He can't be kept out of a body of water, unless you try to give him a bath.
Elias the Photoshop Wizard and I about to see an Aaron Judge grand slam vs. the Red Sox.
I grew up a Yankees fan, and understand if this is a dealbreaker.
199 in bowling.
Ozzie with Beary.
On the ice with RITchie, about to lose to Elias in an intermission minigame.
This matchup would be contested twice in our RIT tenure, with Elias coming out on top both times. This will haunt me for many moons.
Lurking with Audrey, the masterful medical illustrator
The hands-down best thing about art school is that sometimes you run into your friend who is also carrying a suspicious garbage bag over their shoulder, and you get to take a photo.
