About Me.



Who am I?

I'm a Senior Digital Communication Major at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pennsylvania. I'm a dependable and commited student and worker. Through my experience and projects, I prove that I am resourceful and have my audience in mind for any project.

Why me?

I know my way in and out of every Adobe Creative Cloud program. I can code in HTML, CSS and Javascript. I designed promotional materials for Apex Advertising and LVC's Breen Center for Graduate Success. I've created socials media strategies that aim to improve audience engagement by strategically posting graphics and linking to events and online stores. I'm the president of LVC's Visioneers which is a club that teach students how to use cutting edge technology no matter their major or prior experience, and I'm devoted to continuous learning because of my obsessive personality. If you want a swiss army knife in designer form, you've found your guy.

Experience.

Alphabet Train Prototype




Description

Alphabet Train is a toy train meant for kids ages 2-6. The idea was to teach kids how to form words by connecting the cabin cars which contain one letter on each. I began with a rough sketch of what I wanted to the train to look like and how I wanted it to work. I then created a full scale cardboard prototype of the engine train and one cabin train. I then made a 3D model of the train in Autodesk Inventor and 3D printed the final design. The final prototype was sanded and painted.


Software Used:

Adobe Illustrator & AutoDesk Inventor


Pizza with Professionals Logo




Pizza with Professionals is an event at Lebanon Valley College to meet alumni or other guests and hearing how they transitioned from undergraduate experience to their current careers.

LVC ValleyFest in 360




This 360 video captured the experience of ValleyFest at LVC. This project was done in a group with Liz Allebach and Ryan Dotson. We mapped out how and where we would capture scenes by creating wireframes and script of our film. The shots were taken using a 3D printed mount that held 6 GoPros to capture footage from every angle. I contributed in this project by helping filming the shots & stitching the footage together in Adobe Premiere and Kolor.
