Editorial Designs

For the two-page editorial spread titled Confronting Homelessness, I combined impactful design with original photography to create a visually compelling and emotionally resonant layout. The design balances powerful imagery with thoughtful typography to draw attention to the urgent issue of homelessness and evoke empathy from readers. My photography plays a central role in telling the story, capturing raw, candid moments that bring authenticity and depth to the piece. This project showcases my ability to blend visual storytelling with meaningful design to raise awareness and inspire action.

I designed a book cover that visually captures the essence of the story while drawing readers in at first glance. Through thoughtful use of typography, color, and imagery, I created a layout that reflects the book’s tone and themes. The final design balances creativity and clarity, ensuring it stands out on shelves and digital platforms alike. This project highlights my ability to tell a story through design and create covers that are both visually striking and meaningful.

I designed a professional and polished newsletter for the Finley and Mason Law Firm, focusing on clean layout, clear hierarchy, and a sophisticated color palette that aligns with the firm’s brand identity. The newsletter was created to effectively communicate legal updates, firm news, and important announcements to clients and stakeholders. Through thoughtful typography and layout design, I ensured the content was easy to read and visually engaging, while maintaining a sense of credibility and trust—essential qualities for a law firm’s communications.
