Welcome to my graphic design portfolio website reflects my deep connection to nature and animals—subjects that have always inspired my creativity and shaped how I see the world.

The colors, textures, and movement found outdoors fuel my design choices, influencing everything from typography to layout compositions. Incorporating nature photography into my work allows me to merge two passions, using organic imagery to enhance visual storytelling and bring authenticity to my designs.

As I continue building this portfolio, I hope to share it with others not just as a collection of projects, but as an invitation into the natural world that motivates me. Through this blend of design and nature, I aim to connect with viewers and show how creativity can grow from the environment that surrounds us.

Magazine Layout

For this project, I designed a magazine layout focused on Mediterranean cuisine. I reviewed the content, defined the tone and audience, and created a clear page structure using filler text.

Monuments Made from Words

These graphic posters feature famous Italian monuments, with words and phrases about the monuments arranged to form each structure. Inspired by my Italian heritage, I focused on landmarks from the Roman Empire, using typography to highlight their history and cultural significance.

This project focused on transforming a word into what it represents. I used the word “Pirate” and reworked its letters to reflect pirate-related concepts, incorporating symbolic elements into the typography to convey the theme.

Word as Image

Week in my Life

Textwrap Poster

The design uses text alongside images of endangered marine animals to share facts, threats, and conservation messages. I applied text-wrap techniques to integrate information effectively. This piece is meaningful to me because I’m passionate about raising awareness and inspiring action to protect marine life.

Fact and Illusion

This series explores the boundary between reality and illusion. I photographed a subject multiple times in the same environment, capturing different poses and movements, then digitally combined the images to create a single composition. The result challenges viewers’ perception, blending real moments into a surreal, layered scene that feels both familiar and uncanny.

This flyer uses bold typography, color, and imagery to communicate the importance of composting and sustainable waste practices. The design balances clear information with visual appeal, making the message accessible and engaging. The project reflects my interest in environmental awareness and using graphic design to educate and inspire action.

Holiday Flyer

I volunteered to design a holiday-themed flyer for Suffield Community Aid, creating both print and social media versions to encourage local residents to sponsor households during the season. The design combines festive visuals, clear messaging, and an engaging layout to inspire community participation and support. This project allowed me to use my graphic design skills to give back and make a positive impact.

Non-Profit Campaign

For this nonprofit fundraiser project, I designed a comprehensive graphic campaign for the World Wildlife Fund, including a poster, flyer, web banner, and t-shirt merchandise. The designs incorporate visual elements that reflect the organization’s mission to protect wildlife and natural habitats. A key feature of the flyer is a perforated voting section, allowing participants to easily tear off and submit their vote for the event. This project emphasizes thoughtful, mission-driven design while creating engaging materials that encourage community participation and support for conservation efforts.

Font Poster

For this poster, I explored the Futura typeface, drawn to its geometric, clean lines and historical significance. I designed the poster to reflect the art movement contemporary to Futura’s creation, considering both the style and the purpose of the typeface at the time. The project combines typography, historical context, and visual composition to create a design that honors the font’s legacy while showcasing its enduring aesthetic appeal.
