Working on independent projects affords me tremendous opportunities to grow as a creative leader, and to experiment with specific challenges in visual culture, branding, user experience, and communication design. Building a collaborative relationship with each client allows me to participate in their vision and understand their goals, which then informs design strategies that lead to insightful, consumer-activating graphics across a variety of media.

As an interactive design intern at the Textile Museum, my core project was to design and develop a digital experience for a museum-wide exhibition that provided contextual information and imagery for visitors who wished to further explore the exhibition's content. The project required my leading curatorial and exhibitions staff towards an understanding of device-specific opportunities and constraints that would impact editorial and design decisions—and ultimately the quality of the aesthetic and user experience; in addition to editorial image research and content layout.

As an exhibition design intern at NMAH, my core project was to design and develop an exhibit representing American culture at the time of the museum's founding in 1964. Guiding the project and its vision from concept to installation required both technical design skills and frequent collaboration with graphic production artists, installation staff, and fabrication supervisors to ensure that design/construction documentation could be clearly understood, and that project plans and requirements were both feasible and sensitive to production timelines.
