My Work

Oakland University’s
Environmental Science Website
2025

I was contacted by Oakland University’s Environmental Science Instructors, Dr. Ed van Hees, about creating a website for their department that would be separate and more informed than OU’s exisiting Environmental Science page on their website.

I utilized SquareSpace in order to allow Dr. van Hees and other collaborators to easily modify the site in the future, and worked closely with Dr. van Hees in order to ensure that the website looked and operated to the standards of his original vision. This includes all design aesthetics, images, website operations, code injection, CSS customization, and site consistency.

The website includes information regarding OU’s Environmental Science programs, degrees, disciplines, upcoming semesters, field trips, internships, and ongoing faculty research. Visit the site here.

Caverns & Critters Merchandise
2026

Caverns & Critters is a SKIRR Realplay Podcast that follows a group of recently heartbroken, and newly single young adults who find themselves cast into another dimension where they have been turned into little critters.

This podcast is a collaborative effort of five individuals, and I was tasked by the CritterMaster to design merchandise for their online store. Many of the design choices were made based on quotable one-liners, as well as events and scenes from the show.

Chippewa Landing Mural
2026

Chippewa Landing is a canoe livery in northern Michigan which has been providing camping, canoeing, rafting, kayaking and tubing on the Manistee River for over 60 years.

Having painted on some of their equipment sheds before, I was invited back to paint another wall–visible from the waters edge of the landing if you’re headed towards the rental office.

My vision for this painting was to be a bird’s eye view of a segment of the Manistee during a busy day at Chippewa Landing. Each letter of the business name is represented by a form or figure of different elements that embody Chippewa’s hallmarks.
