Below is a curated collection of the projects that mean the most to me, including pieces from my full-time career, side jobs, and personal endeavors.
A comprehensive collection of my professional work can be seen here.
The flag of Dowagiac, MI
I've assisted about a dozen cities with their flag redesign contests, but Dowagiac's was by far the most meaningful!
While the city formally adopted a slightly different design, my design with the white fimbriations and green dogwood center is what business owners put in their front windows and residents fly off their front porches. My design is also what appears on locally-made t-shirts, decals, hats, and other souvenirs.

Rochelle Park, NJ's 150th Anniversary
The township tasked me with designing pole banners for their 150th anniversary. However, they also tasked me with creating an official sesquicentennial logo, which was to be used for various purposes throughout 2021.
After submitting numerous designs, including a new corporate logo to be used after the anniversary, my work became a part of Rochelle Park's history!
Maywood, NJ Hometown Hero Banners
After seeing my banners in neighboring towns, the borough reached out to me so I could help them with a special project: honoring their 20 residents who served in the Armed Forces but never made it home.
I created the design from the ground up, which prominently features various colored roses signifying how each soldier died while in service (Killed in Action, Never Recovered, Friendly Fire, etc.).
This banner was featured at a recent municipal-related trade show in Atlantic City, and over 50 towns expressed interest in having me design similar banners for their residents!
NJ Alternative Fuel License Plates
This is the first ever license plate I designed for the state of New Jersey. While it was ultimately never adopted as an official plate, it did make its way to directors of the Motor Vehicle Commission, who praised me for my efforts and complimented the eye-catching design.
Recently, I have also created plates that honor our active duty and veteran servicemembers.
Rockbridge Rifles
This flag was accurately recreated from museum archival photos from the 1990s. The original flag from 1859 had essentially disintegrated, and I was tasked to create a digital file that was to be turned into a physical parade flag.
Created with both Illustrator and Photoshop, the flag you see is the result of my efforts! The museum was thrilled with the recreation, and my flag has since been used in numerous historical re-enactments.
Upper Merion Twp, PA Hometown Hero Banners
Upper Merion Twp.'s Hometown Hero program was another very meaningful project to work on. I created this banner design based off of my client's vision, and she was left in awe upon seeing the final rendering.
I had the honor of attending their Memorial Day ceremony where the banners were unveiled. Seeing family members take pictures with their loved ones' banners is a memory I will cherish forever!
Thee Walk With Me Lord Foundation
After I created the official flag of Irvington, NJ, a woman in the mayor's office hired me to rebrand her non-profit organization, which organizes fashion shows for pediatric cancer patients and survivors.
I created the logo seen here, which features a cancer awareness ribbon in the shape of a foot, featuring multi-colored toes that symbolize the most prominent cancer awareness colors.
