Currently I am working on an assignment to make up a brand or event and create a 10 piece item campaign for said brand. I decided to make a bundt cake food truck business that my mom as always dreamed of making. These were some of my sketches to get ideas flowing. A lot of…

Just a few weeks ago, my Design class finally finished our 2025 portfolio show designs! Unfortunately my design did not win the vote to be the final design for the actual show, but I’m still happy with how it turned out. This was my design for the invitations. All of the items such as the…
