Freelance Works
Starting in 2015, I have been freelancing to both keep my skills up and learn more about what clients want and need. In my time working with various clients, I have been privileged to be able to help small businesses in the Chicago area launch, grow, and present themselves to the world. I am including a sample of these projects, and am proud of my growth and work.
2015 - 2017 Wine Paper Scissors
Wine Paper Scissors was a family business in Mokena, IL that hosted painting parties. While the bulk of the work was a website, with complex ordering options, shipping, and payment systems, there was also a print component. These were tags used when you ordered product for them to produce for you, and an ad for back to school.
2017 ALIVE Project
ALIVE was a concept for an NPO focused on using ISO shipping containers as an inexpensive housing option to relieve homelessness. These containers would be fitted into apartments, allowing privacy and a sense of dignity and safety.
The project never left the concept stage, unfortunately.

2023 Fratello's Catering
This was my first foray into menu design. I have redesigned their catering menu and cafe menu, which is presented on TV screens in the restaurant. The primary challenge was matching the old designs, while updating them to a more modern aesthetic.
2023 J&J Logo Design
A quick one-off, this is a logo created for a local restaurant supplier. It was created to their specs.
All of these were produced using Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. Site designs were created in WordPress.
