Each card was printed in 'standard' postcard format and stuffed into a 6" x 9" envelope.
The total design package consisted of 3 postcards, an 8.5" x 5.5" holder, and envelope.
Each postcard was inspired by an area of UC Davis - Campus, Research, and Agriculture.

Postcards
Each year, UC Davis celebrates its donors and employee donors with a custom stewardship gift designed to show appreciation in a meaningful way. With a large donor community to reach, the challenge is creating something memorable, thoughtful, and small enough to fit inside an envelope. This year, we embraced that constraint with a simple idea: send little pieces of
UC Davis out into the world.
Each recipe card was printed at 6.5" x 4.7", and inserted into a half fold holder.
The total design package consisted of 3 recipe cards, a half-fold holder, and envelope.
Each recipe was curated from UC Davis grown products- like our coffee beans and tomatoes. These original recipes are one
of a kind!

This event requires numerous deliverables- print, digital and product. All web banners and social templates are editable so that each school/unit can customize their 'give page'. We also provide a toolkit folder that contains all the 2025 Give Day branding elements, templates, and logos.
We also hand out promo items (hats, keychains, sunglasses, etc.) during the Picnic Day parade, while employees rep our custom, 2025 Give Day shirt.Â

The 2025 Give Day theme was 'Transform Tomorrow' - conveying a 'look to the future' vibe, but also a fun and modern design. Paired with the UC Davis brand, we were able to create a completely new look and feel to our yearly event.
2025 Give Day
UC Davis Give Day is an annual 29-hour online and in-person fundraising drive to support initiatives at UC Davis Health, our Veterinary Medical Center hospital and clinics, and the UC Davis campus. Each year it coincides with Davis Picnic Day celebration, which is the largest student-run event in the nation! This years theme of Transform Tomorrow was inspirational through atomic era and futuristic design.
Book Clubs
Who doesn't love a well-branded book club? Whether it's creating a fun logo to match the vibe of your group or making fun hats or shirts to wear during your get-togethers, I can help bring personality and heart to your passion. Two of my favorites were for an elven-inspired, Lord of the Rings club,
and a galette pastry-loving group. Here's to all the book lovers out there!
Kaizen Grappling Foundation
Kaizen Grappling Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2022 that supports the grappling community by promoting healthy lifestyles and providing access to grappling through scholarships.

I was tasked with re-vamping their old logo into something more foundational, scholastic, and serious. The final logo was inspired by the art and complexity of Jiu Jitsu.

UC Davis Crowdfunding
Crowdfund UC Davis, a university-sanctioned crowdfunding platform, allows anyone to be part of a grassroots fundraising movement that enables a variety of campus groups to make projects related to groundbreaking research, student support and public service a reality.
​
Every year the marketing team is tasked with updated the overall look and feel of the website and cohort pages. I created a theme that upholds university standards and provides a youthful and fun design.
Student Foundation Branding Kit
The UC Davis Student Foundation supports campus programs and resources that improve the UC Davis student experience which is often made possible by philanthropic support from alumni, friends and fellow students.
​
I created a suite of marketing graphics, templates and materials to promote the Foundation and encourage students to help other Aggies in need.

Because this is a student-led program, I wanted the overall design to feel very fresh and youthful. Something that would get other students' attention.
Foxglove & Spruce
Foxglove and Spruce creates container designs tailored to your color and flower preferences, keeping in mind the characteristics of your property. Â
​
I designed a elevated and sophisticated logo with a natural movement to emulate growing vines. This way, it feels as luxurious as the custom plant containers my client creates.
I was inspired by my clients custom plant portfolio its natural elegance. The logo created was inspired by this and the client's request to have a custom font.

Program
This event showcased numerous, student-led projects- all supported by donor contributions. That being said, we needed a design that captured each project in an abstract way. You may see illustrations depicting elements of water and energy, or even the sublte depiction of a Formula 1 racecar.
Meet the Makers
The Davis Chancellor’s Club Insider’s Experience strengthens the connection between DCC members, donors, and UC Davis by offering exclusive behind-the-scenes access to key programs and facilities. This event allows members to see firsthand the impact of their gifts- which support a wide range of faculty and student initiatives. The overall vibe is student-led projects.
Drive-thru Designs
Who doesn't love a good Dutch Bros drink or a dirty soda from Swig Drinks? As well known as they are for their tasty drinks, drive thru's often collab with outside designers to create new and refreshing designs. I was tasked with creating a line of products that showcased one of my selected designs. The look and feel needed to match the loud flavors and bold colors of these brands.
Warby Parker
This project was just for fun! My friends and I gathered up our Warby Parker glasses and had a full blown photoshoot. Sometimes your client is yourself and you have to art direct
on the spot!
​
I wanted to capture the elevated and classy frames of Warby Parker in a new light (literally). Something that felt warmer, brighter, but still elegant and smart. Playing with reflections, lighting, and angles are a fun way to change perspective and provide new ideas for capturing people and prodcuts.
Aggies Uncorked
Aggies Uncorked supports Aggies in the wine industry and recognizes UC Davis' rich history in viticulture and enology. The membership gives winemakers a new channel for connecting with Alumni wine lovers, and supports student scholarships through the UC Davis Alumni Association.
​
To celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the program, our Donor Relations team wanted a UC Davis branded event with an artsy wine theme throughout.
The design is inspired by wine splatter and stains. Something messy turned into an artsy watercolor texture. UC Davis branded colors and type were added to showcase that this is meant to be an Alumni Association event.
Bohart Museum of Entomology Photoshoot
The Bohart Museum of Entomology was founded in 1946 on the campus of the University of California, Davis. The museum is currently the seventh largest insect collection in North America.
​
They have an incredible butterfly collection that we wanted to photograph for a principal donor, stewardship gift idea. The concept was to hand-select a series of butterfly species and mock them up on blank cards that we would then package and gift to donors. To thank the museum for allowing us to photograph their insects, we created a butterfly poster that they now sell in their gift shop.

Magazines
Magazine design turns content into an experience. Through thoughtful layouts, bold typography, and intentional imagery, it creates a visual rhythm that guides readers, strengthens the story, and makes every page feel worth turning.
​
Whether its a catalog to display a font's type face, or a historical zine showcasing art revival in a modern way, magazines are still instrumental within a digital world.

Full Logo Suite
The owners wanted to preserve the logo’s familiar shape and personality while giving it a cleaner, more modern feel.
My job was simple: keep what makes it recognizable, refresh what makes it feel dated, and give the brand new life.
In-Depth Leak Detection
Sometimes even a well-known logo needs a refresh. I believe great rebrands can bring an identity into the present without losing the character and recognition that made it memorable in the first place.
In-Depth is a family-owned and operated leak detection company that’s been in business since 1992. With decades of brand recognition behind them, the goal wasn’t to reinvent their identity—it was to refine it.
Direct Mail Solicitations
University direct mail creates a tangible connection between an institution and the people who help move it forward. For donors especially, a thoughtfully designed piece feels personal and intentional—turning gratitude, impact, and storytelling into something they can actually hold onto. It’s more than mail; it’s an opportunity to make donors feel valued, connected, and part of the university’s story.
