My Work

Welcome to my portfolio! As a graphic designer and illustrator, I value connecting with my clients to create something we’re both excited about. Whether it’s a full logo package, a pet portrait, or a simple social media graphic, I’m all about attention to detail and designs that inspire. For an even deeper look into my designs and creative process follow me on Instagram and Facebook, or send me a message to get started!

01

Logo Design

I was honored to design a new logo for Kuany Kuany Foundation and I love what we came up with. They wanted a vibrant logo that represents basketball while speaking to their African roots. They wanted two Ks back to back to form the inside of a basketball.

Started by basketball player Kuany Kuany, who grew up in Australia and is captain of the South Sudanese national team, the organization uses basketball as a way to provide mentorship and support to kids from all backgrounds.

Dog Portrait - Bernedoodle

Gino is an example of one of my original, highly-detailed pet portraits. I'm passionate about capturing the animal's personality, and Gino's personality really shines through in his eyes.

As part of the service, I create a collection of design variations based on your requests – for example, your pet’s name or nicknames in different styles, designs incorporating your interests, and some random ones that I think are cool. Gino's parents love Italy, so they requested some Italy-themed designs.

Because I create the portraits as vector art, they’re scalable to large sizes without losing quality). With your input, I design products with the portrait and upload them to my shop for you (see the Dog Collection here).

Social Media Graphics

This gallery contains examples of my social media graphics – there are cover photos, profile pictures, regular post images, blog covers, and email marketing graphics.

Before starting Design Garden, my focus was travel consulting and blogging. I ran all aspects of my travel business, which is how I honed in on my passion for digital art. That's why I've chosen these designs to highlight this particular skill set – they don't just represent my work, they represent who I am. It's important to me that my clients feel represented in the same way.

Events

Let me create a unique design for your next party, meeting, performance, or any other event that needs a personalized artistic touch.

I designed this venue map for a wedding, and I love how they turned out! A lot of care went into my illustration of the Barn at Finley Point, an event venue on the shores of Montana’s stunning Flathead Lake.

Tattoo Design

I did this custom illustration as a reference image for a tattoo in honor of my client's mother. She asked for the outside view of a window with a flower box under it, filled with her favorite flowers (petunias), and staggered bricks around the window. She also asked for there to be a reflection of light on the glass with a sheer curtain behind it.

07

Portrait

After focusing on animal portraits primarily, I've ventured into the world of human portraits! I really enjoyed drawing Shawna, she's known for her smokey eye makeup.
