Previous Work
This page holds a bit of the work I have done in marketing, communications, and design contexts (left the odd jobs out). I’ve had the privilege to work in some very cool roles where I’ve been exposed to lots of people and learned bits of knowledge from each of them. Across all of my experience I have found that I truly love both working on things I’m confident in my ability to do and also hopping into new experiences.
Cleod9 Music & Audio
Marketing & Communications Intern
Cleod9 Music & Audio creates tracks & sounds for commercials, films, and other visual projects and I was lucky enough to intern with them in a more open role. I worked on website updates, competitor and industry research, graphics creation, marketing strategy, creative brainstorming, music library tagging, SEO, collaborator relations, playlisting, and a handful of other things. Below you can see just a portion of the work we did together in some of the graphics I created and some projects we are still working on.
Podcast Music Playlist
Cleod9 found that they had been creating a lot of music specifically for podcasts and pumping out stock tracks that would work really well in podcasts. I was assigned to brainstorm all creative aspects of a new Podcast Playlist for the music library that people visiting the site could check out. I whittled down the title options to Sounds for Thoughts and Hear Me Out. Below are a couple mock ups of textures for the album covers of the ‘podcast genre’ tracks that will eventually be uploaded to the music library. This is still an ongoing project with Cleod9 but wanted to share a little peak into some of the work we did together. I created these using Procreate and Canva.
Recently, I’ve been able to help a bit more directly with the social media efforts at Cleod9. Check out some recent posts I’ve pulled together & some assets I’ve made for our Instagram stories.
Social Media
I created this short video for our Instagram story breaking down how this custom track was made for our client at Curology. I made this using Adobe Express.
Cleod9 works with a variety of collaborators and as finished ads/films/projects were released, I would add them to our site with custom posters. I took the role of creating these graphics over the summer, compiling either given assets or assets I found on my own. Check out some below!

Open Doors
Open Doors is a local nonprofit that provides housing and support services to marginalized populations and those experiencing homelessness. As their group is having some upcoming shifts, they wanted a complete rebrand and came to my Adobe Creative tools class for help. Our class created some logo ideas for them and you can find mine below. I wanted to create many options for them the exemplify who & where they are and what they do without completely changing their current look. The group does important, meaningful work and I wanted to create logos that didn’t distract from that but support it. I really enjoyed creating these and am happy to say we have been in contact as they are likely to utilize one of these designs!
Arts Incarnate
Within the last couple of weeks, I have helped out a friend at Arts Incarnate, a group that puts on events featuring visual and musical arts, by joining the social media/content efforts. Here’s a couple of the things I have created for the group’s Instagram and Facebook. I am hoping to help out more and begin doing some data tracking and strategy planning with them.
