Here are some examples of projects I have done for my employer or volunteer jobs.
- “Your Local Intergroup” brochure
- Assortment of Flyers
- Assortment of virtual open houses
- www.islandclubofhh.com
- www.al-anon-lowcountry.org
- www.summerhousehiltonhead.com
I pride myself in utilizing royalty free images and music to lower costs when possible. If I can’t find exactly what I’m envisioning, I will turn to Etsy to see what artists have on there. A great example is the “Your Local Intergroup” brochure where I overhauled it in 2023 and changed all the artwork to a watercolor style and was able to purchase the art and rights to use it for non-profit work for a very reasonable price which gave the brochure a more professional polish that the original lacked. In 2024 and 2025, I became more accustomed to utilizing AI to create images, music and help me check phrasing used in certain projects since many times, I was tasked with the project alone. I am a self-taught graphic artist with no “drawing skills” hence the importance of resourcefulness so that I can create work that properly reflects the message needing to be conveyed. For websites, I tend to lean toward WordPress CMS for websites with lots of content like the Island Club of Hilton Head or the Al-Anon Beaufort County websites that I setup and manage. However for clients that just require a simple, static webpage for their online presence, I have coding knowledge that allows me to edit existing templates to customize them, like the Summer House website.
Currently I use the following software to create most of my work:
Microsoft Publisher 2021, 365
VEGAS Movie Studio 17 Platinum
Paint.NET (with several Plugins)
I also am familiar with the following AI tools:
ChatGPT 4.0
Suno
Canva
