Many of the projects on this page are items I was assigned while working for TRMF. I have also included projects I completed in courses at the University of Mary.

Brand Book
Throughout this past semester, I worked on creating an extra artifact to showcase and strengthen my skills. The project I made was a brand book. The brand book was created and designed for a fictional tennis company, Deuce. I came up with the name and concept of the company for this project. After establishing what Deuce is, I began my work on designing a logo for the company. This led to the complete creation of the Deuce brand book. Adobe Illustrator is the application I utilized for this project.
