The Journey Home, 2025
For this collaboration with the Illinois Holocaust Museum, I created multiple forms of content to advertise the VR experience we were able to provide though our partnership with the museum.
Food Waste Prevention Week, 2022-Present
Each year I create a set of informative social media posts that contain information about food waste, the reduction of waste, and how to save food in different areas of life.
Volusia County Public Library Card Design Contest, 2023/2024
As the main creator on this project, I played a key role in the production of the following:
- Social Media Posts
- Flyers and posters
- Voting materials such as ballots
Volusia Reads Together, 2021 - Present
Each year, the Volusia County Public Library system hosts a county-wide event called Volusia Reads Together during which patrons residing in the county read a selected book and can attend programs about the selected book. I have been a lead designer for 4 years; Shoeless Joe in 2022, Project Hail Mary in 2023, Other Birds in 2024, Lessons in Chemistry in 2025, and the upcoming book in 2026.
Each year, I design all social media posts for the event, flyers, posters, and any other miscellaneous designs as required. In 2023 I designed the logo for the 2024 VRT program that was featured on shirts throughout the county. To the right are a select few examples from various years.

- Kit conversation activities
- Kit welcome letters
- Kit discussion activities

- Children's Summer Activity Booklet
- Teen Summer Activity Booklet
- Program Brochures
- Event flyers
- Event photos
- Social media posts (Facebook and Instagram)
Sheriff's Foundation Bike Raffle, 2023-Present
In early 2023, the Northeast region of VCPL received donated bikes from the Volusia County Sheriff's Youth Foundation that were raffled off to teenagers who participated in library programs. This program has continued under a different name, the Pedal Forward Project, and has expanded to serve the needs of individuals of all ages in need of bicycles for transportation.
I designed the social media content for this project, as well as various tags and posters displayed with the bikes.
Green Screen Photo Events, 2022-Present
Throughout the year, the library system offers free green screen photos for different occasions; graduation, holidays, seasons, etc. For these events, I created the marketing materials, including promotional flyers/posters and social media content.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten, 2021-2025
When a child reaches milestones in the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge, I am tasked with taking their photo, editing it, and uploading it to Facebook. These are some of the most popular posts that have been posted on the library Facebook page. Cumulatively, these posts have garnered thousands of likes and are by far some of the post popular posts that end up on VCPL's Facebook. I take the photos, edit the photos and add graphics to make them more visually appealing, and schedule them for posting.
Teentober, 2023-Present
Teentober is a nationwide celebration of teens in the library during the month of October. I create social media campaign materials for this celebration yearly.
YouTube Videos, 2020-2022
Throughout my library career I have made several videos for the Volusia County Public Library system. I have made informational and just-for-fun videos for all audiences. You can see some of my work to the right.
For each of these videos, I designed corresponding social media posts that link back to the videos in order to reach a larger audience.
