Addition magazine

Addition magazine is a fictional print publication that I created for creatives who are constantly looking to add to their skill set. The edition that is featured here is all about photography and serves as an introductory to the practice. For this publication I wrote all the articles, designed the cover, shot the photos, and did the illustrations. I enjoyed how this project combined two of my favorite things, design and photography in a really fun way. 

“Design can be art. Design can be simple. That’s why it’s so complicated.”

BountyShare app

BountyShare is a prototype of an app that I designed using Adobe XD. The purpose of the app is to serve as a bridge between those interested in donating to food banks and the actual food banks themselves. This app helps people who are interested in donating discover what is most needed in their area so they can best serve the community.
