Client Work
This section highlights projects I've completed directly with clients, outside of Village Creative and Fanshawe. These experiences gave me the chance to take on real responsibility, apply and grow my skills, and deliver real results and products. From building websites to creating digital and physical media, each project reflects my ability to adapt to different industries, voices, and goals.

CHAUTAUQUA BIRD, TREE & GARDEN CLUB
My work with the Chautauqua Bird, Tree & Garden Club is one of the most meaningful projects in my portfolio. It began through a connection to Leslie Renjilian, the club president, who invited me to help with a few pieces of content in 2022, which then evolved into over three years of design, web & app development, and program leadership.
I've been going to Chautauqua my whole life, as has my mom for her whole life. Chautauqua is not only a special place to me, but to the history of my family. Getting the chance to contribute to the BTG felt like giving back to the community that has shaped me.
Highlights:
-
Rebuilt the entire BTG website from the original Squarespace into Wix
-
Designed custom graphics and illustrations
-
Worked on program and pamphlet design
-
Contributed to the development of the BTG app
-
Contributed to a large-scale QR code project of the trees on Chautauqua's grounds
-
Helped develop a cohesive look and feel for the club's branding
Reflection:
Working with the BTG was always about more than just design; it was about not only helping a legacy organization thrive, but also giving back to the place that has given so much to me. Leslie's trust in me made it all possible and allowed me years of grow my creative skills. Below is a collection of some of the work I generated and some photos of events and people that made it all possible.

CYBERBRIDGE MARKETING
CyberBridge was a smaller-scope but meaningful contract where I worked directly with Lauren Dietrich to create thought leadership content and practical research for the agency’s cybersecurity clients. My role blended writing for the blog with behind-the-scenes research and internal presentations. I connected with Lauren at the Marketing Alumni Networking event at Fanshawe and was so thankful for the opportunity to dive into strategy and real-world application of skill.
Highlights:
-
Internal research and presentation on AI tools
-
SEO Optimization
-
