Design

I have extensive experience in InDesign, having worked with the program since 2009. That year, I began using it to lay out pages for my high school student newspaper, the T-Bolt Tribune.

In college, I used the program to design pages of Loyola’s student newspaper, the Loyola Phoenix, and earned a first-place award for front-page design in 2013.

I have also used InDesign and Illustrator for a number of other projects, including logos, graphics and documents.

One unique design project I worked on was a full mock-up for a magazine called Coffee Lush. The college project included coming up with the magazine’s concept, writing a five-page editorial plan, and designing the logo, front cover of the first issue, table of contents, two spreads and the home page of the magazine’s website.

Its mission: We at Coffee Lush love specialty coffee just as much our readers do. That’s why we’re dedicated to serving our audience quality stories with the perfect blend of retail trends, cutting-edge products, industry investigations and in-depth features and profiles.
