Multimodal Creations

While the majority of my creations have been digital, for professional reasons, I have also expressed my creativity in other ways, through many modes of media. I have crafted many projects with a variety of supplies, and I enjoy bringing different styles and textures to my many projects and endeavors.

Figgy Food

This is one of my favorite creations for the C.S. Lewis Cat Instagram account. I had noticed how students were feeding the cats their own personal treats and other unhealthy items, which were physically affecting the cats. As a solution, I looked on Facebook Marketplace and saw this vintage, functional gumball machine, which I was then able to turn into a cat treat dispenser. Students are able to come, get food for the cats, and leave money to help the C.S. Lewis Student Center pay for cat medical expenses. Sadly, a raccoon or a possum broke the original dispenser bowl, but we were able to improvise by attaching a container to the base.

CS Lewis Cat Christmas Castle

In the past, students have left cardboard boxes and pet beds out for our campus kitties during cold and wet weather, despite the cats having a warm home to escape the elements. I decided to turn one of the cardboard boxes into a gingerbread cat house, bringing holiday spirit to these campus kitties. I constructed the house using cardboard and painter's tape, and painted it to match a gingerbread house.

Thing

For Halloween, I wanted to give each of the cats a costume, bringing creativity and the cat's personality to Instagram. For some of the cats, I used Photoshop and generative AI to create their costumes, but for Edmund, I used what I had, a silicone hand, and painted it to look like Thing from The Addams Family. This was a very fun project, and I loved being able to bring this character to life.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

During my summer breaks, I worked at a school as a teacher's aide and as a counselor in their summer camp. For some of the classes, the teachers were decorating the halls to look like they had just come out of the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I helped out by drawing this poster to match the cover of the book.

The Sweet Side of Barcelona

During my Summer 2024 Study Abroad Experience in Barcelona, I was a part of a group working on a multimedia project on a chosen topic. We were creating a video about desserts in Barcelona, and I decided to design a cover for our video using Adobe Suite.

Halloween House Door

In my apartment complex, there was a Halloween decoration challenge between the residents. I decided to participate by designing a layout and decorating my door.

English Parody Project: The Doorstopper of Destiny

One of the classes I took last semester was English 460, Advanced Writing. It focused on voice and how it was presented. One of our assignments was to write an Amazon review paradoxically, then creatively voice the piece. I wrote an Amazon review about a doorstopper and recorded myself as the voice behind the piece.
