Florentine Opera - Season Image

, , ,

As part of MIAD's competitive internal internship, Visual Resources, I was challenged to create a set of cohesive, approachable visuals for the four shows in the Florentine Opera Company's 2012 Season.

In order to appeal to a broad audience and help visualize opera's emotional intensity I illustrated simple but dramatic symbols in a stylized manner, inspired by cut-paper. The climactic depictions, reminiscent of simplified Victorian toy theater cut-outs, are set against vivid backdrops painted as a reaction to each show's score.

This project was selected as the winning design and was used by the opera company to promote their 2012 season.

Hand Painted Wrapping Paper

, ,

Petiole Paper Co. is a personal project I started to experiment with color and pattern. A lot of my design work is digital so it’s always fun to challenge myself to do something with my hands. These designs start with watercolor paintings and become repeating patterns with digital editing. I’ve always loved the ritual of giving gifts and I created this series of holiday papers that capture the joy of Christmas in unexpected ways. In 2019 I sold my wrapping paper as part of MIAD’s student and alumni holiday art sale and raised over $300 for student scholarships.
