Graphic Designer

Hi, I’m Mae.

I design brand identities, packaging, editorial layouts, and web experiences — turning a loose idea into a visual system that holds up everywhere it needs to live. My work draws on logo & identity design, art direction, typography and grid systems, and packaging and print production, built start-to-finish in Adobe Creative Suite. I care about the details most people skip: consistent systems, considered layouts, and files that are actually production-ready.

Let's talk

Got a project in mind? Let's make something worth looking at.

Whether it's a full brand system, an editorial piece, or a site that needs a redesign — I'd love to hear about it.

01 The Challenge

NOLA Parks For All works to ensure every neighborhood in New Orleans has access to a safe, well-maintained park. Civic sites like this tend to read as dense and bureaucratic — the goal was to translate a mission about equity and access into a layout people would actually want to explore.

02 The Approach

I built the mockup around large photography, a simplified navigation, and a warmer palette pulled from the parks themselves, then mapped out a full before/after comparison to show stakeholders exactly what was changing and why.

03 The Result

A cleaner, more navigable site structure that puts the mission and the parks front and center, with a clear content hierarchy for programs, park listings, and donations.

01 The Challenge

Sneaker and streetwear branding lives or dies on shelf and social presence — the identity had to be distinctive at a glance and flexible across formats.

02 The Approach

I developed a wordmark-led identity with a tight supporting color and type system, then applied it to a business card to pressure-test it at its smallest, highest-detail scale.

03 The Result

A compact, recognizable identity ready to extend across packaging, social, and print.

01 The Challenge

Translate one graphic language across two very different substrates — screen-printable tee art and a scroll-stopping Instagram post.

02 The Approach

I designed a high-contrast, typography-driven system, then built out a print-ready design document alongside a matching social post to launch the drop.

03 The Result

A cohesive, print-ready apparel graphic with matching launch content, ready for production and release.

01 The Challenge

Modernize a nostalgic, highly recognizable package without losing the brand equity that makes it Meow Mix.

02 The Approach

I reworked the primary pack face and character illustration, then built a side-by-side before/after to show how much could shift while the brand stayed legible on shelf.

03 The Result

A refreshed shelf-presence concept with a clear before/after rationale for the direction.

01 The Challenge

Outlier needed a mark that read as independent and a little unconventional — fitting for a studio positioning itself outside the mainstream.

02 The Approach

I designed a geometric wordmark/symbol pairing and tested it across a brand mockup to confirm it held up at different scales and contexts.

03 The Result

A versatile identity ready to anchor Outlier's broader brand rollout.

Carry a distinct visual tone across two mediums, keeping the same color and type language whether the piece is static or animated.

02 The Approach

I built the core brand mockup, then translated the identity into a short animated video to show how the mark and palette move.

A brand system that works equally well as a still image or a motion piece.

01 The Challenge

Client contracts are usually the least designed part of a creative business — this project treated the wedding contract as a real editorial document, keeping dense legal language readable across many pages.

02 The Approach

I built a page system with clear section breaks, consistent type hierarchy, and breathing room, then laid it out across the opening pages, the middle sections, and the closing signature pages.
