Graphic Design
A variety of graphic designs created over the years. Some of them were commissioned pieces and others were created for different organizations such as the University of Wyoming and the UW Berry Biodiversity Center. There also are a few examples of school work from my time at the University of Wyoming.

These designs include scientific illustrations and diagrams, photoshop projects, illustrator projects, and promotional materials.
