FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY
Designing for Fort Valley State University’s 2024 Homecoming with the theme “There’s No Place Like the Valley” was an exciting and deeply meaningful experience. The theme was a celebration of the unique sense of community, tradition, and pride that defines FVSU, and my goal was to visually capture that spirit in a way that resonated with both students and alumni. Drawing inspiration from the iconic imagery of the beloved "Wizard of Oz," I created vibrant, whimsical designs that showcased the warmth, welcoming nature, and strength of the FVSU family.
FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY MURAL
As part of major renovations, the Florida A&M University Bookstore is now decorated with a new mural that illustrates the storied history of FAMU.
When envisioning the new look for the bookstore, a team, including representatives from Barnes & Noble, the chain’s design consultant, Business and Auxiliary Services (BAS), and the Office of Facilities, Planning, Construction and Safety, wanted to include design elements that would depict the vibrant, unique, and rich culture of FAMU. We spent many hours and meticulously poured over hundreds of photos to ensure an accurate, yet vivid depiction of the University’s historical timeline.
Florida A&M University
FAMU's inaugural 40 Under 40 event was a groundbreaking celebration of the university's exceptional alumni who have made significant contributions across various fields by the age of 40. This prestigious gathering honors the accomplishments of young leaders, innovators, and change-makers who embody the values and excellence of FAMU. As a key player in bringing this vision to life, I was proud to lead the creative direction, ensuring that the event's digital and visual elements reflected the dynamic achievements of these trailblazing alumni. The event not only highlighted their individual successes but also showcased the power of FAMU's legacy in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. From interactive presentations to an immersive virtual experience, the inaugural 40 Under 40 was a celebration of ambition, talent, and community—setting the stage for future generations to aspire to greatness.
FAMU HARAMBEE FESTIVAL
FAMU's Harambee Festival is a vibrant celebration of Black culture, heritage, and community, held annually in Tallahassee, Florida. As one of the university's signature events, Harambee brings together students, alumni, and local residents for a day of cultural pride, artistic expression, and unity. The festival features live music, art exhibitions, food vendors, and performances that highlight the rich traditions of the African diaspora. "Harambee," which means "let's pull together" in Swahili, perfectly captures the spirit of collaboration and solidarity that defines the event. It’s not only a time for FAMU’s community to come together and honor Black history and culture but also a platform to celebrate the creativity, resilience, and achievements of the next generation. A true reflection of the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, Harambee serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of cultural expression and collective empowerment.

Darius and Brittany’s wedding Save the Date is a beautifully crafted reflection of their unique love story and the celebration to come.

The design blended elegance with personal touches, incorporating a soft, romantic color palette and delicate typography to set the tone for their special day.
