RISE 15 Year Report
RISE is an organization that works with children of incarcerated parents in Rhode Island. To commemorate their first 15 years of impact and to set up for the following 15, RISE asked me to create a booklet style report filled with photos and infographics. Thanks to RISE for the opportunity to work together!

The Learning Garden logo
The Learning Garden is a home-like childcare center located in an old general store in a historic neighborhood of Warwick, RI. Children ages 6 weeks through 5 years grow and learn through play in a warm, nurturing environment. Featuring a large outdoor play area, The Learning Garden hopes to instill a love of nature in its students.
With these characteristics in mind, I created a logo that emphasizes learning, growth, and nature. Of the concepts I presented to Carla and Raquel, #3 was the winner. I'm so happy with how this illustrated logo turned out and wish The Learning Garden all the best!

Painted Wooden Signs
These hand-painted signs were created for Renaissance and are pretty simple to do yourself with only a few materials.
MATERIALS:
- wood, cut to size
- black wood stain (optional)
- print-outs of lettering or design
- white chalk
- paintbrush
- acrylic paint
Here's what I did:
- Since the wood pieces I used were from different sources and had slightly different colorings, I used a black wood stain to make all the pieces unified.
- I printed out the lettering to transfer to the wood by covering the back of the paper with white chalk. Then, I traced the paper printout letters with a ballpoint pen, pressing hard. This left a light chalk outline to help make the painting faster and easier.
- After the design was transferred, it was just a matter of painting all the letters in. I used a couple sizes of brushes and watered down my acrylic paint a tiny bit to help it flow better.
I love how these came out and would definitely recommend trying a similar project out yourself.
