Creative Concept

Back in 2019, as I was graduating from design school, I felt incredibly inspired by the outdoors and by the kind of career I wanted to build. I wanted my work to encourage myself and other young girls to move through life with confidence. As the Outdoor Project beautifully says:

“Maybe you are one, were raised by one, are in love with one, or are raising one yourself. Regardless, cheer on this outdoor woman and celebrate her strengths, love her despite and because of her weaknesses, learn from her, and never be surprised, just elated, when she accomplishes something new. (Yes, even if, no especially if, this women is you yourself.)”

For my senior capstone, I wanted anyone engaging with it to discover something new from every angle: shifting colors, dynamic typography, layered imagery, all working together to communicate a powerful message. I drew inspiration from the photos I captured while studying abroad in Europe and from the incredible road trips and adventures I experienced with the Iowa State Water Ski Team. The beauty of the world around us has always driven my creativity, and I know it always will.
