Personal Projects & Small Business

Outside of the studio, I enjoy experimenting with many different crafting and design mediums including crochet, printmaking, cross stitch, painting, clay, 3D printing, and sewing projects.

Lucky Cat Crafts

Established in 2019, Lucky Cat Crafts began as a small Instagram page showcasing my crochet and other craft projects. An opportunity arose in 2021 to put my work out to the community through Shop One on Rochester Institute of Technology's campus. My work is showcased and sold alongside the work of local Rochester artists, as well as RIT students, alumni and staff members. Over the past few years,

I have been able to connect with other designers, artists, and other students with a passion for creativity, through this opportunity.

2023-2024 Pep Band Apparel

For the 2023-2024 Pep Band season at RIT, I won the annual apparel design competition. My design incorporates classic icons associated with band

and RIT, and utilizes a simple color palette.

Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I was able

to create mockups and finalize a design that was then produced on apparel for members of the band to order.

Hometown Marching
Band Apparel

In 2019, I had the opportunity to design shirts for my hometown marching band reflecting our show theme. I used Adobe Photoshop to incorporate aspects of our show inspired by themes from ancient Rome. These shirts had a front and back design and were purchased by band staff, members of the band, and their families.

Crochet

Crochet has been a source of stress relief and a creative outlet for several years for me. Being able to make physical objects that people want to hold, appreciate, and that brings them joy, has been one of the most rewarding things for me.
