2025
Over summer 2025, I was hired by Paul Duke STEM High School to design, print, and install window cling panels in the front entryway. After having just graduated, I had a unique view of what I would have liked to see as a student.
Working with my former graphic design teacher, Mrs. Ashley Adams, together we planned, printed, and installed all 34 panels using clear and white window cling, as well as view-through vinyl.

To start off this project, I sketched my ideas on the windows, which then gave me a better idea of what I wanted to do.
Since I was given complete freedom, it was a little hard to come up with initial ideas. I knew I wanted to play with circuitry and gears to reflect the "STEM" aspect of my

Once getting approval on my sketches, I digitized everything and sent it to print. At The Print Shop @ Paul Duke STEM, Mrs. Adams and I printed and installed all the cling.
Trough lots of trial and error, we learned a lot along the way about the process and execution of installing the vinyl. We tried and failed with so many things throughout this project, which gave me a unique insight into my future projects

For the view-through panels specifically, we decided on a mural-style drawing encapsulating the cities of Peachtree Corners and Norcross. Paul Duke STEM sits on the border between Peachtree Corners and Norcross, and students are split between the two cities. Both cities have unique aspects that we wanted to merge together in one mural.
2026
During summer 2026, I was re-hired by Paul Duke STEM to redesign some of their marketing materials. My projects were a postcard, digital newsletter, and a folder with the

My first project was to create a summer postcard that would be mailed to students in July. Embedded with this postcard, I designed a digital newsletter with more information.
