Northern Kentucky University partnered with TANK (Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky) to create a light installation for BLINK Cincinnati. I was a lead designer and a student leader on the project. I assisted with this project from March 2026 to October 2026. As a lead designer and student leader my duties included:
Designing the installation
Problem solving
Sourcing material
Building the team
Delegating tasks
Ordering material and maintain the budget

This being such a large scale project made me a better designer and leader.

The objective of this project was build a minimum of 16 sides (8 cards) that tell the story of a poem. There were few rules about what this project had to be. It could be repeating cards, texture cards, typography cards, image cards, whatever told my chosen poem the best. For this project "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe was used.

This project highlights the benefits of therapy to address mental health challenges. A monochromatic color scheme was used to keep it calming but the colors were kept vibrant to draw attention. The illustrations are used to represent each statistic.

This project tells a story of infertility through only images. Typography was not allowed in this project, and we had to pick an object to represent our topic in each composition. A tree was chosen as the object to represent fertility since they can be full of leaves or dormant. There are different ways to fertilize trees and that was used that to symbolize the different ways humans can have a baby. The project consists of six panels. The first (top) three are collages. The bottom left is a traditional analog media where alcohol markers and watercolor were used for the tree. The bottom middle was content aware media, so using something other than traditional methods such as markers, colored pencils, etc. A digital pregnancy test with a tree drawn on the screen was used. The last one was an AI generated image where AI (Firefly was used) needed to be directed to fit the rest of the panels.

An illusion of two or more colors put together to optically create a new color that isn't actually there optically tricks the brain into thinking there is a new color. As it gets farther away or your eyes blur there are new colors eyes optically create.
