Galaxy graphics & Prints

an internal print shop to cognizant cards & Collectibles

Located in Pompano Beach, FL, Cognizant Cards & Collectibles is a hobby store stocked with the latest Topps, Pokémon, and other trading cards & services.

In January of 2025, the owner wanted to expand beyond cards, figures, and plushes and create an in-house print shop. With my previous Valero experience, we grew the print shop together from the ground up.

That said, I created the logo for the print shop, Galaxy Graphics & Prints, that clash with celestial themes and digital design as seen by the Pen Tool-inspired rocket head, symmetrical geometry, dashed lines, and anchor points.

Valero

During my time interning at Valero, at had the opportunity to create deliverables for both campaigns, both internally and externally.

Internally, I worked on a flu shot campaign, an October workout schedule campaign, and the Get Outside Valero event hosted by Valero's Total Wellness department. For interns specifically, I did the email invite for National Interns' Day!

Externally, beyond the headquarters, I worked on hard hat stickers, fundraising events, and custom signage amongst the refineries.

One of my biggest events that I contributed to was United Way's 10th Annual BBQ Showdown hosted by Valero. In particular, I worked on the sponsor, stage, and tent banners, as well as other deliverables.

Thank you to Bobbie & Braden for guiding and supporting me as I helped work on their respective campaign projects.

1541 Coffee -

A Rebrand

The original logo to the 1541 pastries and coffee shop I did for a rebranding project.

Focusing on a small local business in the Bryan/College Station area, I chose this coffee shop to help update its graphics for more readability across all products, being more modern while sticking to the roots of the family crest.

A redesigned horizontal logo for 1541, a coffee and pastry shop. The logo is on the left, consisting of a shield with an oak tree in the center. Royal-like lions standing on hind legs on either side, two swords in an "X" formation, with a knight helmet on top. To the right nearly in the same scaling is the name of the shop: "1541, pastries and coffee"
